UPS just came and I have my new axle shaft to install. So now after not wheeling since the 3rd, (broken on the 13th by my friend), I plan to go wheeling after I fix it. Hopefully someone will want to go and play in the mud. Heres a crappy cell picture, I'll take a couple while it gets installed with a better camera:

I am from Marlborough, and I go to school at Daniel Webster College. We started the club officially last year.

Heres a link to a thread about college clubs: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f27/college-based-off-road-clubs-604727/

So I figured I would give an update, Currently in college so cash is short, but I did just buy into a company and hopefully either end of this month or end of next I will be making +-7k. So with that my first plan is to completely pay off the Jeep (with some mods along the way).

First up will be the Berserk bumper (which I have been dying to get my hands on)
Then Front bumper w. winch.
From there not quite sure, I have been talking with AtoZ about fabbing up some Rev111 imitation fenders with better tire coverage and stronger against the rocks. So I will keep you all up to date with anything I purchace/build for the rig.

Until next time, You Stay Classy Jeep Forum

haha.. 60 percent of the time it works everytime.

nice build. If you get them to replicate those fenders, tell them there is more interest as well.

Update

So it has been a while.... Just a small update

It snowed a good amount out here (almost 2' i think)
Had my birthday (New KC Lights)
Jeep got washed!
And installed those lights and played in all that snow

Heres a quick picture I took, crappy cell but you can see the snow and the new KC's right after she got her bath!

I am still poor with school and all so just about every dime i get goes to my bills... but hopefully money will start flowing in soon! (anyone looking to get a new cell phone plan! I do all carriers and have sweet deals for phones! New blackberry storm for $189!)
