Hey gang,

Joined baystate jeepers today. :)
I have only been jeeping for about a year now, but the upgrade bug has already bitten pretty hard.

Current setup

* 2016 JKU
* 2 inch mopar lift with fox shocks
* KO2 33x12.5x15 tires
* Raxiom 22inch grill mounted light bar.
* DYI blue led pushbutton on A-Pillar.
* Sunscreen mesh

I grew up racing quads, but to be fair it's been awhile since I've done any legit off roading... but certainly looking forward to seeing how capable the jeep is. :)

Hey, John,

Welcome to the BSJ forum and the best Jeep club this side of the equator. Hopefully, you'll join the club itself and get to experience many of our upcoming runs we have scheduled this season. Your rig sounds like it's off to a great start. Keep in mind that our members are the greatest resource we have and always willing to help with advice - just ask!

Looking to meet you on the trails soon.

Nice looking JKU you have there. Sounds like you are going to end up with a nice rig. I def recomend checking out all your options and asking questions on what you want to get some opinions on. You will find no shortage of folks with great advice around here.

See you on the trails!

Hey John, that's great. Wish I was able to make it tomorrow. How about a report afterwards to let me know what you thought of it.

I meant to ask you, where in Framingham are you located? I use to own a photography studio in downtown Framingham on Franklin street for 30 years.

I'm actually pretty close to where you used to work. I'm up on church street by Framingham State Campus.

Hey John welcome to the club from Marlboro. I'm a relatively new member as well. Really good crew here. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Thanks everyone. Hey Jeep Addict I end up out in Marlboro a good bit. Wife and I like to go out to lunch at Bolton Street cafe a good bit on the weekends.

Anyway look forward to meeting everyone on the trails. My first run at Harris Mtn was a blast!

Are you planning on the Gremlin Graveyard on Sunday? I will be taking an hour or two on Saturday getting the Jeep squared away....

JeepAddict,

I am hopefully going to make it this Sunday, but I am probably going to be out of town for family stuff on Saturday. If I manage to get out of it I'll reach out to you.

Cheers
John
