Hey All,

Been registered here for a bit but finally decided to come out of my shell to say hello!
Just started to outfit the TB to do some mild offroading. Not too many places around here (Westchester County) to go within in short driving distance unfortunately. Definitely looking to connect with people in the area to learn from. Into camping also (all seasons).

Welcome! I'm about a 45 minute drive from you, perhaps one day once you get your TB all lifted and ready for some pretty fun trails you can come with me on a day ride.

haha nooooo there aren't any places around here to camp and wheel...unless you feel like ruining the local camp grounds. There are two spots in the brewster, NY and Croton Falls, NY area both of which you can spend the whole day exploring new trails...and I don't share tents...unless its with chicks haha :finger:

Already lifted - Mark's 3inch lift with 265/70/17 General Grabbers. Don't have anything yet in the way of safety/extraction so definitely best to tag along with someone else. Reading through your trip reports is actually what got me to stop lurking...glad you saw this!

No need to worry about extraction equipment, i'm pretty much all set up on that with my winch and a few recovery straps. Glad to hear your already lifted, I just have a few mods i'm trying to do before the next time I go out, but finding the time to work on the truck is getting harder now that i got a second job. I'll PM you next time me and my buddies are planning a day outing.
