Hello from New Guy, South Eastern PA

Hey everyone, Been lurking for awhile, finally decided to introduce myself...so far have picked up some great tips, like how to fix my driver door hinge, replacing the idiot light gauges with a needle gauge cluster (bought through a member on this forum!), leaking transmission cooling hard lines replaced with fuel line hose, etc. Tons of ideas! As my login states, I have a 95 XJ, had it for a couple of years(my 5th XJ!). Initially just drove it (has 108k on it) started having cooling issues, replaced the radiator, water pump, thermostat....replaced my old steel wheels w/newer stock wheels bought through Craig's list, put in a wally world stereo, amp & speakers w/sub (using cubby hole in the back - and the enclosure build-up on this forum) Resurrected my AC by using a stop leak, then recharging....just today replaced my exhaust from the manifold pipe back - used a walker catalytic converter (from Quadratec)and the Dyno Max Super Turbo Cat Back system (from Summit Racing) I am real happy with how easy it was to install once I broke out the sawzall and dremel, the mellow sound and the noiseless idle...Future plans include a 4.5 inch lift from Rusty's Off Road with 31X10.5 wheels/tires and a rear bumper w/tire carrier from Detours...Thanks for having a great forum and looking forward to hearing from all of you.https://www.cherokeeforum.com/images/smilies/sailor.gif

Thanks all! Looking forward to picking brains once I get deeper into the mechanics. Also looking for trails in my area or within a reasonable drive. Any recommendations for a newb off roader? Rausch Creek Off Road Park is 2 hours NW. Hoping to find something similar a little closer with overnight camping...
