Default JKs in Korea

I am looking for a JK club in Seoul, South Korea. If there is one out there, please let me know.

There used to be one at Osan, I know that is a bit south of you, and I have no idea if it still exists, but they used to run around Songtan/Hill 180 out to K-6 (Humphreys). Maybe try talking to some of the troops from there?

Thanks, I will do some digging. I will post what I find here at JK-Forum and on my site for us here at www.peakjeep.com.

07JKX, I have not been off road here, yet (what I would call off road). I have seen some really serious Jeeps here in Seoul, w/Air Lockers, 4" lifts (not body) and some knobby tires. I have yet to see a true off road environment. I know there must be some. I have been a couple of times on dirt trails (thought that we were going to a real trail). So far that is it. I am going to try and get in with a group here but life is just too fast at the moment. The group meets every Tuesday and are said to be the only real off roaders. I will keep you posted...

The North would be very bad at the moment, with the mine fields and the border guards that would probably shoot on site. I have not done much with regards to site seeing in the South to be able to take some good pics but there are some pretty wild 4X4s here (Korondos, Gallopers, A Jeep looking Kia, among others). I know there are places to go off road but I have not pursued the issue much. Some day... on my Jeep page, I have some pics of my Jeep but nothing to show it off road.
