This vehicle currently has 120K, and I'm going to keep it going for another 10yrs. I do 98% of all work on my X (I don't like anyone working on my vehicles while I'm not around). The shop gets my x for transmission flushes and alignments the rest is me. If anyone needs help or assistance with first gens just ask...

Brockton! HAHAHAHA!!! How do you like "Broxbury?" One of my friends used to call it that to compare it to Roxbury. My mom lives in Stoughton and I make frequent trips down there. You and I could easily hook up!!

Its not so much the long drive to Maine as it the distance.. I mean who wants to drive 150+ miles to go hard wheeling and take a chance stuff won't break. If my X was bomb proof then fine, but in its slightly modified state I would be limited to easy trails..

Robbins1677 - Have you every gotten stuck or broken down? What about vehicle recovery? I just have a bad feeling that I'm far from home and my X has a trany failure in the middle of nowhere...I then have to shell out major $$$ to have my vehicle recovered...

I have broken down many a time on the trails here in maine. But there is always someone near by who is willing to give ya a hand. Most mainers look to help people get unstuck or fix a problem, its just as fun to as a the actual wheeling sometime. And its always worth the drive for the experiece and the sites that you get while wheeling here in maine. there is nothing else like it.

im going on a run too brookline NH next sunday (october 31st) with a couple of my buddies, and was wondering if anyone wanted to join. brookline is about a 20 minute drive from nahsua, or an hour from worcester. if anyone wants to come do a full day of light to moderate off roading, let me know. stock vehicles are welcome, as its not too hard. instant message me at FourXFred

 

[MontanaGT]

I don't know why I haven't posted here yet but I'm in West Springfield, MA. Neighbor to:

Springfield, MA: Home of the Basketball Hall of Fame
Holyoke, MA: Birthplace of Volleyball & Home of the Volleyball Hall of Fame (Ya, I never new there was one either.)

FourXFred: I'm tempted to go wheelin' but it's a little far for me. I notice you live in Lowell now. As in U-Mass Lowell? Go River Hawks! I'm from the Class of '92.

 

[izackary]

Fred: I thought it was illegal to wheel in NH. If I get time off I might be able to sneak down, but no promises.

Scormunch: Don't forget Matt! (FordExplorer157) He lives in Essex Jct, I believe, near Burlington, in Vermont. Gary (Rx4phun) is actually from CT, but has gone to school in VT and makes trips here.

 

[Rx4phun]

I am in Connecticut now until probably June but I am still go up to Burlington once a month or so. If this is all legal it sounds good
Gary

 

[FourXFred]

izackary: nope, not here. i think its private land that the owner lets us wheel on or something, i asked and was wrong about it begin state land. but it is definitely legal. so come wheel with us.

Dude! Which is it? Sunday? Or the 31st? Halloween is on Friday. Make up your mind!!

 

[FourXFred]

hehehe. ummm, let me look at the calendar. its sunday, but its novemver second. my bad!

 

[izackary]

ok. sunday is easier than friday. i'll see what i'm doing then, and if i have my "new" tires on by then. They're a generic mud/studdable snow tire, but they dig a hel of a lot better than my balding (and leaking) coopers i have now. they're old and one has a screw stuck in it, and one that my spare has replaced, caught a 5-inch jagged nail. I have your cell number, Fred, so if i can do it, i'll call ya and ask how to get there.

I'm from Saco, ME. I've got a stock '00, so I don't plan on hittin' the trails anytime soon, but I can't wait for some decent snow!

Plowed in your Driveway/Parking spot? No Problem!

Driveway/Parking Lot not plowed? No Problem!

Camp road not plowed all winter? No Problem!

Want to create your own parking space in a snow drift? No problem!

After two winters drving a Kia, I'm glad to have something that wont get stuck pulling out of my driveway (its got a slight grade) with a little ice/snow on it.

Saco!! "Come see me, Jolly John, on Route 1 in Saco!!" I used to get channel 8 when i was a kid and they used to broadcast off Mt Washington. We always had fun with him, and Marty on the Mountain.
