Just wanted to stop in on the tread and introduce myself to everyone in Maryland. I just moved out to Baltimore from Seattle two weeks ago. And yes I drove my XJ from Seattle, only had one problem on the whole trip, the headlight switch overheated and melted as I pulled into my grandma's house in Denver. (Probably the best place to break down, she has a 14 car garage that my grandfather used to rebuilt cars in.)
As of right now the jeep is not very upgraded, it has a RE 2" budget boost/AAL on it right now, I'm going to get the RC shackle kit and a set of Rusty's 3" Springs in the near future. I will also be getting a new set of tire soon, debating if I should go with a 30 or 31. It is a daily driver so I don't want to kill the mpg. What kind of trails are available out here? I haven't really been able to find anything online.
Hope to meet some of you guys out on the trails soon.

I got Rusty's leaf packs (3.5" or 4.5" not sure; the ad said 4"). They look great. Lots of arch, and they're sturdy. $80 for both. :happydance:
BTW, Mike, these are the springs I didn't think I would get.

Nice Vette, Yellow.
Two quick questions: Does anyone know if Rusty's stamps their springs for identification? They're out in the Jeep and I spent enough time in there for one day lol.
Second question: anyone happen to have the dimensions of any of the Wrangler roll bars? Height, diameter, and width at top and bottom?

Got a speeding ticket last August, 2010 in Newark, and my wife forgot to pay it. To cut a long story short, got pulled over thanksgiving morning 2010 on the way home from work, 2 blocks from the house and ended up being the guests of Delaware State Police for a few hours....
In the short time I lived in Delaware, I got more tickets there than I have my whole life

Nothing in Md as far as wheeling, have to go to Pa for that...
Getting a trip together for Jan 22nd to Rausch Creek.
As far as MPG, it all depends on what gears you are packing in the front/rear. I am running 33's on my ZJ with 3.55's and am getting ready to install a Ford 8.8 w/4.10's My gas mileage is 12.5-13 city, 15 hwy right now...hoping to get it back up to 18 with the swap...
My XJ has 31's w/3.55's and gets 14-15 mpg city. Needs a tuneup though...
