Hmm, looks a little slow for your needs, But I think youll do just fine in it...lol
Wish I knew you were going to be in Nh, I would have loved to have checked out your rig and talk a little.

Be careful in brockton, and quincy. Not the best of hoods, maybe a bay for rent of something in the b waters, much better place to leave something unattended. If I think of anyplace I will let you know.

Have fun on your vaca....

Yeah, definitely a bit slow compared to my heep

Are you going to be at the fall crawl? I'll be there with Baystate, arriving Thursday 9/4.

I'm going to have an alarm system installed. The garage is less than half a mile from the police station, I've got too much money in my rig and tools to have anything swiped.

Give me some info on the fall crawl. Sounds like fun. I am looking to get a ripp sc, prob not till spring anyway, so I just wanted to shoot the krap with ya and check out your rig.

half mile from the police station, ya, make sure you have that place alarmed. I grew up in brockton so I know it well, I moved out quit a while ago, lived in E Bridgewater for a while, now up here in cow hampshire. But I am still a m******* at heart lol.

Fall Crawl is an event put on by the Northeast Association of 4x4 Vehicles (NEA.) The NEA is a group made up of delegates from sixteen 4x4 clubs. We have access to private property all across new england. If you're not part of a club, I recommend Baystate Jeepers (google it.) Unfortunately it's probably a bit late to sign up for a club and get a trail spot for the Fall Crawl, but it's not too late to join Baystate for the year, we still have lots of events left for the year. Annual membership is $50, and it's the cheapest upgrade you'll do to your jeep. Sign up on the forum, then send in your membership application, I think at this point of the year, it'll only cost you $25. PM me if you want some more details, it's a great group of guys, we're into camping and wheeling.

Big day today! First signed the lease on a garage for a year...the four bay one I mentioned earlier.

Second, bought a tow rig and new daily driver. 2012 Ram quad cab, Hemi, 4x4, 3.55's. 8,550 tow capacity will do just fine. Excellent price for end of model year and end of the month quota.

lol! Doubt I'll do any more than put a CB in it. Might take the Kenwood head unit out of my jeep and put it in the Ram. Not much need for in dash nav on a trail rig

Looks awesome Duncan!

I was noticing... of all the pics I took of your rig at MaBell, you still have an avatar photo that's almost a year old. None of your recent mod-extravaganza are even shown!

Nice!

Man, if you've accomplished all this with the restrictions you had, I can't wait to see what you accomplish now that your hands aren't tied!

Nice. That is the best mod you can make to the jeep. It gives you so much more confidence to try new and harder stuff.

Let us know how it pulls. I've started looking at new trucks and am thinking of getting a dodge this time around.

The Hemi is definitely strong, not an LS3, but it's the best thing going in the 1/2 ton market. Haven't pulled with it yet, but I got a step closer today. Found a trailer. Looked at the stealerships a bit, then found a guy who builds them. Went by and he is finishing up a 15 1/2' deck car hauler for $2100....almost $1500 cheaper than what dealers are asking for comparable models. Here's a pic of one with an 18' deck that'll give you a good idea of the finished product.

Drive over fenders? I know mine doesn't fit between a standard 78" or 79" fender width. I'd imagine yours is about the same width as mine.
