Hey Everybody, John here from Rome, NY.

Been a ranger guy for about 15 years, but the family is growing and it's hard to stuff everybody in a pickup to go play. Have had explorers before, but must admit they leave a little to be desired.

so here i am. on the market for an xj, and am sooo glad i found this forum. so much good info and friendly, helpful people.

i think i'm going to enjoy being a Jeep guy.

 

John,
Welcome, I'm new to this forum also, but have had 5 jeeps. Once you get one you'll always have one. Enjoy.

 

welcome guys, lets see some jeeps! : )

 

Entering into the Jeep world is a very additicting thing to do..... ah, but once your here, you'll wonder what took you so long to arrive.... enjoy the experience.......... Mike

I finally found her!



some slight body issues here and there, but with some TLC she's going to be perfect!

first things that I want to do (in no particular order):

Interior needs a super cleaning!
replace black rtv mess around windshield with a real windshield seal.
replace lights screwed to the luggage rack with a legitimate light bar. (full roof rack would be awesome! but out of price range for a while)
SYE
re-gear
some body work
replace AAL's with full spring packs (not saggy yet)

 

If your ever in the Rochester area hit me up

 

will do! and same to you if you ever find yourself out here in Rome. I do occasionally get out to Rochester for R/C car racing.

btw, i was born in Rochester! lived there til i was about 7 years old. that was a loooong time ago though! lol.
