No I'm not that person what so ever I try to protect our as much as I can also. Just putting it out there I have had clubs dictate where and when you could go out or if I went out without posting about it I caught nothing but crap for it that's what I'm talking about. Look I'm not trying to bash any clubs everyone on here is a grown up all I'm saying is be carfull that's all before you start paying club fees really look into what kind of club your getting into that's all

 

I agree with being careful and I guess some clubs or maybe certain members may be strict in their views. Which on that case I would stay away from also. The not posting going out is kinda silly as some go impromptu or spur of the moment and not thinking of posting. On the other hand if traveling alone out in our desert or mtns or any off road adventure really it is good practice to let someone know where you are going and how long you plan to be out so if you you don't return due to break down or injury there is a start point for a search. With today's tech it's easy to shoot a text or quick call to anyone and pass the info on. I can not remember how many searches I have been part if over the years but its been a lot. Most turn out well just breakage with no spares and plenty of fluid. Then there are a few that we had no real clue where to start until we got better info.
So the main thing is be responsible and think and one would do well and enjoy being outdoors.

 

Clubs are not for everyone. I would say find a couple and check them out most like to have you make a few runs with them and a meeting or two see if you fit with them and them with you. The plus side is you find and make more wheeling buddies and friends.

 

Couldn't agree more and never go out by yourself I have a group I go out with we just aren't apart of any clubs that's all.

 

Cool. In a way your group is kinda a club. Lol. Happy and safe wheeling. I get the the phx area from time to time to wheel.

Welcome to the forum dave

 

Ok I have no idea where to put my question but here it goes I have an opportunity to get a 96 xj with a 4.5 inch lift manual trans for 500 bucks has a blown head.. buddy will fix for 200..its the two doo this is all I know about it I'm a little iffy on it just sounds to good to be true. Any advice is greatly appreciated

 

You could part it out and make money.....

 

I could buy it from your buddy, looking for an engine block to rebuild.

 

that's my toss up I got my 88 xj now that is bone stock I could buy this one use the tires possibly lift pretty sure the two doors are a couple of inches smaller... or if this ones ac works fix it and keep it and sell mine just afraid the block is cracked

 

2 doors are the same length as 4 doors FWIW.

 

The doors or the Jeep?

 

I'm with you on this thought they arena little smaller not noticeable to the eye Just on the leafs and what not
