hit up the guys at cnyjeep.org . pretty good people, and they have quite a few trail rides. they also have about 3 or 4 members with rangers. i was a member until i moved to nc from binghamton, ny. just dont ruin trails or act retarded and they wont scold you, lol. look for a trail ride posting and ask if its ok you join. i know paul (cant remember his screen name) is on here as well.

 

[Kyle G]

yea, i was thinkn bout it, i was actually just at a king of trucks event and they set up the course i was on at the show, i could give it a try but i deff aint puttin a sticker that says cnyjeep on my truck haha, besides my windshield already says danger ranger, i just assumed they were jeep only like alot of groups out here

 

[pillen140]

lol, yeah, no jeep stickers please. you dont have to put one on, lol. you actually have to pay for one if you want it. expect minor ball busting for driving a ford in a jeep club, but just roll with it for a while before you start throwing back jeep jokes... let them get to know you first! lol.

 

[Kyle G]

yea a buddy of mine has a cherokee n i put one of those pink "silly boys jeeps are for girls" stickers on it lmfao, it was there for a week before he noticed, but yea as far as ruinin the trails im not sure wat u mean, like throwin trash around? dont get me wrong im nvr buyin a prius but i still respect the outdoors, im jus not sure id fit n well wit the jeep crowd i might b a lil too rough lol

 

[pillen140]

they're huge on anti trespassing and the tread lightly philosophy, which they should be.
