Good morning Alex! Where is your avatar picture taken? Looks like a great place!
Hi Fred! That’s the view from Huckleberry Point, with Plattekill, Indian Head and Twin Mountains in the background.
A great little hike if you haven’t tried it yet. Only about 2 1/2 hours round trip, with those beautiful vistas at the top (plus the Hudson River, which you don’t really see in this pic).

I don't drink coffee. Try to get enough sleep. Nerd, yes. Any other questions just let me know. :)

Sorry, no. I never developed a taste for coffee. I love the smell but that's as far as it goes.

Looks great! Does the antenna bounce back and forth and it anything?
It hasn’t yet but I have a 3’ firestik mounted on my tailgate reinforcement kit. It does just bump my garage so I’m putting on a quick disconnect because I’ll probably only use it on the trails.

+ anyone within Jeeping distance of the Catskills!

I’ve never actually attended Oktoberfest at Hunter Mountain, but I just signed up for their “Color in the Catskills: Off-road Edition”. Looks like a nice and easy 1-hour drive to admire Fall colors from the top of the mountain with other 4x4-minded people. If anyone feels like joining and maybe grab a :beer: afterwards, I registered for the 1 PM slot on Sunday 9/30.

That looks so awesome! Damn I love me some fall foliage! I’m so ready for fall!!!! If it wasn’t 4 hours each way on a Sunday, I’d be all over that.

A couple more pictures with the disconnect...

Thanks @CatskillsAlex , I will put it on my list!

Awesome, thank you so much Tom!

First things first: your JLR looks awesome, so I’m glad to see more shots. This Hella Yella is so bright and sunny, it just makes you want to get out and play! :sun: :like:

Secondly, this is very helpful. My JLR is Sting Gray, and the combination of this cool-but-stern color with the aggressive stance of a Rubicon means that it already has a pretty bold look. I was concerned that adding sliders would make it look a little too mean/aggressive for me to pull off, but after seeing your pics I’m no longer worried about it. The proportions work nicely.

I’ll wait a few weeks to decide as I’ve only used my JLR for one week so far, but either way your pics will make it easier. Thanks!
It will look awesome with the sliders, I say go for it!
