Hello everybody.
New to Colorado and new to to Jeeping. I moved to Colorado in May from Florida. I bought a 1978 CJ5 a month or so ago. Its pretty much all original. Haven't been on any trails yet as I'm still getting a few things worked out on the Jeep and getting used to it. Does anyone know of any place near Loveland where I can get off road without going up into the mountains or driving for hours to get there? Just some place where I can learn the characteristics of my Jeep without the risk of being stuck far from home like a dirt trail or field or something. I look forward to hitting up some of the trails when the snow is gone and the trails are cleared up. Right now I don't even have a top, much less any recovery gear to get myself out of a jam. But in the mean time I'm getting the Jeep out when its warmer and putting around town to get used to it. Got to say I love it.
Thank you for letting me join and hope to eventually meet you guys on the trails. Also, this Jeep came from the Lakewood and Wellington areas, so if anyone has seen or knows anything about this Jeep, please let me know.
