Why does your Jeep say Toyota on it?

Hey everybody...

I've got a 2008 Liberty - bone stock - and am interested in getting into some wheelin with it. 

What's this whole story on Wheelin 101?

When is it?  is it actually happening for sure? 

Is my stocker Liberty (with stock all season tires) capable?  I don't have the tow hook on the front yet - but plan to install... should this be done before the event?

The story on offroad 101 is:

- its an event for people who have never wheeled before and are interested in trying it out in a fairly safe and low pressure environment
- It is open to all Jeep vehicles with "offroad capablities" (ie four wheel drive with a low range transfer case) so your Liberty does fit the bill
- It IS happening for sure... on June 13, 2009 at MacLean Creek
- You should definitely get some front tow points installed before the event
 
All this info and much more can be found in the thread that is sticky at the top of this forum (or click here)

pfff.... thanks fug - apparently I'm blind, because this was the only thread I could see on it.

Will certainly be trying to confince the [soon-to-be] wife to let me rip up the jeep.  I DO want her aware that the Jeep MAY come home with some-sort of damage...  Can anybody who's been let me know what to tell her to expect (damage wise)?

While there is the possiblity of damage... it's completely possible and even highly likely you won't come home with any.  We put the warning in place so we don't have someone getting PO'd that they got a scratch on their pride and joy.  It's like anything... there is a risk.  You could end up scratching the paint, getting a bit of dent or tearing up a tire (among other things) when you go offroad.

If you go skiing you increase the risk of breaking a bone.... but just learning to ski isn't a guarantee that you WILL break a bone.

Scuffed skidplates... maybe a ding in a rocker panel, or a door, or bumper. Basically like fug said... it depends. Depends on your speed, traction, and your ability to manouver your vehicle.

Super easy trail, though. And we won't put the group in any dangerous situations.

The donation could be $5  ... or it could $500.  It all depends on what you think the training is worth and what you can afford.   All the funds go into our Trail fund which is then used to help do things like build bridges, fences etc in an effort to maintain the trails we have or open new trails by making them sustainable.
