as my name implies im a complete noob im going with a couple of friend for my first trip this week end. any advice suggestions?
 
and its stock with a chassis thats had to be welded together twice..... so its not exactly suitable but if i have to just go on the access roads and ride with the guys im going with ill deal with it
 
I hope if the frame has been welded twice, ya'll are pulling it to the flats and not driving it.
 
a couple of us are meeting up sat morning and wheelin together if you wanna tag along? i have a 92 4.5in lift on 32's and dont plan on doing a whole lot. pm me if interested
 
Just be easy on it until you learn your limits, Ease into it, Just don't go hog wild your first time out. The wooded areas are the harder trails, there will be allot of people at the flats, So I watch and learn for a little bit, before jumping in and taking off. The flats is a great place to go. I will be there say hello if you see me, I will be happy to look at what you have and advise/help in any way I can.

I will be in a 99 Expedition towing a Hudson Trailer with Blue TJ on it, My TJ has Trail Jammers Sticker across the hood and a large white star on the hood. I plan to be there Saturday.
 
the frame is safe to drive on. I drive it to school every day i just cant push it at all... but thank you Burrells
 
Bronco Hung in 4 Low

I have a 1994 Bronco that works fine in 2 wheel drive as well as 4 wheel high.It is the push button 4X4 with auto hubs up front.When you put it into 4 high then shift to neutral for "Low Range" the 4X4 light and the 4 High and Low range light all start flashes rapidly together.It actually shifts to 4 low but will never come out of it.Both times I have put it in Low Range,I have had to buy a new transfer case motor to get it out.When I put the new motor on it,I have to manually turn the transfer case to 2 wheel drive to install it.When I do that the auto 4X4 works fine again as long as I don't try to shift back to Low Range.Any ideas?
 
Keep a look out for a white land rover discovery, I will be there friday and saturday, come by and say hi.

Dont get yourself into anything too deep on your first wheelin trip, also check out uwharrie, you should be fine on 2 or 3 of the easier trails.

Before you start throwing money into your truck, learn the feel of driving it offroad, a good driver is better than any locker out there

well we ended up going to uwharrie and i started to down wolfs den and we took a left i think we got on a harder trail im not sure but i couple of minutes later i was going over a couple rocks and i was flexing one way in the front and the opposite in the back herd a really loud pop from the weld backed out parked my jeep and rode with my friends... some how the weld is undamaged but i wasn't going to risk damaging my only car...
