Well, I survived my first Jeep gathering. It's a little intimidating being one of the only stock Jeeps there, but I still had fun and met a lot of cool people.
I tried to register for a Trail Ride on the easy trail, but even that trail had minimum requirements of recovery points, and I don't have those, which is something I wish they had put on the advertisements for the event as they said that Trail #1 was stock friendly. I know Wranglers come stock with tow hooks on the bumpers, but my XJ doesn't so that's something I'll be installing in time for next years event.
Here are some photos for anyone who couldn't make it, I forgot to take a pic of the field of vendor tents, they had some cool gear on display. Thanks to Ocean State Jeepsters and Quabog Riders Motorcycle Club in Monson for hosting the event!
found my XJ some parking, dang it, I got some dirt on the tires! lol =)
dirtbike, quad, and off road buggy hill climb was pretty cool!
This XJ had the radest grille ever! 'Murica!

plenty of parking, lots of Wranglers but a good number of XJ's as well!
