[Liza]

Sorry guys that we (Bay State Off Road) have been slow on the uptake in getting another wrench session going...Bob broke his ankle right after Thanksgiving and hasn't been able to work since. Once he's up and going again at the shop, we'll schedule another day.

We patiently await Bob's healing bones.

We will have a date for the next phase of work, coming soon!

April 5th is fine Bob, make it so.

NEA4WDC
Access-4-All Vehicle

The Northeast Association of 4WD Clubs is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and promoting legal and environmentally responsible off-highway vehicle recreation, while maintaining a harmonious relationship between OHV enthusiasts and landowners. We accomplish this through supporting and educating government agencies, our own member clubs, private landowners, and the general public.

Recently the Association released details of the launch of their signature Access-4-All Program. The program will help provide access to those who might not be able to access the outdoors with the help of a 4WD vehicle. The Association has been working on a Jeep Cherokee to make the necessary modifications in order to bring it to events and eventually use it for the intended purpose of bringing people into the back country.

Over the past year the Access-4-All Vehicle, with the help of volunteers and most importantly Baystate Off-Road in Middleboro MA, has received a complete mechanical upgrade, a lift kit (donated by Domenic's Auto and Jeep in Hampstead NH), a front backbone system installed, and new differential covers. The next phase of the build will be held on April 5th from 10am to 4pm at Baystate Off-Road, 15R Spruce Street, Unit #5 Middleboro, MA 02346. The goal is to install the TC drop, SYE and drive shaft, frame stiffeners, trim fenders, and plan the next steps.

As funds and materials become available, our goals for the vehicle will be to install new gears and lockers in the axles, add body protection and skids, and install a roll cage and a front winch.

[Ian]

[Axle]

Good, I don't have pics, but someone does. I will find them and post them.SYE is in, cv shaft, 33"s are on, fenders are trimmed and frame stiffeners are welded in. We also raised some money with burgers, dogs and beer.

[Mitch]

how is this project developing?

[Axle]

The A4A XJ is going to Endangered species for gears lockers and a cage. They will be doing the work for us, and as far as I know, we don't need volunteers. If we do, I'll post it. There will be a new project manager, since the jeep is primarily in NH and I am in RI. Thanks for asking Mitch!

Hey Halloween is tomorrow Mitch, better day to bring something back from the dead 


Good to hear Bob, thanks for you hard work... thing must be plastered in NEJ  stickers by now 

[Axle]

Hahaha  When I had it, I had no stickers. Now I have the stickers, but the jeep is in NH.

Is there an desired completion date of this project?  Any recent pics?  Just curious as It looks to be a really cool project to be involved with and for a really great cause.  I would definately be interested in helping in any way I could.  I will watch this post for updates and can't wait to see pics of it wheeling and the smiles it will bring many.
