Greenfield has practically nothing, Deerfield and hatfield have the best trails ma wise, my back yard is technically new hampshire so I tend to head that way. Although the one in Deerfield is still my favorite.

with your rc 4.5 lift did you need to run extended brake lines? also did you add the adjustable track bar and steering stabilizer as soon as you lifted it, or did you add them later on?

by the way awesome jeep, came along way from where you started

thanks man, yea both jeeps that i have built in this thread have been hard work n lots of time and money, but i wouldnt change that for the times n friends iv made are irreplaceable.

as for your questions with the 4.5" lift no i did not need too run extended brake lines.. i also didnt trim my fenders so my flex wasnt too insane as tires would hit my fenders.

i added both the steering stabalizer and trac bar withing a month of lifting it bc i had such insane death wobble i couldnt afford not too upgrade right away. a huge part of that tho was my tires being unbalanced but at that time i didnt know that so i may have been able too go longer without upgrading those parts. but when it comes too your steering nvr take the cheap route.
