New Member - Rutland MA

[TheGreyMan]

My name is Jamie, live in Central MA. I’ve grown up riding motorcycles, spending lots of time outdoors, and have some experience trail riding…Nothing too aggressive. I have two young boys and have less time to enjoy motorcycle riding, so exciting to get into Jeep riding as a way to enjoy time in the outdoors with my boys.

I’m eager to meet and learn from others in the group.

Our First Jeep is named ‘TheGreyMan’ as a tribute to a family story/legend in our favorite vacation spot.
2015 Jeep JK Rubicon. We haven’t done much in terms of modifications but will consider upgrades as we get more experienced off-road.

Welcome Jamie! It's a great club that you and your family will enjoy. Smart move to wait before going crazy with the mods. See what type of trails you like, talk to members and build from there. Belly skids are highly recommended, however. Especially for the oil pan and tranny as Jeep doesn't provide any factory protection for those. Hopefully you can make the spring meeting in March and the 101 in April. Check the member section for tentative schedule dates. The 101 and Class VI runs are best for stock Jeeps.

Thank you for the tips. I’ll be on the lookout for the information for those meetup opportunities.

Chris has great advice seeing what others have done and don't forget to ask why. I've done this and it's guided what I've done and when. On one run, one of the members was driving a Cherokee instead of his Wrangler. I asked why. He said he came down on a rock with his Wrangler and put a hole in his oil pan and had to be pulled out. That night, I ordered an oil pan skid!
