Do you drive a Wrangler?

I've contacted the NIJA a couple times but I keep getting the same dick move, "Jeep Only". That's why I hang with the NAXJA crew, they are equal opportunity offenders:) Thanks guys!

Yeah...I like to make a couple passes down <locations removed> every once in a while but <locations removed> is better. Thats where it gets real sloppy. They can call the cops but in all reality its still a road and I wouldn't think you could get in trouble for driving on a public road. Any way what capable squad car could make it down the road to chase us any way:moon: . Thats all they would see:D . -Shaun

We used to tear around on those roads when we were in high school.
One of us had a red white and blue, 1976 Pinto.
I had a '48 willys CJ-2a.
I can think of better ways to tear up my junk now....
I would like to see you out run the cops radio, and yes they can get a ticket for all sorts of violations when running up and down those roads, ask my son...

as the membership director of NIJA I can tell you that whowey is right, we're not a big internet chat bunch. most members would rather wheel or wrench then spend time on the puter. we use it mostly for some local tech advice and a way to let other members know that the run schedule is.

I live out by seanR (yeah, what a douche ;) ) and have never been on farm school rd where it is muddy. somehow, I can't see a muddy road as being "legal" wheeling. tearing up a road people use to get home just seems like something that gives us all a bad name.

whereabouts in the area are you at? N. IL is not known for having bountiful wheeling opportunities, just the way it is. if chicago democrats have their way, it won't get better either. :D

have I ever met you in person before? how do you know me so well? :D
 
I have meet the club at on of thier Jack Wolf meet and greets. Mark I think his name was, the guy with the offroad shop, was the only one who would really talk to me. He said just show up for a run some time. He said all the big guys normally split off and he didn't care if I ran with them. The Pres at the time was the most adiment about it being Jeep only. I just want some cool people with capable rigs to run with. As the red headed stepchild of the offroading world I get to see how all kinds of clubs treat outsiders and I haven't had good experienses with NIJA. FWIW
 
<locations removed> are both farm roads. No one uses the roads to "go home". The only houses on those roads are One at each end and they dont use use the muddy ruts to get there. I have no choice, no one owns any land that I can use and Im sure as hell not driving hours away everytime I want to get the jeep dirty. The roads we ride on are basically tractor roads filled with nothing but mud and huge ruts. I'll gladly stay off of them if any of you can provide a close, "legal" place to wheel. -Shaun

It's that attitude that makes us that wheel legal, look bad. Please don't do that.

FYI, Talk of illegal wheeling won't make any friends around here, nor is it tolerated.

EDIT: How's that for a 3000th post? :D

John-e, I'll put it this way... Maybe sometime around a campfire I'll go into a good bit more detail.

I'm no longer on the BOD over there, and I'm concentrating on ENJOYING my hobby again. Spending time with people whose company I enjoy, and not worrying about how a club is going to look. Remember people may not be exactly how they seem, but they are how they act. For the first time in a couple of years I find myself actually caring if I finish my current Jeep project, and think about how to build the next one.
 
Locations cleaned. Running a muddy road and causing damage to that road is not legal, nor is it ethical.
We are all fighting to save legal wheeling areas, the last thing we need is some yahoo tearing up a road.
Sorry that legal wheeling requires a drive for you, but that is the hobby, deal with it.

Although the road isn't gettin torn up by me cause there is alrerady12-18" ruts all the way down it, point taken! I will start looking for other means of getting dirty, the legal way. Any suggestions, somewhat close (within 40 miles)? -Shaun
