Wheelin in SE Michigan

[Marine_mike]

Hey I'm looking for some ppl to go wheeling with in SE MI. I live in Mt Clemens, right down the street from Slefridge ANGB. If you see the green S&R YJ feel free to stop and say HI.

when i come home on leave we can do it it will be more towards christmas time we could go to the mounds

[Marine_mike]

Sounds cool to me. BTW... I feel ya on the minivan driver thing. My wife traded in my 02GC for one. lol

[SquiDMonkeY]

Man, That'd be a blast. Now if Only I could convince my wife to hurry up and let me get that lift kit/bigger tires/recovery gear. Right now my jeep is not very offroad efficient, being the old exterior stock XJ it is. Haven't put much rush on it, being stuck here in northwest ohio and all. But I am about 3 hours from mt. clemens. How's the wheeling around there?

[notarubicon]

yuo can go stock at the mounds there are a ton of bypasses

[SquiDMonkeY]

Well hell, Id be more than willing to give it a shot then. :) just keep in mind my suspension is completely shot ;). Going stock sounds kinda lame... heh.. But it something to do, and lord knows there is nothing to do in this town. :D

I don't live to far from the Mounds. Their are some trails for stock but also some deep holes there. Don't forget you need a current Mich. ORV sticker to get in.

[notarubicon]

you can get the orv sticker at bass pro shop or cabelas

[WinkTJ]

My daughter lives in Southgate. Next time I'm headed up there I'll try and post something. I have heard of the Mounds on other forums. I would love to wheel up there someday.

[notarubicon]

worst case scenario my Grandpas neighbor has some good mud trails that we ran quads and the tractor and my pickup down to go set up tree stands it is pretty decent

[SquiDMonkeY]

ORV sticker? Price? :D (yeah so im tupid. happen's.) i grew up on a small island man... You wanted to do it.. do it.. what are these laws and regulations you speak off?

[Nikester]

Orv stickers are $16.25 for a year. They expire the end of March and can be bought at most sporting goods stores. The party store west of the Mounds have them for sale. The restrictions are mostly for noise.

[SquiDMonkeY]

Gotcha. 16.25 sounds reasonable. So, when we doin this?

[Marine_mike]

Hey ppl. sorry for not responding. I'm outta the country for work. I'll be home on Aug 22nd. All of us need to meet to head to the mounds. I'll bring my buddy from this way. He works at a lazer cutting shop and makes some pretty kick a** custom shackles for cheap. Let me know when everyone is free. I know wolverine 4wheelers club is having a one day outting there on the 20th of sept.

[Marine_mike]

Hey, I just had a brainstorm. We should head up there and invite the staff from Jp magazine out to wheel with us. It would be a great story for an issue!

[SquiDMonkeY]

So we're looking at late august then? That's cool. The longer I know in advance the better, Being a recruiter I need to know so I can plan my schedule around it and get the time off. And the JP magazine sounds cool, be nice to meet some of them guys, So long as they dont laugh at me too hard when I get stuck and struggle :D By the way, is their camping there? Been looking for a reason to through the tent and cooler in the jeep and get lost for a weekend (dont know how happy comnavwife would be but oh well she'll get over it)

[Nikester]

No camping there. There is a county campground about ten miles from there. If you want to see what the area looks like and the vehicles that go there regularly go to wegotmud.com. This group is out there every Sunday.

[Marine_mike]

well gents.... looks like I'll have plenty of time now to wheel. My contract job overseas just got yanked and when I come home on the 22nd of august, I'll be unemployed. Looks like I'll be cage kickin at the county jail!

[SquiDMonkeY]

The wheeling time is rock on.. the unemployment part.. sorry to hear that. Hope everything works out man.

[Marine_mike]

allright. I talked to the wife and she is animate about getting a wheeling day or two in when I get home. She's a photographer, so she plans on bringing here nikon. As of now I'm definatly free the last weekend of august. Let me know in or out.

[Marine_mike]

Mike

[Marine_mike]

BTT. Lookin to wheel this weekend.

[Marine_mike]

Hey whose goin where this weekend? There's alot to do and I can't make up my mind. Would like to do a meet and great before hand.

[SquiDMonkeY]

yeah. I wanted to go. But somehow i got roped into 'canoing' with the the aunts and uncles down near columbus. I wouldn't even really call it canoing it was more floating, and my fat ass causing the thing to run aground. Very frustrating. Did you go? how was it?
