I would love some additional info on the trail ride in april at ocala national forest if it is still going to happen. I'm located in ocala and I haven't met to many other cruiser owners.
maybe im in on that...depending...how far is ocala from west palm?
Shizzit, would love to get something going, if I can ever get my rig 100%. I just had some stuff snow ball me (exhaust, birfs are due, pulley probs, etc..) and haven't been able to get caught up on it all.Still researching getting use of my company's land (at least 80,000 acres), but we are going through a HUGE merger (potentially double the acreage) and nobody has a clue as to what will shake out (me included). Like I said before, it is not super challenging terrain (hills, mud, sand, plains, forrest), but it is VERY isolated and ALOT of it.
Ocala is 300mi from WPB and about the same from Naples. The land I am referring to is center state, from hwy 64-north to hwy 60, about 100miles from WPB and about 60mi from Naples. I'll keep posting updates the more info I get (merger should be done by early June, if I still have a job :-\
hey that companys land sounds like a good idea man, im sure if i could pulll fsusteve away from his boat for more than a min i could get him to come and im def. up for going. is there anyway of getting a ride in before june??
and good luck with your job

Hey Seminole, keep us updated on that, it has HUGE potential.
Al, you know I'm always up for a ride in the Tiki God, pumpkin cruiser.
We'll have to get Tommy to come down from the panhandle too.

It's not a good idea to try and ride or organize any ride out on IMC land. I'm a mine supt. and wouldn't do it in my own mine! It won't fly as far as liability to travel off established mine roads in personal vehicles unless to a fin & feather area. Spoil piles..... not a good idea. So soft you couldn't climb them and so close to deep pits you rig is gone if you slide in.
PM me, we can get together and BS. I spot for Spaceghost in comps so I know cruisers somewhat.
By the way there are plenty of places to ride in FL.... And some really good ones if you look hard.... (sorry for the Jeep pics
)
The newest trail we've built.....
me....
buddy Dave....
Last trail we built....

I just moved back couple of months ago to Miami, FL. I don’t know anybody in the area with cruisers or any places to go wheeling! So if anything comes up count me in! Does the trail ride for April 30 still up?

Welcome back, you wouldn't be Junk's friend would you? Anyways Lowtideride and myself wrench and wheel a little in Naples, we're looking at putting something together shortly if you're interested.

Yes, I happen to be Junk’s friend. Used to wheel a lot with him….great guy. I am up always for wheeling, Naples or Ocala both will be cool! Where would we be wheeling in Naples and in Ocala….are there a lot of places…? I may be able to get one other 80 and two Heeps to join us.

Lots of places in Ocala, but generally due to my schedule I stay here mostly in Naples. We still have a few places, but they are becoming more rare.
Pay no attention to "Bigdude" He's just mad cause he got caught at Ft Green by our "high speed" security personnel in his heep rock crawler. Seriously, he's got a bad a$$ rig. Kevin, who is the only person at IMC you know with a cruiser??? I done some wheeling on our property and it can be fun, but expedition style. I hear NewCo is a bit more tolerant of that stuff as long as you are an employee?? Welcome to cruiserland, now go get one!
VZLAFZJ80, Ale, good to see you on IH8Mud dude. Lowtide, fsusteve and everyone else here, for the most part, is pretty cool. Watch out for that TJDIV guy as he has a thing for white squirrels, but he's not in your area of FL so you are safe.
Just remember to get up here for CMCC or we'll have to send some goons to find you.
You ever get those other tires on?

Junk,
Yea, I have had the 37” for about 10 months, since the weekend prior to Memorial Weekend last year… That is why I couldn’t take my truck to Dave’s place and I was sleeping inside that rented Ranger pick up, I didn’t know if the tires would fit or not…by the way I still don’t know
Also, that is why I smash my finger really bad putting rocks under your little 36” swampers so that you could make it up that little rock (sorry I don’t recall the name of the trail). If I had taken my truck I would have gone up with it to show you the line you should have taken and if you couldn’t make it up I will have pull you from the top!! Sorry had to make up for that pictures where my truck is being winch!!
Of course I would be going to CMCC, I have to get some stuff done to my truck before like installing that M15000 that has been seating in my house for almost a year, so that I can drag our a$$ every time you get stuck….and also make sure the 37” fit ok……but hopefully I would get everything done by then.
