I understand you were trying to be cute with the title... but you won't garner much traffic that way. How about some details? Where was this? Got any maps or sat views of the area? Looks fun.

Seriously, looks like a pretty decent area. A real trip report would be nice.

Ok here's the review. The place is called BJ's offroad club. Its a privately owned land owned by the Moore's. Its located in Bowling Green, Ky 42101 off Barren River Rd. Google coordinates 37.027979,-86.495987. Its $10 to ride and his is open pretty much 24/7. Have to sign a wavier off course. Its before you get to the wishbone ranch http://www.thewbr.com/, which is another offroad course a couple miles past this one on the same road. Wishbone ranch is only open for events, but it is also $10. The trails are numerous and there is no map to BJ's offroad. He also has a motocross track in the middle of the trails. You have some mild rock trails to mud trails, and in the middle of the woods squeezing between trees trails. We mainly stuck to the main trails and it took us about 3-4 hours but you could easily spend a entire day there. Its close and local for me, a lot of the Jeep crowd go to BJ's and WBR. WBR's website gives you a pretty good Idea of the terrain of the area. Sorry never really posted a trail review I hope this ok. Let me know if you want anymore details I didn't think of.

hey jarhead, i have the same rig as you, color, year and even blackened my stock 17 inch rims as you did. i am looking to get somw bigger beefier A/T tires1.5 in. spacers and a lift/leveling kit. It seems im pretty much looking for what seems to be equivilant to the way your build looks in these photos. im looking to do some light mudding/trail riding, nothing to extreme but enough to get out there and enjoy the wilderness.
could you fill me in on what you have done to your rig up to the time of these photos including the tires. im researching so much but just not sure what to go with, NICE PICS
