Hey everyone,
I assume this is where you post introductions. I have been a member (by which I mean I've been signed up) of the forum for awhile, and have looked around some, but now that I have a Jeep, and live near Calgary, I figure I should be a little more active. I'm not new to wheeling, have been doing so since I was fairly young. It's an addiction I've tried to get out of a couple of times, doesn't work. I give up. It's like horses for me, it's sort of my life!!
I lived up in Camrose for awhile and was quite active on NA4WDA, but I sort of bowed out when I sold my CJ7 that was a project (Didn't run, body was rusted off, etc) because I had to move.
I now live near Airdrie and work on a ranch in Balzac, about 2 seconds off the QE2. I'm not new to the area, I've lived in or near Calgary off and on for a few years. I however have no friends here other than my 17year old brother.
My rig is a 98 Cherokee, 2 dr, 5spd sport with the 4.0L. Amazing shape considering it was $450. Will probably start a build thread soon enough.
Anyway, thanks for reading!

Sure could. Just need to think "do I want to look as douchey as Trevor" that would be enough to make anyone walk away. :D
Anyway, welcome Rob.

Haha thanks for the welcomes. I love this thing already, so I can take a little douchebaggery.

The real question about is... What color is your xj?
-
It's bluish purply. I think it was originally blue but now it's purpley. It'll get painted eventually, but this will be a slower project. My emphasis is more on the effectiveness rather than the cosmetics.
And no, it's not Barney purple...

I've been looking around, haven't found any info (Probably not looking hard enough, flame away), is there info on how to become a member and such? IE N00b runs, etc?
EDIT: Search button WOW! Found it, nevermind...

Remember it's not an offroad ready cherokee unless the doors are different colors than the rest of the body!
(had to throw this in for the earlier burn on JK's)

Haha, does it count that the tailgate doesn't open?

Nope.... just wait 'til you can't CLOSE the damned tailgate....

So...I have the chance to pick up my dream truck (in SUV form)...it's an 88 Ramcharger...unfortunately I would have to trade the XJ. I'm not sold yet, I really love this XJ, but I"ve always wanted one of those trucks. I suppose that would put me out of the club?
-
A ramcharges your dream truck? Mustve been quite the nightmare...

Lmao...No, a 1st Gen 12V is my dream truck. Unfortunately, I never quit playing cowboy, so I can't afford one. I love that body style though.

Well, definitely NOT getting rid of the Jeep. Been driving it for awhile now, and I love it too much...and I haven't even been off road yet!! If I have enough to get a front driveshaft (The ball joint inside the double cardan is cracked, I'm not sure if I could wheel with it like that or not), I will be at McLean this weekend. Just mild stocker trails, but will still be there!!
