Been lurking around the boards for some time now and thought I should get on out and post! I'm up in CT - near Storrs and UConn...looking to join a local club! Planning on attending the EastCoast JK Fest and meeting everyone!

Thanks All!!

Saw my first modded JK in CT this morning in Stamford. Red Unlimited, lifted with what looked like 33's on stock wheels and the Mopar bumper, parked on Bedford near Bradfords.

Default New to Board

Hi folks - I'm new to this board. Thought I'd give a shout out to my neighbors.

I live in Sandy Hook and work in Stamford. My JK is an '07 Sahara Unlimited - Since I got it I can't keep from taking crap off it and putting different crap on it. It's a sickness. I'm nowhere near finished with the mods - not sure I'll ever get it just how I want it.

I'm always looking for places to get the jeep muddy. If anyone knows of any good spots around here, I'd love to hear about 'em.

Hope to run into some of you on the road (I like to hit stuff).

Jack

Hey! This is sick that there are jks in Connecticut that understand the frustration of being limited to trails because of the 5-0. I'm from wilton and I frequently take the rubicon to this development up route 7 in redding. Pretty sick trail and a mud pit. Anyone know any solid spots?

From what I have been told, technically there is no public land that is legal in Ct
to wheel on. Private property with permission is a different story.
There are a couple of jeep clubs in the state that have use of private property.
NEJeep and Ctjeep are the two I know of.
I'm partial to NEJeep seeing I am a member.
