Last weekend in KY *more pics added*

xj4life · 07-19-2005, 09:03 AM

Spent the weekend with a small group of Jeepers last weekend at the KY Outback Adventure Park. Great wheeling, very hardcore, we tried, and didn't try quite a few impossible obstacles.

These were the typical trails, rocky and very over grown, nearly impossible to tell where your at.

This is Kevin (owner of Jeeperz Creeperz in MI) Trying the stair case in his 33" tired Zj with a RE long arm kit and 8" lift, even without lockers he made it farther then most.

Heres Brian, "the best spotter ever" taking a spill while helping me

With 36's, Detroits I made the best effort at making it to the top, but nobody managed to beat me

My buddy Kevin in attempting to best me in his TJ.

Ky Outback has a lot to offer any 4wheeler and with a group ranging from 33's to 37's we found it easy to trail ride and try obstacles together. The trails were very over grown and every person having a CB is a must, often we didn't see a jeep 3 places up until we got to the parking lot! Nestled in the back woods of Ky this park offers a atmosphere to go with the incredible 4 wheeling, I will be returning again for certain.

A few more.......

Brians nearly famous Cj on 37's saw his ARB stuffed dana 60's challenged all day in Ky, but only a huge light cover was damaged

A pic of a common steep downhill Ky has to offer, notice the back end sliding around, a hair pin turn at the bottom didn't help.

The park offered on site primitive camping and the trails are very close to the camping area.

IntrepidXJ · 07-19-2005, 09:41 AM

nice, i've been wanting to get out to that park. hopefully sometime next year....looks like a good time

IntrepidXJ · 07-19-2005, 09:44 AM

btw- how long was the drive there for you?

xj4life · 07-19-2005, 09:44 AM

i hope its still open next year

the owner is having a legal battle with the DA down there. the DA wants to make it so he has to have an entertainment license to run the park. so for now the park is temp closed.

That looks awesome. I wish I couldve went.

Wackodrumr · 07-19-2005, 12:25 PM

Wow, that place looks great. I'm moving back to KY in January and I can't wait to hit that place up. I think Twiek is moving up there in August. Soon there will be Jeepin.Com vids from KY!! [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]

I hope they get that legal battle worked out. Sucks how people are always out to close down the parks.

and some bumpstops

it was its madien voyage after 5 months in the garage. didnt have time to add straps or stops. oh well. that tire will be my new spare and it gave me a reason to build a new bumper [img]icon_smile_big.gif[/img]

bbaCJ8 · 07-20-2005, 04:19 PM

I love the rig now!! Last time I saw it(only time actually) it was still on 31s.

That last pic looks like it needs more trimming more than bumpstops. Doesn't look like the tire is up to far, just forward and grabbin sheet metal. Is your tie rod bent, or is it just a weird angle?

thanks man. i'm probably going to end up with a little bit of both. i'm hesitant to trim much more because i want to keep it some what clean, not all hacked up.

tie rod shouldnt be bent. didnt work it that hard and its 1.5"x0.25wall DOM. [img]icon_smile_big.gif[/img]
