Silver Lake is about halfway up the state between Muskegon and Ludington. We used to have an absolute blast there in the early eighties. Great place to go if you get a chance.Was that Silver Lake or something? Where they shot a video.
SAME!!Excellent thread, much appreciated.
I'm one of those whom have never been on any kind of remotely serious offroad trail. Live in Atlanta, so was thinking of joining up with a local group that heads up into the N Georgia mountains.
Plan to be a sponge and learn everything I can from folks.
I would like to. That video looked fun. Only have 1 buddy with a 4wd and he's all nervous that something would break.Silver Lake is about halfway up the state between Muskegon and Ludington. We used to have an absolute blast there in the early eighties. Great place to go if you get a chance.
Nice thing about Silver Lake is it’s quite safe with regards to getting in trouble. Ton of people there to help. Weekends.....maybe too much help! The hill climbs are a blast.I would like to. That video looked fun. Only have 1 buddy with a 4wd and he's all nervous that something would break.
Maybe this forum will have"meetups" every now and then. Just like the COG and ADVrider used to (and still might).Nice thing about Silver Lake is it’s quite safe with regards to getting in trouble. Ton of people there to help. Weekends.....maybe too much help! The hill climbs are a blast.
I’m fortunate, my son has a FJ and is alway up to wheel except he is 4 hours from where I live.I would like to. That video looked fun. Only have 1 buddy with a 4wd and he's all nervous that something would break.
I’m sure there will be. Everyone is a bit on edge now but once people have their Bronco, I think it will become much more about fixing them up and where to go and meet.Maybe this forum will have"meetups" every now and then. Just like the COG and ADVrider used to (and still might).
your question about easy moderate and difficult can mean different things to different people. This is great question. I recommend going with groups so can have experience to assist and will learn as you go. You have the right idea by asking questions. I am member over overland bound and even as experienced offroader learn a lot of things from others.I like the idea of this thread. First I'm going to start off by saying I've been doing research about offroading/overlanding since the Bronco announced its release, but I don't have any experience yet. But I have found that there are websites and apps out there that help people find trails, and they usually include some rough difficulty ratings. The app All Trails is an example of this.
Follow on questions.
What does easy, moderate, and difficult mean to everyone?
How much difficulty variance (if any) should we prepare for due to wet or muddy trails?
What should a beginner have with them when attempting easy to moderate trails?
You kidding me? I’ve seen the stuff you guys say here, I’m not meeting up with any of you freaks.Maybe this forum will have"meetups" every now and then. Just like the COG and ADVrider used to (and still might).
C'mon, just put your keys in the...... nevermind. Wrong forum...You kidding me? I’ve seen the stuff you guys say here, I’m not meeting up with any of you freaks.
I beg your pardon, I resemble that remark!You kidding me? I’ve seen the stuff you guys say here, I’m not meeting up with any of you freaks.
I’m thinking it’s been about 50 years since I’ve been called a freak.You kidding me? I’ve seen the stuff you guys say here, I’m not meeting up with any of you freaks.
This was the first thing I was taught about driving off pavement. No thumbs inside.Ok 101 item.
Never drive with your thumbs inside the steering wheel they go on top (outside) of the wheel. Do not grip the steering wheel like you normally drive.
When you hit a rock, come off a limb, etc the steering wheel will rotate super fast. If your thumb is inside the steering wheel expect pain at a minimum. Skin, tendon, bone damage possible. Sometimes it’s even better to just let go of the wheel until settled down.
