Where did you find that trail?

Washed it. Pulled the skids off and pressure washed all the crud off the undercarriage.
Didn't get the skids back on, went for a ride instead.
It's a little scrap of county land north of Mindoro, East of Burr Oak off Cty Q on Lockington Rd. There really isn't much for trails, but it was fun to play around a little.
The picture was taken right along Lockington Rd (which is just a short stretch of packed dirt road.)

This was a terrible idea. :laughing1:
I thought it was solid ground... until I started sinking without even spinning the tires. No traction whatsoever, lol, my Jeep was just hopelessly flailing about in very soft, thick, and slippery mud. The mud was up to the axle, I bottomed out on higher areas of mud beneath my Jeep (on the other side where I was sunk even deeper), and I think my front bumper was on the ground. The back didn't look to bad after I tried digging out the rear tires (it was even deeper at first), but that didn't help.
Eventually, another Jeep, a JKU, saved me.
This was a learning experience... lol

Haha that was my first thought after getting stuck... "I need bigger and better stuff for my Jeep."

did you paint your wheels that charcoal gray metallic color? or is it just an odd lighting effect from the sun?

Looks Nice!
How do you go about painting the undercarriage? Did you just use a rattle can? Anything important to tape up or not paint?

Used a wire cup brush on my mini die grinder (careful around the brake lines) ... cleaned with mineral spirits... brushed on Tremclad Rust Paint (Rust-O-leum) oil based, flat black. Just a few small things to tape around, brake line fittings, exposed bolts etc. Didn't do anything to the calipers ... yet
Removed my Mopar Rust Rails today ... lol. Time for the annual bed-liner touch up.

Got underneath her and tried to get the reverse switch out... Half a can of break away and two sore shoulders and cut up knuckles later I called my mechanic and made an appointment for Friday. I tried a breaker bar and air powered ratchet. I'm going to pay someone else to do it at this point since I don't have a lift haha.
