How about someplace around Elgin some Saturday or Sunday afternoon this month or early next? Anyone know of a place where we can get a bite to eat that has a big enough parking lot where we can line 'em up? all we need is someone to pick a place. date, and time. everything else will fall into place

I’ll post back with some open dates. My work schedule is all over the place but let’s do it.

Anyone know any local places to go and play around?

I know a place in Woodstock that’s not technically challenging but fun to mess around and get your rig dirty.

Well, time got away from me!

I’m planning a trip to the Cliffs this Friday with some Jeep friends. Any takers?

Anyone interested in planning another day to the Cliffs for some off roading fun?

There are some purdy 4runners posted on here. Just curious if you ever made it to the cliffs. Haven't been there in years. Cliffs used to be fun and did have a really good trail boss but the owner let the locals with 44s and big blocks just tear it up, so the trail boss left. And they mainly started cratering to atvs and side by sides. Basically the only thing left is the main access road around the park (aka trail 1)

Basically only decent park in the general midwest is the Badlands. Buy you still might want to get some armor.

Never made the Cliffs that day. I actually got sick. My friends with a new Rubicon and a Tacoma TRD made it to the Cliffs and said they had a blast. They said the trails were good but had no previous point of reference.

I’m planning a trip to the Bad Lands in Indiana next week once the wheels go on. Same group...Rubicon and Tacoma if anyone’s interested.

back in the day....

Finally got the new suspension lift and tires on. Rides like a dream now. Went ahead and moved the fender liner forward and trimmed the front bumper, but I don't think it was needed despite the 285s. The new UCAs got everything situated perfectly. But I'll never know. No issues with the mud flap either.

Adding a little bit of armor next as soon as I make my muse up.

Looking good!

I went to the Cliffs yesterday for the first time with a Jeep friend. Man, it’s rutted out like crazy in a lot of spots, even on trail 1. Still had a good time and would go back if anyone’s interested.

Just saw this! Moved back to Chicago a little while back, I still think it counts as Northern IL :eyebrows:
