Relocating to JAX

[David95XJ]

Any North Florida/South GA wheelers?

I'm getting ready to move to JAX here in about a month...i was wondering if it is worth bringing my XJ down there (strictly wheelin and occasional leisure driving).

I know there aren't going to be the rocks of VA, but are there public trails?

Can you point me in the right direction?

Uwharrie and Tellico are the best places to wheel the mountains. Tellico being the best. By the time you drive to URE you could have driven to Tellico and it is much beter.

There are a couple of Members and Guests in Jax.. You should bring the Jeep even if the good spots aren't close and the close spots aren't good, sand or mud, we try and get out one a month.

Besides Tellico, we head up to River Rock which is about 4 hours away in GA, also a new park just opened in Ocala FL, it's pretty tame right now but we are working with the owner to set it up for us.

When you planing on coming down?
Shoot me a PM I can get you some local contact numbers

Cool, i mean i love my jeeps had 2 cherokees up until about 6 months ago. My '04 F-150 has been nothing but a head ache.


More Florida stuff:
Can we run doorless legally on cherokees?
How are the lift laws? tires?

Sorry for not doing research easier to get it from the source. I'm planning to head down there first of August or so.

Doorless is ok as long as you have a two mirrors, Review and Drivers or Driver and Passenger,
Pretty lax on the lift laws, they have them but never heard of anyone getting pulled over or ticketed for that. got a buddy with a Tahoe on 53's and no fenders run's around all the time on the street and never a ticket

No state inspection here either

Now Mud on the jeep is a different story, if your in the National Forest and have mud on the Jeep expect a ticket for going through the wetlands.

Sounds good.


Is there a club down in North Florida? any links to wheeling?

Not much to it right now but it has some pretty good elevation changes, and can be worked on to be a pretty good place to wheel.. at least in florida.
