*NEW MEMBER INTRODUCTIONS*

[Yoshi]

Yo all, I'm Bill most of my friends call me Yoshi. I'm into Military simulations and just about everything Military. I'm hoping to enlist soon and go off to basic in the fall.

My daily driver is a 2000 jeep Wrangler, its stock with a 2.5 4 banger and 5 speed stick. It has a non' locker dana 35. Right now its at the driveline shop through work, I blew the pinion bearing along with the ring and pinion and spyder gears. but i'd love to get into off roading and i figured i'd see what was out here.

Sup Bill. Make sure you aren't putting any $$ into that 35 if that's the axle that went bad. Get rid of it and invest into a 44 or something worth investing into. The 35 is like the plastic wrap on tv dinners. It belongs in the garbage.

I don't have the cash to up grade right now, so i'm hoping it will last me a good while and then i'll up grade.

[DixieJeeper]

Hello everyone. My name is J.T. and I'm currently living in Finleyville. I'm in the Navy which has kept me away from Pittsburgh for a while but now I'm stationed in Washington, PA for a few years as a recruiter.

I recently picked up and '07JK and so far have put on a 1.75"BB with 33" Duratracs. I've done a few other things like install some KC windshield lights and bought a hardtop. I have almost no experience wheeling but I really want to get into it. I'll be at Big Dogs in Winchester, VA in April but would really like to cut my teeth before I head on down there.

JT wife and I and rockinTJ are going BDOR in April PM if you want to follow us down.

its possible. i could see making the actual light bracket on the driver side longer for fitment, but that would also decrese visability by alot and not sure how the lights would aim up...
