 Tell us about the mods you have made.
Take a Rubicon, Add 3.5" of RE/JKS/CURRIE/OME lift and some 305/75/16 Goodyear MT/R's. Bolt on an ARB Bumper with 9.5ti winch, AEV Rock Rails and a BPI Fab Rear Tire Carrier. Toss in a couple of skidplates and some other small stuff like Alloy USA axle shafts and you get my jeep...
Tell us about the mods you hope to make in the future. "Phase 1" is complete. "Phase 2", which includes a BL, MML, Flat Tcase Skid and Gas Tank skid, along with 35's will happen sometime soonish... maybe not until I can really justify spending all that money on re-gearing...How long have you been a member of Baystate?
I joined at the end of 1998, just after it was started.How long have you been offroading? I started beating on a 4-Cyl YJ back in 1995. Went on my first jeep jamboree in '96 or '97 with Pat!Is this your first jeep? This is my fourth. YJ-TJ-XJ-TJ - but hopefully my last  |

I am going to definitely get some sway bar quick disconnects before the next ride. ;D After that I might beef up the steering components and upgrade any other weak links, maybe some skid plate protection too. How long have you been a member of Baystate? Just joined.How long have you been offroading? I did a little offroading back in 1990-1992 with a Bronco II, but nothing really serious.Is this your first jeep? Yep, I have always wanted one, and now I have one. |

I am taking an auto tech class and need projects.How long have you been a member of Baystate? couple of weeksHow long have you been offroading? Went twice in my XJ and once with you folks in my TJ. Does mountain biking count?Is this your first jeep? My first wrangler but not my last. I also have an XJ. |

Hi All, The name here is Roger and this is my Jeep, a 2003 Rubi. I believe Keven here is the jeeper that introduced me to rock crawling. Correct me if I wrong Keven, I wasn't sure of the last name. (CrazyK I think) This is just after I finished the install of my lift and Airock.  First real wheeling trip with Keven. whoops!  A trip more recent with a club I used to belong to.  This is my web-page of stuff I've done to the Jeep and some trips. www.cardomain.com/memberpage/703813I am not currently a member of Baystate but looking for a new club. I have owned a lot of Jeeps over the years but did not have the opportunity to modify them so I kinda took it out on Rubi. Telling my age here but my first Jeep was a brand spanky new CJ7. 80 something. I put a plow on it and was stolen before I got to use it. There are some more but wont bore you with it. Now I have gotten the bug to make my own parts and have added tools for this, Couple of welders, tube bender, cutting tools and such. Who knows what I will do to her now ;D Thanks for letting me share. Roger. |
