Introduce yourself

[nhrocker]

Welcome Panda...

That looks like Mack's old XJ.

It is. It's been a while.

I actually have one pair of the Hella's that used to be on the roof rack of that on the front of my rig.

 

[97panda]

yo eric.

its yours? haha did you buy jeffs old rig?

Was that directed at me? I used to know Jeff and was a step behind him as he was building his big white rig. When he traded it for that smaller white one I bought a pair of lights off him that used to be mounted to that roof carrier.

The guy who does own Jeff's big white rig is on here, and was even at NACfest this past year (not that I was there, couldnt afford it this year). Drawing a blank on his name though.

Where in Tyngsboro?? I'm right in Dracut, I think I might have seen ya once or twice... My big Jeep is currently collecting snow in the backyard, but ought to be cruising again soon. Do ya belong to any clubs other than ? I ask because I know there isn't hardly anything in our area for legal public wheeling. PM me if you'd be interested in more groups, I'd be glad to help ya out. Cool jeep! I love the 5 speeds :yelclap:

I've been to Paragon (now defunct?) as a passenger (didn't own a jeep). Otherwise there is an old abandoned mass of land about 5 miles from my house that is a decent place to play around.

Anything good down the Williamsport way?

Williamsport proper doesn't have much around it, but NW of there around Renovo there is a great state forest tract with plenty of varied terrain to legally wheel. Might be a little out of your way, though. I go up there about once a month so my daughter can see her mom and then I head out to my mom's, where the state forest land is. Good camping out there, though, which makes it easy to stay a few days. Can do state forest campsites or wilderness style. I was out there this past weekend and it was very snowy. I ended up on a forest road that had been groomed for snowmobiling. It was 12-14 inches of hard packed snow, which my currently open diffs (even with 4 tire chains) really didn't like. I'm working on prepping a set of axles with 4.10's and rear No-Slip and front OX, so when that's finished, I'd be happy to check out what you have up your way as well, since it's actually closer to me. If all goes well, I will be up and running mid-March. I'm kind of in a mods frenzy right now because my last Jeep kissed a telephone pole (I wasn't the driver!) and now I'm building another one. I left the locker in the other one (only a D35) and sold the Jeep to my brother (who was the driver), but the hit I took in winter ability was obvious after this past weekend so I'm trying to regain that functionality as quickly as I can. March. . .

 

[IRISHSPDFRK]

HELLO MY NAME IS SEAN . NEW TO JEEPS BOUGHT A 01 XJ SPORT. ALL STOCK RIGHT NOW. SOON TO HAVE A RUSTY'S 4.5 LIFT.arty:

[Hammered]

You may want to reconsider the brand of lift... Just maybe.

 

[IRISHSPDFRK]

ANY SUGGESTIONS? I'M NEW TO JEEPS. PRICE IS AWAYS A ISSUE LOOKING TO SPEND AROUND 1K. THIS IS MY DD. SO IT MUST BE EASY TO INSTALL. AND FROM WHAT I READ SHOULD TAKE ME A LONG SATURDAY OF WORK.

 

[Tommy4949]

This is a an "Introduce Yourself" thread, so I'll make it quick. I've had a Rusty's 3" lift on my Heep for over 3 years. I'm still at 3",shocks are all still good and I DD my rig and abuse it a little offroading. I have had a good experience with my Rusty's lift kit.

 

[Bugboy]

Rusty's has a good lift. ihave a 4.5 with budget on it for 6.5. has done everythign asked of it. maybe he is referring to rough country. but rustys works just fine. doesnt always have to be Rubicon express.
