Default Newbie TJ driver

Heys Guys,

I am a newb from Louisville, Ky. I drive a 97 TJ w/ 4.0 and 3spd automatic. But lately I have been thinkin about getting an XJ...I think that Newborns may not like the heat of no A/C and will hate the wind when i drop the top. Not to mention I miss having a sound system in my ride... and a Wrangler isnt exactly secure.

I have actually been a member of the sister sight WranglerForum.com fo almost a year now.

Oh yeah, and my wife drives a new MK (patriot). I know it isnt exactly an offroad beast, but it beat the pants off my TJ in the snow this winter...

Our current stable...

Let's see there is Seymore Johnson AFB, There is Ft Bragg and they have an air field too not sure if it is AF or Army and then there is Camp Lejuene and Cherry Point plus the USMC has Bogue Inlet air field and another air field next to Lejeune. Thats all I can think of in N.C.
Maybe he meant Mayberry, oh thats in TV land not N.C. I Googled buckleberry N.C. but came up empty. Help, Help I'm lost in buckleberry and can't be found!!!
