Hey KGD2406,
You mentioned a good Jeep mechanic in Salt Point. I've been told the pinion where the drive train attatches to the rear pumpkin (Dana 44) needs to be checked/replaced and possibly the one at the front of the shaft. Can you post it or pm me with the info?
Hey I'm going to be at SUNY New Paltz visiting the woman from October 24 - 27th and haven't been wheeling since the summer and am going crazy here in DC without my Jeep, anyone from the area know of any decent wheeling spots/want to come wheeling with me sometime that weekend? I'M DESPERATE!! :rofl::cheers2:
how perfect as my woman will be out of town that weekend. i'll have to be easy on my jeep since my gears are breaking in but hmmmm..... we will be in contact.
anyone know of a decent exhaust shop near new paltz? my x-member hanger ripped off and i have a nice hole in my 3 month old downpipe. ive heard meineke in po-town is good but is there anything on this side of the river?
Mt. Beacon is totally illegal. Zero of the multiple land owners want off-roaders there, and they have allowed eco orgs (Scenic Hudson and such) to manage the place, which means the police enforce things. The last thing the 4x4 community needs is people knowingly using illegal trails.
I am in Dutchess County, and have been wheeling a LOT, and have not been on Mt Beacon since 2000 at least. You CAN enjoy the sport legally, just join a club to learn where to ride.
hehe, thanks mang.
I am down for wheeling almost anytime, although I go alot at night because it fits my schedule easier.
I just have to throw my hardtop on though, been mad cold driving the highway back home after wheeling at 2am. burrrrrr
I found out the pinions aren't such a big deal so I'll wait till I get the time or replace them with someone that knows what's up. Thanks for the number though!
Yo! Sorry man. Totally impromptu meet today! I was telling my friend about the first time I felt slightly inadequate with my new used stock Jeep was when I met your Jeep! LOL. Note to Jeep nubes with stock Jeeps: Don't park next to awesome modded Jeeps! LOL
I promise to pm you next weekend (Indian Summer please!). I saw nothing solid about a meet this weekend so I went to church in my childhood town and after talking to proper authorities did a little exploring. Turned out great. Best thing would be to pm me with your cell #'s cause I was able to call one friend out in PV and he was there and ready in about 45 minutes!
The pic looks good man! Haha, no big deal we DO have to set up a big Hudson Valley trip though. I am thinking about trying to join up the Hudson Valley Four Wheelers group.
BTW I got some spacers to get me through the winter for the front of my Jeep. Sagging pretty bad with the winch and bumper. After winter a 5.5 long arm kit is comin, either Rubicon Express or Rustys offroad.
curtagain, could you post bigger photos, maybe different angles? I can't make out the plate numbers on those trucks. The Environmental Protection Officers will need to know. You can just PM the plate numbers to me if that is easier. I posted above of that location, Mt Beacon NY being illegal. If you want a 2nd opinion, I am sure I can get one. Local groups fight with land owners and governments every day to try to get legal places for you and I to wheel. This sort of irresponsible activity just makes that work harder and makes off-roaders look like outlaws.

I will not be going anywhere illegal or where I don't have permission to go. DEC Police,local Police and landowners have not made an example of me by giving me tickets or impounding my vehicle. I do as I'm told by them! That's responsible. I appreciate you telling me about Mt Beacon being illegal and I wont be going where I'm not wanted but I'd appreciate you not attempting to make an example of me in these forums . I understand the no illegal wheeling policy here. I'm also enjoying my Jeep quite a bit and hopefully I didn't encourage someone to illegally wheel by seeing for myself what the situation actually is.
Good, was our 'Annual Meeting'. I got reelected for Trail Coord for another year. Over the winter we plan to finally incorporate (501,7c non-profit) and to get insurance for the club. Land owners you approach about using their land really like a formally incorporated and insured group.
Great day for wheelin! I'll be calling those that pm'ed me. I'll access a computer around 1200 today to invite anyone else. Will be exploring non posted trails around Beacon ,Wappingers ,Cold Spring, Fishkill. Will be leaving here around 1030 to 1100 AM.
I didn't mean you were. I was trying to get others here to recognize illegal wheeling is monitored often by others as well as those who try to promote good wheeling.
