Project-JK.com Niagara Rim OHV Trail Run
Located deep in the heart of the Sierra Nevada Mountains near the Sonora Pass, Niagara Rim is a beautiful trail that Cindy and I had been wanting to run for quite some time now but always found it logistically difficult to do. Certainly, it's quite a haul to get to from our home down in Southern California and it's even quite the trek from South Lake Tahoe where we normally spend a good part of our summers. And, being that Niagara Rim is a 'difficult' rated trail, it's also one that we preferred not to do alone and finding friends who could join us out in this remote location had proven to be somewhat of a challenge. Needless to say, when we announced that we would be doing a run/camping trip out on this trail about a month ago over on JK-Forum.com, we weren't sure what to expect and had no idea of who if anyone would be able come along. Of course, what we hadn't taken into consideration was the fact that just about every planned run on JK-Forum.com has a way of getting people to come out of the woodwork and this trip was no exception to the rule. Much to my surprise, when all was said and done, we were able to get a total of 10 Jeep JK Wranglers coming from all over Northern and Southern California to join us.

Having completed almost a year of extensive testing and without any glitches or failures to speak of, TeraFlex is finally releasing it's long awaited Jeep JK Wrangler Rubicon 241OR - 2WD Low Range Conversion Kit.
