anybody around or in chicagoland?? just curious casue if were going to the same events in the future we could convoy...and help eachother out if needed! let me know were your at and what your up to. IM in Cary Illinois
 
We sometime go to Cliffs which about 1 hour away from chicago

If you dont know, there's a BIG event will be made yearly called WinterFest, this year it will be March 5-7, check it out!
 
Im near yorkville il... about 30 mins from the cliffs... dont currently have the rig going but looking to have it going for summer!!

We live near Rockford. There used to be a big Chicago area group, but we achieved everythingand got sick of each other.....


Just wondering if there is anything else a group of people around the chicagoland area could do to open up some legal wheeling property??

Or more places like the cliffs....

Is there any public land (DnR) to legally wheel on??
 
...I am 30 minutes west of the big city!

:wave1:

nice. good to know some of you are so close. one of asked about close DNR property, or somewhere we could legally wheel. Unfortunatly, unless we all put some cash together and bought a chunk of land (i can think of a few that are perfect) i dont think so. Illinois DNR has no place for us. There really hard on snombiles, ATV's and anything that could potentially leak oil or gas into the wild. Illinois is pretty protective of its prairie land. The acreage im talking about is like 40 plus. and costs well over a few million. If someone were to buy it, youd have to open up an ORV park, put up a wash rack, and buy a dozer. then go to town and charge like 15 bucks a rig for all day. could be profible, but the first few years it was up and going youd be paying bills. it could work though.

Are any of you going to winterfest? We should all get together and see wahts going on. Are any of you a part of XJC as well??

by the way, im in cary...in between palatine, and woodstock. Of course, barrington and the grove is between me and palatine, and crystal lake is between me and woodstock, but hell, you get the picture.
 
Welcome. I am in Libertyville not to far from where you are. I was just over your way last weeken in Fox river grove, but the wife and i were in her GLI
 
full size waggy?? nice, how built is it?
Not as built as it will be. Like most of us it is a project in progress. It has a modified 6" BJ's all spring lift, 35" Bogger's, Mild 360, 3.73's with a spool and TruTrac. It does alright, but like I mentioned always a work in progress.
I am going to be a Winter Fest for sure. Last year I meet up with some people from Mokena, and we rolled down together. It was a great time.
 
I bounce between Zion and Lake Villa IL daily

im stationed in GL now, have a 95 country with 3 inches and 31s been dying to try out out here, would love to be able to convoy and meet fellow jeepers up here...
 
we can all convoy to winterfest. We'd just have to set up a meeting place and time. I should be going to winterfest, it all depends on how this axle swap goes
