WOW! I have to go to Boston more often. Now, after reading your posts, I feel like I'm really missing out.

And your right no internet at all would be worse.
Although I would probably get more stuff done around my house.

Hey Milk If you can believe me, I wasn't trying to dig ya about being under 21.
To be honest you act more adult than most folks your age.

Thanks I get that alot. I do have my moments where youth shines through and I do stupid stuff. Ex. buying a brand new jeep with out realizing how long 4 years really is.

Boston is awesome. I just got back about 20 mins ago, I can't wait to move up there, keeping my fingers crossed for january. The ride isn't to bad either from middletown to logan airport in under 2 hours today doing about 80 the whole time. We didn't get to go out to a fancy dinner this time just ruby tuesdays (roomate wanted to come ) I think when I go back in october I am gonna take her to Top of the Hub on the prudential center, one of her roomates was talking it up big time about how her father spoiled her to dinner there last year.

Hello fellow Connecticut wheelers! I've been a member of this forum since before taking delivery of my first Jeep late last year; a Silver X Unlimited six speed, though I have wanted a Jeep since the CJ-7 first came out. This is my first post on this CT thread, though I have been meaning to introduce myself for some time. I must say, that t's exciting to know that there are so many Jeep enthusiasts here in CT and the off road fun isn't limited to those out west. I'm located in the Hartford area and my X is basically stock, for now.

I have a question in that regard: I'm hoping someone can recommend an area shop that can wire auxillary lights for my Jeep. I have mounted a pair of Hella driving lights and KC back up lights to my front and rear bumper and need someone skilled to hook up the wiring with a three way switch. Though I am somewhat competent mecahanically, the wiring diagrams scare me as electrics are not my strength. So rather than risk screwing up my Jeep's electricals, I need to find someone who can do it for me. Thanks any suggestions, and maybe I can join some of you for some wheel'n sometime.

Actually I called my local stealership today, first about the brake recall, then I inquired about the cost of wiring the lights. At first, the service department guy said that wouldn't do it becasue it may void the warranty. Then he said that they probably could, but only with Jeep or Mopar parts. But, then he said that he would have to put me through to the parts department becasue he wasn't sure if they sold lights and wiring harnesses. I said no and hung up dumbfounded, but not surprised.

Running wires is really easy. The hard part is hiding them to make them look clean. I'd be more then happy to give you a hand unless you really want to pay a shop about $40 an hour to I have yet to look at the firewall for an easy pass though but I have seen threads on here for it, I'm sure we could get them done in an afternoon after we find easy pass throughs.

Welcome to the ct thread though and enjoy the party
