Default Hello from WV!!!

Hey guys, I've been getting on here for the last few weeks , tryin to learn about Jeeps.

I have a red 95 4 door I got 2 months ago for $500 & I love it!! It was mainly used on a strip mine & has 310,000 miles. When I got it the brake lights & turn signals didn't work. I got that fixed now just got to get the holes in the body fixed & the E-brake workin, so I can get an inspection sticker.

This is the first 4wd I've ever owned so I'm totally clueless & will probably be asking lots of questions lol.

I uploaded some pics of The Ol' Girl if anyone wants to check'em out.

Welcome to CF from Dan in Tenn..
The old red girl looks pretty good, you just need to replace those rockers with some new metal and voila, good to go.

Yep, lol. I've been told ya can easily get 500K out of a 4.0, if ya take care of it. The main reason I bought it is because it turns over about twice ,fires right up, & runs smooth.

I'm in Fayetteville, about 20 miles north of Beckley.

It replaced my previous car which was ironicly hit by a 95 Jeep Wrangler!!!






If ya look close at the 2nd pic you can make out the outline of the Wranglers front bumper. I'm just glad that nobody got hurt.

Thanks for the welcomes!!

Forgot to mention that Fayetteville is the home of the New River Gorge Bridge: http://www.officialbridgeday.com/

Well it was due for a trade up to a better ride. The Wrangler saw that and helped you out.
