Hi guys! This is my first post so I thought I would start by introducing myself. My name is Mike and I'm finishing up my first year of law school in San Diego.
I've had alot of experience tinkering with various cars (I have an 01 Integra Type R - the momentum master) and have gone as far as rebuilding my 90 Miata motor (spec-miata aka money pit). My experience with leaf suspensions has been limited to the research I have done in the past few weeks. I love Jeeps and wanted to experience a new form of motorsports so I am humbly here soaking up as much info as I can.
My beater car was stolen here last year so I decided to pick up a nice 4x4. After a few weeks of research on
and other jeep forums I found my dream truck. (I will become a member as soon as my next financial aid check comes in!). It's a black 4dr 2000 XJ sport with 44,000 miles. The clearcoat and interior is pristine and I picked it up for $8k through craigslist (btw, if anyone needs a VIN checked on carfax I have a membership until 4/16).
Through member's infinite wisdom (and the search function) I contacted Jeep with my VIN to see the options on the car. I was surprised to find out I had the up-country, off-road, and tow package (I thought all I got was a hitch/light hookup but it seems I have the aux coolers as well! =)
I am also an avid shooter (long range rifle and pistol) and have a passion for Green Tree Pythons (morelia viridis). You can check out my forum (although I havent had the time to upkeep b/c of school obligations) at chondroforums.com if you are interested. I am sure that many here share passions that bleed into other hobbies. =)
So, there is my little (excited and rambling) introduction. I look forward to meeting everyone here in SoCal and hope that my fascination with dirt/rocks/mud will become a full-blown addiction.
