New Guy IL/MI-UP

[Gomez]

New here, I've had my '95 XJ for 2 years now.

Never took it off-road untill this past Fall. I've been looking around the forums quite a bit, and have gotten alot of great information. Thanks.

I'm currently working in Rockford, IL and in the fall will be returning to the UP for school. Hopefully once I get things fixed up I will be able to join you all for a few runs this spring/summer.

Welcome.

My lil sis went to MTU, I passed on going there cause of the very low girl-guy ratio.

I live 30 miles from Rockford. And El Jefe' lives in the neighborhood.

I just put the 3.5" Super Ride on my XJ.

 

[92XJT]

lol - yeah the ratio ain't great at all, but supposedly getting alot better then what it was. Most of us end up marrying some local girl up there is seems anyways (I feel in that trap).

 

[Gomez]

Yup, MTU is an interesting school.

After spending two years working in a State Park with lots of time with the locals, there was a bit of culture shock moving to Rockford.

Few more coats of PB blaster and it will be time to work on the lift. YAY

If you need a hand don't be afraid to ask.

This is the MWC after-all.

 

[Gomez]

Figured I was getting so much information here I should join, so I did. Is there anything special I need to do be considered part of the MWC, or is it automatic?

 

[Rev Den]

Welcome.

The best way to get to know us is to attend a M&G or run. Membership is automatic, but to really fit in...you need to meet us.

Yer goddamn right!

The M&G will help you to put faces to forum names and if you attend a run you get to actually see some of the ,ahem, personalities that roam the boards in person. If you're still stock, you will still have a great time on the trails and at the campfire.
