Well, FAT is an overlanding trail. Can't do it in 1 day. I plan on hitting it in sections over multiple weekends. But yall are looking for rides near u, go to Facebook, if u have, and find Florida Trail Stompers. They ride alot around Citrus and Croom. But they are statewide group. Also take advantage of some promotional partner discounts.

Just found out my surgery in Celebration is at the end of March, so I’m going to get a few weeks in February and another few weeks in March to check out Florida by Jeep. I’m definitely checking out Ocala and at least part of the FAT. If you gents round up a weekend trail adventure, count me in. I might be a little top heavy with my RTT, but I’ll try not to hold up the line.

Shouldn't have any issue running an rtt, I never do. Just be mindful of what's above

Can't remember if I mentioned it, but join Florida Trail Stompers, Dirt Road Coalition, and High Road Jeeps on Facebook. They do trail rides, meet n greets, and other events.

Never hopped on the facebook train so might need to rely on this forum or some random instagram group. But thanks for the info @LordEnzo !

Thanks. I’m just mounting mine up this week, so I figure they’ll be some adjustment period on roads and trails over the next few months. I got one with an aluminum case, and went with a 3/4 height rack, assuming I’d make a few low-hanging mistakes. You know what it’s like — buy pretty things and then go smack them around a bit to make them real.

Unless you stay on the big boring trails, RTTs are going to catch some substantial branches in the ONF.
I have a full height rack with a 6" storage tube bolted to one side and it sounds like it's getting ripped off half the time out there.

Ok. Still need to finish a few upgrades, but I decided to get out and about to test some of the new gear. Doing four easy days in the only state park that had an open spot — Highlands Hammock — and then heading up to Ocala NF on Tuesday for five days or so on the FAT.

If anyone’s out there, flag me down. First cold beverage is on me (provided my portable power system holds out ).

Ran into this guy hiking in Highland Hammock. I’m not sure what Florida trail etiquette is, but I went around him.

Yeah, the locals can be snippy at times. ?
