if diesel that would be my friend Aaron, he lives up in Norwich and commutes to New London everyday for work. There is another tan diesel rover in new london. These things have a cult like following, I've been keeping track of the rovers in this area for years and have a small club going. For example, Jim, I've wheeled with your truck before up in vermont with it's previous owner:  
it looked a bit different then, but i like what you've done with it!

when is the next trail ride? I head back to school (in nebraska) mid august, so hopefully I can meet up with you all before then!

Hey guys it's Mitch, I know a lot of you have met me but if not I'm Mitch Watson I currently have an f150 with an sas, locked, long armed and more, which at this point I'm actually trying to trade off or use as to start to a smaller bodied project but for the time being, I'll still wheel it.

Heres the f150. Sorry if the picture is a little big.

Hello to all. I go by Eddie and I found the forum by searching around and contacted Mr Rock for access. I moved to the Groton, CT area back in July and I am attending a 6 month school here. So I leave in December but hope that I can get out there with some of you and do some responsible off-roading here in CT. I did do some research and it appears that CT is pretty strict so very curious what people do around here.

I have been in the Navy for 19 years and moved here from NM. That is where I bought my 2012 JKUR and was able to do some off-roading out west before moving. He has a few upgrades and I will attempt to upload a photo, wish me luck.

My weekends are normally pretty open so let me know of any events or meet ups so I can get out and see the state. Look forward to meeting some of you and thanks.

Hi Eddie, welcome to the board. Look forward to meeting you.

Sorry I haven't been on the site in a couple of weeks. Very busy at work and dealing with other stuff. Looking forward to some potential fall rides.

It was good talking to you today. I am considering making some arrangements to do the Rausch Creek run. I can't remember if you said you were going. If I get a chance this week I will swing by your office.

Hi All,

My names Doug. I’ve lived in CT for about 20 years. I found the club from jeepforum.com, looking for some opportunities to do some wheeling and meet like-minded people.

I have a 98 TJ, which I’ve had for about 6 months now. It’s my first ”offroad” vehicle. It’s just a 4 banger with a semi-crappy lift 33’s and stock axles. I’m in the process of building a D44 and HP D30 to replace the D35 & D30. The D44 is done and I’ve got the HP35 torn down, parts on hand and just need to work myself up for tackling another R&P install. The D44 took me 2 weeks to get dialed in.

I’ve been into cars pretty much my whole life and mostly into muscle cars, but I‘m having a blast working on and wheeling in the jeep.

I’ve only ever gone on 2 serious trail runs, both this fall. One at OFR and the other at MaBell with the PatriotJeepers group out of Mass.

Had a real interesting experience at OFR when another Tj running 35’s on his locked D35 busted and axle shaft. We Macgyvered a frame around the busted wheel so he could drive out.





that's my intro, hope I didn't put anyone to sleep. :)

thanks, I live in East Hampton.

in case I wasn't clear, that wasn't my tj with the busted axle. I do realize I've got a ticking timebomb until I swap in the 44.

This is my TJ (and daughter)
