Ugh, I wish I could have gone. I was in CT yesterday, too. I'm going skiing tomorrow, otherwise I'd totally be in. Next time, since CT is easy for me.

It'd be nice to have you come out again! How is your truck?

It's fine other than desperately needing new shocks (they rattle like crazy over bumps). I'll be taking care of that in the spring when I get the OME setup. The Duratracs are unbelievable in the snow.

This is big news.

What appears to be unique about Jerico Mountain is that this will be the first time a state has established a park where full-size 4x4's are allowed.

BC from VTjeep mad it very easy

Dear (your legislator here),

My name is (your name here), a member of (your club here) that belongs to the Northeast Association of 4WD Clubs (NEA) and I am writing to register support for HB349 : AN ACT relative to OHRV operation of certain 4-wheel drive vehicles on trails within Jericho Mountain state park.

The NEA is a regional umbrella organization consisting of 27 member clubs representing over 1,200 full size four wheel drive enthusiasts throughout the Northeast. We were founded under the direction of Retired Major Tim Acerno of the NH Fish and Game in 1999 and incorporated within the state of New Hampshire in 2001. We have representation on the NH STAC and involvement in many towns in NH.

The families we serve enjoy the natural beauty that New Hampshire offers and passage of the bill would only help increase tourism related revenue from within our member clubs. Please support HB349.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Sincerely,

(your name and contact info here)

Clear Lenses

I've searched long and hard for this and can't find a straight answer. What is legality of clear turn signals in MA. I want to replace the front bumper turn signals in my '98 with clear lenses.

I am pretty sure as long as the bulb is amber they are ok, or does there need to be a reflector as well? Any help is greatly appreciated.

In my 05 I have clear lenses but the lights are amber. No need for amber lenses!

Problem solved, welcome to the NE BS thread
