bay area!!!
hey guys [and hopefully girls..??]
after many years of looking and pondering, i finally bought a 2001 cherokee sport. its stock now, straight 6, 120,000 miles, but its in good shape, and doesnt look like its even ever been in the dirt, so i figure it will be a good foundation.
:]
i know a decent amount about mechanical issues on trucks in general, but im not super familiar with jeeps, so i hope to learn some things from this forum.
also, id love to meet with some people or clubs in the bay area [CA] to maybe go on some trips with.
Im a welder, and i have a access to a full machine shop, so if i get time ill hopefully be doing some fun custom mods, and ill be sure to post as much info/pics if anyone else wants to do the same mod.
nice to meet everyone, and nice to finally have my own xj.

Welcome from Oakland. Where in the bay area are you located? It's probably too far out of the way but I know theres a bunch of OHV trails up near Downieville, CA. I've never been wheeling up there, but I go mountain biking there over the summer and the trails look pretty fun.
