When?
I updated the original post, it's Sept 21st.

How many rigs can fit on the group site? It looks like I can make the member ride but might need to book my own site if my truck with camper doesn't fit. As of now the site next to the group site is available.
deadfeat is best for this question... But, here's a photo I took last year, I believe there were 2 power hookups (one by the tire tracks, one on the right corner of the pavilion) but room for probably 4 trailered rigs plus several more vehicles. The tire tracks are from Andy's bus, everything from the pavilion to the 146 sign should be our site.

I have a tuffy console.
does it have the radio compartment? It can be a little hard to read the display there but might let the radio last longer.

I need something that can get wet. I"ve been through 2 or 3 radios. Actually thinking of something I can just hook an IPOD or play Pandora through.
I sold a lot of Sony marine stereos at Quadratec, but the reviews on the current models seem to be hit and miss as to their moisture protections. The Tuffy consoles have an option for a stereo, it's intended to prevent theft but they do a decent job of keeping them dry too. Of course, that's $300 to mount a $80 headunit. https://www.quadratec.com/products/14026_XX_PG.htm

Welcome back! Happy to see another TJ in the club, rust has killed too many of those. As you can tell, the forum has gotten a bit slow thanks to Facebook, but we're trying to bring some life back here this year.

Location update: Grottos of Middletown
-
Oh I forgot about that! Hehe well, I'm in the same boat, currently with my 2nd round-headlight Jeep.
-
I guess you've left the Dark Side, eh?
I'll see myself out. -
lol yes it’s a jk, I like them for the bigger screen option. But I saw the reviews, and apparently the wiring install is horrible. But she doesn’t want to upgrade jeeps, but she needs sound and a back up camera. Was hoping an all in one kit would be easier to deal with. thank you for the info sir!
The wiring itself isn't a big problem unless you ordered a kit without the plug-n-play adapters, but tearing the dash apart is a pain! lol I tore my JK apart a few times to replace my base-model radio with the 730-series touch screen radio, add a mic for the phone, add a remote start kit, etc. The Stinger kit has decent instructions with their plug-n-play kit though, https://www.quadratec.com/p/st…ver-wrangler-jk-rb10jk11b

Welcome aboard! The events forum has the tentative club calendar and info on upcoming rides and events here- Trail Runs and Gatherings Currently, I believe the first "official" club trail ride is in May but there should be others before that.
-
The Stinger radios have a lot of fans, there have been a few bad reviews but I think generally positive. Good sound output and a nice upgrade over any of the stock systems (assuming this is a JK).

Anybody here planning any cool longer-distance wheeling trips this year?
My wife and I are planning to go out to Colorado and Utah again, might do something in VA as well if we can figure out timing.I've gone out west for wheeling/sight-seeing trips 7 times since 2013, but last year's trip got ruined thanks to multiple mechanical failures.
I'll post about that later, but for now, here are a few photos from this past September. -
Depending on your setup, you might be able to temporarily add plastic garden edging to your flares to extend them, that's quick and cheap if you're lucky. Alternatively, some folks look for used tires/wheels small enough to pass inspection and either re-sell them or store them for next time.

Welcome aboard! There are a ton of lift options to fit 35s, I just had a 2.5" lift for my JK but a 3.5" kit does have a cooler look (longer install too). Club members are on the beach every weekend and random weekdays but we do have a couple scheduled get-togethers on the sand. The club officially prefers the Navy Crossing at Cape Henlopen since we have adopted the northern section of that but the sand conditions were pretty rough last year.
Friendly note, the ducks are very controversial, expect a lot of ribbing. lol

Wow, that's a crazy backlog, what are you doing for water?
Happy New Year!
