I'm from the San Juan Ridge outside of Nevada City at a place called Ananda Village.Seems like the Sierra chapter has lost touch with a few of our long time members. Add to that the number of new people who have joined, and I honestly have no fricken clue where everyone is from. So lets start our own version of the poll that never dies. Where in the Sierra chapter are you from? Everyon who frequents the Sierra Chapter is encouraged to post in this poll, even if you aren't from our area.
New guy with an old jeep. Grew up with ATVs and rock crawling is 100% new to me.
1989 XJ 4 door
Non C clip Dana 35 with a lunchbox in the rear.
33s with a full size spare and a 4.5" Rough Country Lift.
Slip yoke eliminator and wide chain.
Bumpers front and rear with a 9,500 lb Smittybuilt winch.
Only trip I've done was into Rubicon before the SYE and wide chain upgrade. Zero experience with Jeeps in general and this is all new to me.
Moved to Reno earlier this year and taking advantage of the never ending web of trails nearby.
I'm on my second XJ, this one a 2001 I inherited from a friend that passed away. It's now my duty to have the adventures he can no longer have. I recieved the 2001 stock, but with the Up Country addons and have just started mods. Started with a 3" lift, 31's, and lots of repair and maintenance work. Will be doing bumpers, lockers, racks, and electrical next.
I'm into overlanding, moderate rockcrawling and fabrication and have a overlanding based web store to promote and support the hobby. Check it out if you like www.sidetrek.co
Happy to connect and help local xj'ers including recoveries.
Cheers
Andrew
Pretty new to Naxja, been on/off CF for a while but have been spending more time with the XJ now that I have moved back to Northern California. Had my Jeep since high school but not until the last couple of years have I been able to put more time and money into it.
Anyway I’ve got a ‘90 two door xj, ax-15, xj Dana 44 that’s disc brake swapped, WJ booster and MC, RE 4.5 lift with 3/4 spacer, SYE and double Cardan rear driveshaft.
Located in Mendocino co.

Welcome sir. There is a wealth of knowledge here. Don’t hesitate to ask or start a build blog. Alway love seeing new people build their rigs.
Yeah, I’d like to start a build thread, but not sure where to do so. Ok if I start one in the chapter area?

Checkin in from Livermore. Finally putting some time into the XJ this winter. Progress is likely to continue, shooting for Jeep Jamboree this summer :guitar:
