Default Kinda new here....

I signed up a while back and then kind of forgot about this forum....but I am back now.

Anyways, I belong to a number of other XJ and Jeep and 4x4 forums, so I have probably crossed paths with some of you before.

My name is Randy Langstraat and I currently live in Grand Junction, Colorado.

I started out with a 1992 XJ that eventually turned into a more extreme rock crawler. Maybe one day I will put it back together and start doing the more extreme trails again, but as of late I have moved away from that stuff and am more interested in exploring the back-country (especially Colorado and Utah) and the trails that are not as popular. I purchased a 2000 XJ early last year and built it up into my 'exploring' vehicle.

That's enough of my story, here's a few pictures of both of my XJ's.















If you want more info or to see a ton more pictures, feel free to check out my personal website: http://www.myxj.net

I think everyone who offroads envies the people out in Colorado. I was there for therapy a few years ago and took a drive up in some of the mountains. I wish I would have had my Jeep!! Great pics!! Welcome to the forum.

Welcome aboard Randy. You are definitely a welcome addition. Seems like we're getting more and more NAXJA members posting up here.

For those of you who aren't familiar with IntrepidXJ, he and his girlfriend are (IMO) the king and queen of scenic wheeling pictures. I have been jealous more than once of Randy's weekend "excursions".

I hope you decide to frequent here more often Randy. You'll find a good deal of laid back and friendly people here, without the a$$hattery that you may be familiar with from other forums.

Mike
