Forums are a great source for reference and knowledge. I usually can read and apply knowledge gained from forums but i know sometimes its hard to follow written instructions with out actually being able to see it. We could help each other out by sharing knowledge and experience.

Also i have noticed that connections are the way to get through life a little easier. Say you dont have a welder but someone else in the club does, He could let you use it or weld it for you. The same could be said if you had a skill or tool that he needed, you could help him out. This also applies to parts. One mans junk is another mans treasure. Maybe something you dont want or need anymore someone wants. Having a collection of people that drive the same thing makes sorcing parts alot easier.

Having someone to appreciate your work. I build most of my own stuff and am really proud of it. I make it a point to take my wife out to show it to her and blahhh, SHe doesnt care. I would like to show my work to people who would appreciate it.

Having someone/somewhere to wheel with/at. I am always looking for someone to go wheel with. Being in a club pretty much will make sure you will always have someone to wheel with. Sourcing new places to wheel is always nice. I personally do not have many places to go wheel but always want more.

We have 3 members working out of my shop. 3 prospects that will be parcially working out of my shop. and 2 prospects out of bloomfield. I am wanting to increase this greatly. Let me know if you are interested

i need............... hopefully just a transfer case. if not auto tranny. i have a 87 2-door xj i'm willing to get rid of. it has the 2.5 4 cylinder with 5 speed tranny. does not have rear end tho. came with stock black interior i was ganna put in my jeep but decided not to. and thats already all pulled out. and no transfer case on it any more. it had the pos t-case np228 or np229 in it i can't remember.

 

hang out in a shop and drink beer huh who does that

 

i try not to drink in my shop because last time i did that i got this sweet idea to drive my stock s-10 blazer on to the rock in my front yard and well it didn't turn out so good. lets just say it ended up its side.

 

for t-cases right not i have 2 231s pulled. one is a 94 the other is a 91. i have 3 trannies pulled. 91,92, 94. i am having a hard time finding running gear for earlier stuff though

 

i drink at home all by myself becouse i can lol

 

what would u want for 1 of those t-cases. i'm just ganna prey to the xj god's thats all thats messed up.

 

if my jeep was running i'd be down at your shop everyday helping u with what ever need to be helped with.

 

i normally take 75 for one. members would be 50. i dont think they would work for ya though. pre 91 had 21 spline out put shafts on tranny, post had 23. i think both of mine are 23.

 

i haven't read or herd anything about the different spline count.
