The problem with westfield is that the top can only fit a handful of Jeeps.

On the way down there can be a tricky spot where 1 might roll depending on the angle they take. Not super bad if you spot well.
Dam that sounds like more fun. On a different note. For any of you guys that are new and unfamiliar with wheeling. I would HIGHLY recommend attending a Jeep Jamboree. You will be amazed at the stuff you can take your truck through. But, pinstripping is almost garanteed on any trail rated higher than a 4.

Don't worry... it will buff out.

That would be great, theres only a couple nasty spots ones optional but i think everyone should at least try it if you have some tires and a little lift.

If you guys think that my stock JK can handle the Westfield run, I'd realy like to join up on the 8th. It's a little closer than Tolland for me, too. I've only taken the Jeep off-road once, so I'm really pumped about the chance.

Sounds cool to me, my main problem is that I'm going to the Cheech & Chong show at the old Oakdale theater on the 7th so I may need that Saturday to find my brain

Either location works, my only possible hurdle is the time; what time we would meet?

I know the 15 setup is cheaper. But, it isn't worth the hassle. Blow the extra coin for the 16's and you won't have any problems. Hell.. I need 37's.. come buy mine... lol
