Figured it was time for one of these posts. Just wondering who is going. I have 3-4 jeeps meeting at my house if anyone is interested. I am about 10 mins a way from the rally on the MA side. In Hampden,MA. Anyone is more than welcome to meet up here and go as a big group.

Mudskipper

September 25th, 2006, 16:04

I also forgot my camera. But the day was really good all in all. Rig flexed good on the RTI and made it through the garden with no problems.

What a great time. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves.
If you ran the rock garden, there's a good chance I got to talk to you in the staging lane. I was wearing the safety green GAJR staff shirt.
I was too busy all weekend to get a lot of pics, but here are the few xj/mj pics from my camera.

My jeep on the ramp before the event got going. Scored a 1274.

Didn't catch his name, but this was a sweet looking XJ. Hopefully someone here can put a name to the rig.

specs on that rig please
I had so many people asking questions, taking pics, scribbling notes and scetches on napkins, that I might do a little spec/build-up write up. I took home the best off-road jeep award at the rally. Surpirsed the heck out of me.
Give me a few days for the write-up.

Mudskipper

September 26th, 2006, 15:09

Yours was definitely one of my favorite rigs at the show. And yes Rob I'm running stock gears on my trailer queen.

Mark,

I didn't get a up close look at your Jeep. Did get to say Hi to you though.

Does your Halo tie into the cage?

That would be the quick and dirty specs there. It's exactly what he is running.

You guys can also catch Mark on the following BBs, where he is a member.

http://forum.northeastjeep.org/index.php

http://www.freedomtrailriders.org/forums/index.php?

Those are two good clubs. There are some others in the area.

www.jonfund.com which I'm a member of, and it about to acquire over 150 acres of land to wheel on in CT

and www.ctjeep.org

Of course, if you haven't joined NAXJA yet, do that as well, but in New England, it's important to be part of a local club. You all know that we don't have enough land to legally wheel on.

In RI, you can also check out www.riohva.org While not a club, they are an organization that is working with in the law, and with the state of Rhode Island to get us some more land to wheel on.
