This mall has rocks!! Actually it's limestone. This place is supposed to be bad when it is dry. Today the by-passes (if tha particular obsticle had one) were almost impassable. This place will gum up swampers like it were a boat trailer tire. I got winched twice, do to a non-working front ARB now. I now have 1 dinged front bumper, one bent up rear bumper dented bottom of the bed at the back and my tailgate took a hit as well. One of the XJ's took out a mirror and dented his fender, The orange cc busted a motor mount and the YJ has one of the noiseiest transfer cases I have heard in a long time. This place is not the friendliest to long wheelbases and my but cheeks are still to tight for me to fart.









































The willys has a Nissan diesel & yota axles, very bad @$$ rig. The XJ's were very nice and the guys in them were top notch & gung-ho all the way. The YJ is a beater and beat it was! The CC has some tricks on it that are mostly seen on buggies but he has managed to make those work for him very nicely. Me, I'm going shopping for new underwear.

good to see ya getting that purdy rig of yours dirty. looks like fun.

Wow, very impressive . I guess I'd never seen pics of your truck before, only the one from the magazine where you were stuck by the mailbox, off the driveway ... Looks like a great bunch of trucks to wheel with and a decent trail for a good days adventure too.

There is not much terrain like ths in Fl. as a matter of fact, this is a man made place since it was a limestone quarry. Anything close to that type of stuff is at least 500 miles away from me. As soon as more pictures are posted from the others I will put em up.

Here is some video, right click and save please!! Definately not dial friendly unless you have a few days. The video is courtesy of Mark, who is the guy in the tight little yellow Willys.

Great pics and video Gator!

very nice pics!!

that exo cage made me feel like a teenage boy in the girls shower room after cheerleading practice. Awkward but happy.

Nice pictures great trucks.
Where in Florida is that place?

It's actually a pretty secrative place. Those that know of it are keeping it quiet so it does not become a trash pit. This is also one of those places you would probably want a guide the 1st time through. I'm thinking of an exo now as well. I'm not a big fan of them, but after this ride, I think it would be a good idea.

Lator....

Nice pics and cool video. I concur, that flatty is schweet!

There are more picture posted in this thread about halfway down. More should be coming from the other guys when they get home.
Lator.....

looks cool mike. do you think my hardbody would do anything out there? i guess if will made it around then i should be able too, him not being locked and all.
im DL'ing the video now.

He may not have been locked but I know my wheelbase hurt me on some. When my front ARB sprang a leak, it kept me from 2 successful climbs. It will definately give your truck a work out. I have more video that I am hoping Mammoth will host it. Or come over tomorow, I will be home most of the day.
Lator......

what the hell is wrong with the arb now?
i'll give you a yell if i'm gonna stop by tommorow.

I pinched the front line where it goes into the diff with the track bar. Once you try this trail the rest of Ocala may be ruined for ya. Will's got a real itch to build the XJ now he is even considering making it trail only and making the CJ a daily driver. I figure after a week he will be back to normal.
