I'm actually just outside of Detroit in Warren. About 5 miles east of I75 off 696, if you know where that is. I have it as Detroit because more people are familiar with that.

Where are you located?

I go to Kettering, so half the year I'm in Flint and the other half I'm wherever the hell my co-op decides to send me. I have a fraternity brother who's from Shelby Township that has a really clean MJ. I think he bought it a few years ago with something like 30k miles on it.

Side note, anybody know of a good offroading shop in the area? I really don't have access to a place to do an 8.8 swap, so I think I might have to pay someone to swap it.

Quick google search shows a shop in Fenton called Unlimited Offroad. Pretty close to Flint.

My jeep is currently stock, but that will change in the next couple months. When the time comes, mainly just looking for some fun trails to ride. Nothing crazy and no rocks, since my XJ is my DD.

I'm off of Warren & Outer drive

What clubs are you guys all members of? I'm looking for one right now. I mostly bounce back and forth between Flint and Auburn Hills (quite the difference, I know).
