I'm not sure if I will be able to make this one. I just moved to Sandisfield (about 2 min. west of Tolland, MA) so I may have to spend the time unpacking. On a slight side note, if you guys are planning on running Tolland, the water is starting to freeze over, you either need a Jeep with a metal grill (TJ, YJ, CJ) to break through the ice or somebody with a stinger, but even with a stinger, you may crack your plastic grill.

This is a pic of Scotcarp's jeep after a late Nov run in 2007


I ran through the first water hole and my grill was only bent in, I bent it back out by hand, he went first through the next one and that happened. If you guys are doing Tolland, I may be able to swing an hour or two to at least join you there.

great so far

we are up to about 5 Jk's, Lot of rain today and tonight, i don't think we are going to see any snow down this way, maybe a dusting. should make for a pretty muddy run

Matt, you know that mud hole i got stuck in is going to be huge, and deep

edit, about a 1" of snow at my house now, if anyone has any trouble in the morning, doesn't think they will make it, shoot me a PM by 8:30 let me know

Yes, good wy to "break" in the Rubicon!!

We have no idea how we damaged the bumper (honestly!!!!). If I actulally hit something directly in front of me or heard something, it wouldn't bother me so much. Considering we saw and heard nothing makes this a mystery. And I had Jay with me who sw and heard nothing as well. Crazy!!

I guess I officially own a real Wrangler now and not passenger Wrangler! Time to look for aftermarket bumpers or decide how to fix/alter the stock one.

Great time!!!!!! Want to get back out!!

Here are some pics of my now broken in (and slightly damaged) Rubicon. Just hit 300 miles on it.
