There are members from Florida, they just don't seem to post very often. Rambo comes to all the Crawl events. He and his brother-in-law are near Miami. You might just do a search for "Florida" in the SEC forum and I think several threads will appear.

I am in Florida between palm beach and miami. I have an 01 XJ with 3 inches and 32's. JCR stage 4 front with Ramsey 8k winch. I would love to attend some events around the state. Let me know. Im willing to travel to wheel. I love wheeling, wrenching, and working so if anyone needs helping doing anything let me know i have tools and access to many more.

I am a member of treasurecoastjeepclub.org I live in Port Saint Lucie its just north of West Palm Bch. Nice to hear from guys in Florida. My club goes all over Florida to events, it's the only way I would be into the jeep thing in Florida. Not to many places to ride? There is the Florida 4 wheel drive campout in Inverness, Fl also Jeep beach in daytona and Jeeptoberfest in ocala. Just to name a few. We are also planning a trip to River Rock Orv in Georgia in June any XJ guys up near Milledgeville that can show us some local spots?

I too am in Miami. However, I spend most of my time in the Caribbean. The XJ is in Miami. In 2008 and 2009 I drove it less than a total 3 months and only in the Miami Metro. I am working on being back to attend Fall Fling. I got to go to Moab.

I am also living in the Spring Hill/Brookesville area at the moment. My jeep is mostly stock. I am running 30x9.5's with a little trimming. I also have dual batteries to run the radio while on the job/party/camping. The only bad thing is my jeep is in Charleston, SC until I can get it fixed or towed down here. Nice to see I am not the only one in the area.http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q123/wac1977/2000%20Jeep%20Cherokee/88%20Jeep%20XJ/feb023.jpg

I bought those wheels for $60. They came with five rims and four tires which two were practically new. Two were worn down pretty good and and had a pretty good sized bolt in it which took a couple plugs to fix. They have been on the jeep a year now and no leaks. Planned on getting a used pair of tires to replace the worn two but have had a hell of a time finding good used 30x9.5 tires. I might be getting a lift soon and then I will just bump up a size or two. I sold my old rims and tires for $250 which were wearing badly due to being out of balance for so long and they were too big for not having a lift although I drove on them for several years and dealing with the rubbing which drove me insane. Here they are.

Milledgeville aka River Rock is all there is "legal" in GA.. unless you really want to drive the extra 4 hours north to Blairsville GA to Beasley Knob all that they offer is non challenging hills..
River Rock provides all the entertainment you ll need.
