Sounds like I plan, since Racer is down the road from me, we will meet up and head over twoards your area. I wish I could get a CB, in time, so far I just can get a scanner from my friend so I can listen in. I do have 5 FRS radios though.

1pm works for me, 
I made a deal with 2k2wrangler (Ryan) and Im getting his winch and bumper
So once we get ther Ill more than likely be wrenching for a few hours. I dont know if you guys do any drinking, but there is a bar called "Mustangs" not too far from RC that we might go to Friday night.
And Vinny, if you end up letting anyone use your radios, write down their names or something because you will more than likely forget who you lent them to (dont ask me how I know)..
Also, Im more than likely going to be guiding a trail on Saturday, and its going to be pretty easy trails.. Heres some pics of them. If they look somewhat like the difficulty rating your interedted in doing, it would be cool if we could stick together.

heres a video from a different day but of mostly the same trails (minus the trails with the rushing water where the red rock JK got stuck and where the rescue green jk hits the tree, those are a bit harder than what i want to run)

as long as you still have the skids your JK came with, then your good to go. I also have open diffs they werent a problem at all. The JK's are very good with open diffs.
The only added protection I have is the enhanced mopar rails, but they never hit anything.. IF you have the side steps I would advise you remove them, I ruined a set my first trip out to Rausch Creek (they hang rather low)

Unfortunately, my bumper is part of the deal for the setup im getting.
you know whats sucks about Long Island... finding a store that sells CB's..
too bad Best Buy doesnt sell handhelds, buy it, use it for the weekend, then return it.
I searched hi and low before I bought mine on the internet. I ended up getting the Midland 75-822 its a handheld but can be used in a permanent installation and it comes with everything you need to make it permenent minus the antenna. It works well as a handheld for wheeling.
