Hi all!

I just bought a 1995 cherokee country with 218k miles. It's in great shape for the year and mileage. I bought it for my DD and to have a bit of offroad fun. I have been driving my 2006 corvette convertible daily since I totaled my husband's trailblazer SS in Jan 2009 and I just needed/wanted something to get the vette off the road every day. I owned a 96 cherokee a while back and loved it so I wanted another one.

I want to get out in the woods with it! The engine runs good and everything seems ok except today it started overheating and it turns out that there is a puddle of anti freeze in the driveway where I left it parked last night. I bought this from a member of a local motorcycle forum that I frequent so I took his word for everything he said about it. I sure hope I didn't make a mistake.

My hubby is the manager of auto zone so he's gonna buy a new thermostat and gasket for it today and hopefully that will take care of it. He'll flush it all out tonight too. Cross your fingers that that's all it needs! I really love it already! I've so missed having a toy to take offroad!

About me: I work at a large local credit union as VP member services. In short, I'm over all of our branches and responsible for the entire retail operation. blah blah blah.......

Mainly I just enjoy life! I have a 2008 GSXR 750 that I absolutely LOVE! I am addicted to riding so the jeep will probably be a secondary hobby to that. I have 2 siberian huskies and a rat terrier that are my babies, along with one cat that can beat up all of the dogs!

I'm just an easy going person that enjoys life and being around friends.

Oh, and recently I've really gotten into weaving! That's probably weird for all you guys, but it's really fun! Let me know if you need a scarf or sumpin!

So...............HI YA'LL!!!

 

Hello from Georgia and welcome to the board. Enjoy your stay and don't be afraid to ask question. This place is full of people with solutions to any problem.

 

 

thanks! I won't be afraid to ask!

hi! Dandridge isn't far from me! woo hoo! I bought my jeep from a guy in Sevierville!

 

That's cool. Post some pics when/if you can.

 

I'll try to get pics of the jeep soon. It's white with the usual 1995 dents/scratches and I love it!

I just posted pics in off topic on the "post pics of you and your significant other thread."

 

Welcome from another fellow Tennessean a little to the west of ya.

 

Welcome to CF.

You should give hubby the Vette.. it's only fair.

 

hi!

meh, he had a 1970 that he did a frame off restoration on. He put a whatever whatever engine in it that dyno'd at 718 hp. He wrecked it and totaled it. Now I have a 2008 gixxer 750 and he has a 2008 hayabusa with part of the insurance check! (and our insurance company hates us after him totalling a $70k vette and me totalling an 06 Trailblazer SS. ...just one more reason to have older vehicles that are paid for and only need liability insurance!)

I have been thinking about selling the vette...............

Oh, and when you said CF I automatically thought "corveteforum." I don't even open that forum anymore!

 

-.- why cant i ever find the ladies like this??

so jealous you are THAT close to the gap as well. I have been there twice and wrecked once.. in a parking lot first was on my favorite bike ive owned, a 2002 gix750, the second was on my 06 750 with 30 day tags. lol

hi from one newb to the other!

 

hi noob!

OMG! I've seen so many people drop their bikes in the parking lot there at the store! My 08 gix 750 is my favorite bike ever! I've been riding for 20ish years and have owned tons of bikes but the gixxer is the BEST! And it RAWKS at the gap!

 

us nooobs have to stick together! plus another rider GSXR! at that, and i have a new best friend.. on CF anyway. lol

not to hijak your thread- too badly, heh but heres a shot at the gap on my '06. Like you said, it performed flawlessly there.



if you look real close, those are 30day tags haha. i scored it for $8100 off the showroom floor the week prior. put 1000 miles on it real quick in that week to break it in, and then GAPd it hard. The stock bricks it came with were very confidence inspiring as they held even when i came into corners too hard and expected some push. I also took it to the dragstrip and a road course all within a year, but then decided on selling it as i wanted to move onto something different from these rockets that were starting to liter the area. I never really got over that weird bump angle that stuk out into my chest right behind the gas filler.

Im on a custom fighter SV now, but if/when i get another GSXR, i'll be going back to the K3 models.

It was my '02 that i wrecked there, warming up tires in the lot the very first night it fell over on the right side at @ 5mph when i lost my footing and snapped the front brake lever completely off!
so there was no way i was going to ride it in the pitch black, for the first time, with no front brakes. luckily, the group i was with included cars and bikes, so i rode out shotgun in a S2000, and then on the way back, rode my girl friends 06 750! lol

ahhhh good times

 

Hello! Congrats for the new jeep and welcome to the forum.Its good to meet you.hope you are enjoying your stay.

 

welcome from south jersey

 

I've owned 3 SV650's before! My hub had an SV1000. I rode it a few times. I've also ridden his 08 hayabusa and OMG! I LOVED it too! It's WAY different than the gixxer, and I don't thinkI'd want to ride it at the gap (although he rails it thru there. lol) but when I rode it thru the foothills parkway I was amazed at the smoothness and comfort of it! I need to have a seat shaved for it so I can ride it more. I was BARELY tippy toed on it!
Thank you! I think this place is great!

thanks!
