Going to take a ride to the pines the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Might be trying two places that I haven't been to before... so it'll be a bit of an excursion.
If anyone wants to join in, post up.

How challenging are the Pines? I've never been, but I am curious. Unfortunately, I'm still at stock ride height, but I do have OEM armor!
You don't even need armor to ride in the pines.... its really not challenging at all. Hardest part is avoiding deep mud & water
Fun trip today... the XK never ceases to amaze me how it can climb with such ease; i basically idled up stuff that should have given somewhat of a challenge..
I'll have to wait for mike to upload the pictures and videos though because I didnt get to take any of my own.
Here's how the day started:

FWIW... those videos don't make those climbs looks as bad as they really are. At least in that last one you can see the TJ struggle in the very beginning. The QDII locked up in 4low is just unstoppable, almost too easy. They couldn't believe how I walked right up that one climb after the XJ
That looked like a cool place to go wheeling
So we drove up past RC today. Saw about 5 huge wranglers, an xj, and a bronco headed to RC. Im stoked to go!

Makes for some good family day trips! !
I have been there with the XK. Not as good as RC if you ask me...
I'm sure it isn't but it's hard to beat 1 hr vs 2+ hrs.. And its halfway between what will hopefully be my house soon and Matt's house.. so it's a good spot to just meet up for the day. And it's free....
I hear you!
I thought the fuzz likes to hand out tickets in the pines...

Hence the reason why the last time I went was when I posted this thread, and have been to RC 5 (or 6?) times since then.Quote:

They do. There are particular spots that are strictly off limits and I stay the hell away from them.Quote:

Not to make it sound like spending time with friends/family is boring lol... just that you'll be bored if you go into it thinking its going to be hardcore wheeling. A stock 2wd Commander could tag along and be fine.
