Just wanted to know who's in/arround the Binghamton area, I've seen a few XJ's and a couple ZJ's modded out. Anybody know any good spots to go wheelin? I've seen some trails from 17 along the river and I've been told you can wheel out behind Friehoffer's in Vestal by Castle Gardens. I've also heard about some trails at some old ski slope place near Penn Ave in Binghamton.
I've got a black 2 door w/the lightbar if anybody's wonderin what kinda truck I got, lift & 33's goin on real soon.

I'm in Elmira and work near Sayre. Not many places that I know of for wheeling. Most of what I do is west of here. If you find some areas to explore I'm always up for a run.

I'm in Bingo town I've got the green XJ with spare and hilift on the roof. That spot by friehoffers get's potroled quite a bit now I guess. There is some light wheeling on the state lands but nothing you couldn't do in 2wheel. I also drive a TJ as my DD it's a green sahara with a 2bb 31's and rock sliders. We should set up a M&G I know a great new place to eat in Conklin it has the best smoked briskett I've ever had

The SYE's already installed in the new case. I'm just waiting to install it until I have $500 to drop on a new crossmember/skid and rear driveshaft.

Mine's red. The three give-aways are: Red grenade sticker on driver's side rear window, big 'ol hard CB antenna on top and the lack of the hideous "sport strip" that's on all over 94's.

Was that the one that was at the muffler shop by BU for a couple days awhile back? There's another, newer red one runnin arround too but I've really only seen it downtown along with a maroon& primer one w/6" lift I've seen over at BCC.

I doubt mine was the one at the muffler shop...the only times mechanics have touched mine was for alignment and for when it broke down at the stealership parking lot!
Mine's on campus during school and at the corner of Farm to Market and East Maine roads during breaks.
I've been seeing a ton of modded XJ's lately, way moreso than Wranglers. I guess you just notice it more once you've upgraded yourself!

If you're ever in Endwell/Endicott there's a good lookin one on the corner somewheres on 17C/Maint St.

I think I know what one you're talking about. If it's forest green, I know the guy that built it. It's had three owners since then, I think. It's definitely a nice rig.

Barchack, do you have a bike rack on the back of your rig, I saw a red XJ on 88 this morning.
Barchack
January 19th, 2007, 08:04
nope, I have a roof-mounted one that I throw on top of my Surco rack during the summer. I just took 'er off to make room for the snowboard rack.

January 19th, 2007, 08:45
Looks like there is another red XJ around then
Zoro

Gabe-Did you add a snorkel to your rig? I thought I saw your Jeep on 17W by Vestal at 12 but this one had a snorkel.
These things are gettin popular up here

Hey guys I am up in Norwich, about 45 minutes north. I don't have an XJ yet but I am looking pretty hard core. If you guys know anyone that is getting rid of a '99 Black XJ let me know with a PM. Next year I am hoping to go to BU and I should have a small lift and somem other mods to it by then so I will definately hook up with you guys to do some trails.
