JOMJ87 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Ok i didnt know where to put this but i think it belongs here but Pete feel free to move it. This is a new ORV park that has opened up in upstate SC. I have been thinking of going but i don't have a tow rig. :cry: But Ive done some sweet talking to a buddy with an atv and we might split gas and he will tow the MJ with his ATV on it. Anyways from what ive seen it seems like a decent place.I know Jeepmj_tj knows about it so he may have been but i do know that its privately owned and seems to be getting better each week. Here is a link to the website for it http://www.gulchesorvpark.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepmj_tj Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Yeah its only going to get better with time. I took the truck down there back in May. lots of loose hill climbs with dirt and rocks, a few small rock gardens, mud pitts, flexy suspension test track. all kinds of goodies. i did have to keep an I on the long bed... some of the trails were tight but doable... i have video but not any pics.. but i don't have the means to compress the video for proper internet sizing... :headpop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOMJ87 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 Can You email it If so i would like to see it. I'm trying to decide if i want to go to UNF or Gulches??? I have heard that UNF isnt worth the drive but i don't know. Have you been to UNF??? if so which would you choose. Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 The video i have is a DVD that one of my friends made. I havent been to URE in 5 years. but I probably would never go there again. Gulches is 45 mins from me, Tellico is 2.5 hours and URE is the furthest. I would say go check out Gulches. Let me know what weekend you would be going and Ill try and plan to meet ya down there.

JOMJ87 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 No prob i don't know when it will be but my jeepin partner (I think JPN4LO is his name is on USJeeps) is deploying so it will be after he leaves in a month or two probaly. And i got to try to get an ATV for my other neigbor who is towing me cause his is for racing. I will be sure to let you know though and we can meet up. That also goes for anyone else who might want to go also..... Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oizarod115 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 well it sounds like a pretty cool spot. I'm gonna go check out the website, talk to tim see if he's interested. we're kinda broke from all the work hes been doing on his and me just payin mine off... so real wheeling trips are few and far inbetween. actually on second thought... "You must be 18+ or accompanied by a parent while on the property. Parents must sign waiver forms before minors can enter park." probably won't happen until july 16th..

JOMJ87 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 That does suck maybe Skip can work something with you. He is the owner since its private property and his shoot him an email and maybe he can hook you up. He is a great guy anyways just let him know your a long distance away. I think we should have a MJ meet there just to see the look on the TJ and YJ and so on and so on guys faces. I think it would be priceless specially if we showed them what our little beasts can do.

JOMJ87 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 It is hell and I don't recomend it for you to do...I'm selling mine. I think we should do something begining of the year with as many club members as possible going to gulches by then I can make a friend to tow me there maybe :brows: ;) Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOMJ87 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 I used to do that in high school UNTIL one night I grabbed 2nd yes with my 2.5 and something started vibrating until i got to 50 so i pulled over to call my dad and he said drive home and take it easy....Soo i got home and he met me outside. as soon as he look under the MJ he seen the pumkin had broken loose and rotated straight up. :eek: the vibs were the bolts for the U-joint grinding themselves off. My dad used to drag race back in the muscle car days and said he had never in his life seen this. It was crazy needless to say i now have a diff axle after that one was fixed I didnt trust it to wheel. Cole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole :eek: the pumpkin rotated on the tubes? or the whole axle rotated? wth. thats NUTS... usually i just make alot of noise and take off really fast :brows: more worried about the BA10 than the axle at this point... but I'm not THAT worried because if i blow the tranny stock my parents will help me out... howeveerrr if i lift it and the tranny goes... theyll say its my fault. so I'm hopin it goes before i lift it.

JOMJ87 Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 Yeah it rotated on the tubes. We put it n reverse and revd her up and dumped the clutch with a jack stand under the pinion and it was back right. After welding the crap out of it including filling the hole for the spreader to go in I was back driving. Needless to say I don't play around like that anymore.
