Newbie!
Hey guys/gals, I am new not only to the forum but also to jeep. I just picked up a 2000 xj. It's not perfect but I like it. I use to have a 87 k5 loved that thing and it did great on the trail except for one thing. The size. I went with a my buddies that have cjs and tjs to the Uwharrie mountains in NC it did awesome until we hit the tight trails. My body was popping and bowing like nothing I have ever seen. The jeeps just cruised down this moderate trail and I had to work to get down it this trail was tight for the k5. From that point on I had a little bug in my ear regarding size. I love the k5s more so the first gen. How ever I new I was relocating to Beaverton, Oregon. So I let go of he beast and figured I would try something else and came home with the xj, room for the daughter wife and two boxers plus some gear. Not bad. Not to mention smaller! So here I am just got to Oregon about a week ago. I put some pictures up soon we don't have internet yet. Feel free to ask me anything. Heads up I am sorry now for the newb questions.
