Hey I'm Tom, I'm not Exactlu a resident.... But my family did just purchase a vacation house in Wilmington .... I've got a red 94 5sp xj on 4" and 33"tires, and in about 3 weeks I'll be at 6.5 longarm. I'm curious if there is any good trails out there? I kinda wanna find a club because ican only imagine with the amount of tree huggers there, good wheelin spots are jar to find?

Hey guys. I go to college in Vermont so I guess that makes me a resident. I am in Poultney, south of rutland. I have a 2001 with 4.5 inch lift bumpers, sliders, winch, rack, and 31's. I am definitely up for some wheeling. There is MORE Park which is in New York, just over the border. Hopefully we can all meet up and wheel.

Im running the RC x-series 4.5 lift and 33x12.5 BFG alt. I still have room for a shackle and spacer or taller coil up front. If you dont have one yet i have a spare transfer drop case kit. I dont know why RC gave me two, but i figured id keep it around
