110 Charlton Rd, Sturbridge, MA 01566

Paypal (paypal@nexterra.org)

Waivers:
All attendees (drivers & passengers) must sign and hand in the NEXTerra waiver (open HERE). Please print it out, sign it, and bring it with you the day of the event

Details:
We will be wheeling on private property that we have access to through the North East Association of 4Wheel Drive Clubs (NEA). Unless you are with NEXTerra or are a member of the NEA, you will be trespassing. All non-NEA attendees must be registered members of NEXTerra and be signed up to attend.

It will be cold, with snow & ice possible - dress appropriately. Gremlin Graveyard also has lots of stumps & potentially mud depending on the season. The run in the dry is stock friendly with several harder obstacles & hill climbs for the modified rigs. Conditions change with the weather & although we will do our best to keep you & your rig from damage, it is possible. Skids & sliders are recommended but not necessary. Make sure your rig has at least one frame mounted recovery point. Airing down will be mandatory for this run (recommend running max at 20psi). There's a gas station near by to air up. Your fellow wheelers may offer you their air-up equipment at their discretion, but do not expect it. Snow & ice make things exponentially difficult (especially ledge & hill climbs)

Shirts:
There will most likely be shirt option, visit back later for details

We’ll be wheeling on private property. As long as you are a registered forum user on Nexterra, pay for the event & sign the waiver - you should be good.

Got a question for everyone, how stock friendly is this? I have 2010 off road, with OME Suspension and BFGs , no aftermarket skids or sliders, would I be ok? Newbies ok? Id love to finally join in on one of these after seeing years of posts and pictures on the forums. I've never done any group wheeling other than with a bunch of friends back when I was 19 lol. TIA

The trails aren’t dirt roads but they aren’t usually difficult either. However with snow & ice, everything become difficult. How difficult is determined by how slippery the hills are.

Does an OME suspension mean that you have more ground clearance than stock? Do you have any stock skids? BFG all terrains I assume? Side steps & mud-flaps removed? No low hanging cosmetic bull bars than hang lower than the front bumper?

Off-roading always has an element of risk. You could always come & if you don’t feel up to it on the trails, park & hop in with someone else so you get to see what it’s like.

I might have gained 2" with OME Suspension and I have step bars and flaps that I would obviously remove (only there now so the kids can get in!) All terrains yes. O do have a reciever hitch. Stock skids still in place.

I know everyone was a noobie once too, just don't want to be that guy that holds everyone up yea know. My 2010 has 173k on it and still looks fairly good, id prefer not to tear it up too bad ya know?

Given that you have stock skids & if you use common sense/listen to your spotter you should be ok.
