Hey gang, Chris from Wynantskill, NY here. New to the forum. Recently sold my faithful 95 Suburban and downsized to a very nice 03 TB with 111k. Getting ready to do the usual mods including lift kit, spacers, shocks and tires.

Great forum btw!

Any members near Albany, NY?

Welcome! You have some active aggressively-lifted members in the other New England states as well. I grew up in the Berkshires just over the border, but moved from Mass a long time ago when job opportunities for me moved westward.

Wow! Good to see some people close. Going to be planning a day at Matawee some time in late June early July. Maybe many days, LOL.

I am from NY, my parents are up near Syracuse and my sister has been in Albany for 10 years or so now. Im only a couple hours away myself. Let me know if you want to do some runs. North East Overland Rally and Workshop is every fall up in VT and should only be a short trip for you if you are interested.

I've talked to a few guys about mettowee, I'm sure I'll head up there this summer for a few days. I know a lot of us would be interested in meeting up for a few days for some wheeling and camping.
