Newb owner checking in! I recently picked up a 97 XJ SE in trade for a 97 Ford Ranger XLT. The XJ has 250k on the odo and seems to have been a service vehicle of some sort due to the holes and plugs in the body that would indicate radio and lighting equipment installation. Its pretty ragged and is just a "fix only whats broke" DD. This is my 1st Jeep (although I've always wanted one) and I'm already eyeballing my second (2001 sport with only 123k) so I can pass this one down to my 16yr old step-son. The 2001 will become my official money pit...lol.

I'm from Nevada (neh-vay-da) Ohio in Wyandot County and love off-road woodsy type stuff as I also trail ride a quad and camp as often as I can.

I see some recent discussion about Wellsville and I am also quite sad to see it go as it was one of my favorite ATV spots. I actually have a video on youtube of me shooting a dozer track hill out by where the lookout was. Search for videos posted by mitsumerlin and you should be able to find it.

Anyhoo...glad to be here and hope to be a jeeper for life from here on out.

I didn't mean to imply that I think Wells is closed by any means. I've heard so many different angles to the story that its almost mind boggling. But...its future isn't exactly certain one way or the other and for no more often than I get down there, I'm afraid it will be by the next time I want to go.
