[tibodoe]

I am looking for a place to bring my son 4x4ing in his Landcruiser.
Looking for trails, hills, mud. Y'all know of any areas that might work?

If your not looking for an organized ride, and just wanna drive offroad check out Catahoula Recreation in Sicily Island, La. But as posted above, Louisianaoffroad.com is where rides are often organized, usually once a month or so.

My son wants to go to that one.
Have you ever been to it?

Ive been there 10-15 times in the past two years. Its a great place to ride, especially if you know the property. Kinda sketchy at first when your not familiar, because a class 1 turns into a class 5 really quick at a wrong turn. What all is done to his rig?

He has a 3" OME lift and 33" Toyo MTs. No winch yet.l

He will want a winch if going alone. I rode most of the park with a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with 2.5 in lift and 32's, but it struggled. Bigger lift and 35's and its a litle better. Still Tough out there. You can push it as hard as you want to, or just drive along all the by-passes and main road trails.

He is turning 16, so I will be with him. I might try to get him a winch for his birthday present.

You can buy Engo winches cheap and they are a good price for what you get.. remember SI can get slimy fast, and if they have caught any rain , dont bother..

Feel free to sign up on LAO and ask around..

Engo, Smittybilt, Mile Marker, Rugged Ridge, Quadratec branded...... All can be had for around $300. Ive had a Smitybilt on my JKU for 2 years now and its never failed me, and ive put it through some extremely tough pulls.

I found the 9000# ENGO for $289 delivered.
The 10000# is $309 delivered.
What size do you have?

 

[bjeepin2]

the 9000 should be fine

I have the 8k, and keep a snatch block in the recovery bag wth shackles. Shovel, straps.... Etc. I ride with several people who have the engos who are happy with them.

Thanks for the info.
I am looking for a front bumper too.
Any recommendations on the best place
To buy?

 

[alpinehyperlite]

There a couple local, but I've never seen a deal from them. Online would be your best bet.

We made a trip to Catahoula Offroad Park by Sicily Island this weekend.
This place was fantastic. The variety of trails and scenery was amazing.
Our vehicles were only slightly modded, (3 inch lift and 33 inch tires). We were able
To go on many trails but some were unbelievably difficult.
I will go back in the near future.

There's supposed to be a big group going up the weekend of the 28th.
