I'm in the huge city of Eldridge, just out side of Davenport, how about you?
The bead locks were not as difficult as I imagined, about a half hour per wheel. I guess I was a bit apprehensive only because I have no experience with this type of wheel, I do like the looks though and am anxious to try them out in Moab in March.
Looks Good.!

I'd say if you had front and rear lockers, a good running start, ten probally still no
That's damn deep. I was going through snow almost that much but it looks like you have Ice and underneath layer and that's hard for any non studded tire!!

Looks good... how will i ever keep up....:idontknow:
I'm from Rochester Minnesota and the only nearby spot is Appleton Offroad Park which is 3 hrs away from me.
I'm trying to get ahold of a local land owner that has hauled in a bunch of large rocks and boulders into a area near Rochester here. I'm going to see at my next meet and greet if some people wanna go play.

There is a spot called "The Cliffs" about an hour and a half from me in north central Illinois but it's really tight for a JK. I go sometimes but take my Polaris Rzr instead of the Jeep. For the most part my Jeep is a pavement toy here in the Midwest. I take four or five trips each year to Moab or Colorado and enjoy the Jeep there. I live just outside of Davenport in east central Iowa.
4-5 trips to Moab and Colorado a year!! I'm super jealous!!!

I head west about every chance I get. I'm 50 now and slowing down on the crazy work hours, I was on the 60+ hour weeks for quite a few years. This orange Rubicon is the most recent in a string of 5, I'm still deciding where to go next with modifications. I wish I lived about a thousand miles farther west but will have to wait a few more years.

hey the more the merrier I just talked to the father in law and he is cool with it we can get at least 2 jeeps in at the same time so we could do a few mods at the same time:rock:

There is a sweet park near Springfield MO. It's called SMORR it's a little bit of a drive for me from Des Moines (6 hrs) but its worth it.
