We should put together a winter camping trip up here in the mountains of northwestern PA...

 

I like the idea! a wheeling/camping trip?

 

We're did u have in mind?

 

Ok remember everyone that tomorrow is the trip to rausch creek. If anyone else is interested in going that would be awesome. We could plan the winter camping/wheeling trip to

 

x2, where at?

 

I'm not sure of any "wheeling" spots but there is TONS of scenic access roads and lots of places to site see around here.

Check out Kinzua Dam area of Warren County. Zip 16365
There's a LOT of areas to camp up behind the dam near the upper reservoir.

I'm not sure how many would want to do this, but I'm down for a January get together.

Like i said, this will not be any sort of extreme wheeling or anything, mostly scenic roads, and depending on the snow, the challenge rates from a dirt road to an ice and snow covered adventure.

 

Hey if any of you guys end up in the Lehigh Valley (Pa) keep a close eye on your Xj. Somebody tried to steal mine today while I was in the doctors office in Allentown.

 

no kidding...did you get a look at him?

 

Only got to see the back of him. Chased him until I saw a gun

 

oh snap! allentown gettin rough these days eh

 

Allentown's a crap hole anymore to be honest. People getting killed for pocket change, elderly people being beaten by teens and left in the street, stabbings in the schools pretty much monthly..... it's freakin' ridiculous.

 

Yeah, I'd have to go ahead and let him go when a gun is displayed... lol

 

dang i just drove up to hamburg today from harrisburg...got some girls number at wendys...how far is allentown from cabelas?

 

No idea. Sadly never been to cabelas.

Especially around here. These idiots will shoot you for a flippin' Snickers bar. No respect for human life

 

Anyone in the northwestern area of PA have a tube bender and want to get creative?

I'm a big fan of the ORF winch bumper for the XJ, but for the price... ehhh...
I was hoping someone has a bender and I could make something custom similar to this without a direct ripoff of their design.
I bought some bumper mounts and can build a boxed in plate for the winch to sit in, but would need an assist with the tube bending to form the outsides and hoop.

Here's a ballpark of what I want it to look like on the Jeep: (this jeep is for sale in the FS section btw, I just borrowed his pic and uploaded it to my photobucket for reference)
