I have been asked registration for non members is working.

Please send me your info and I am keeping a non members list. As of July 1 if there is space I will start at the top of that list filling the spaces.

 If you become a member between now and then you will automatically switch to the members list as of the date you became a member.

Thank You

Im in for wheeling!!! I actually have both days off!! :D

When and where!!! Im in!  :D
I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...

I second that. I would be in for it too because I should have a winch by the end of the year.

Excellent!  Please let us know... I didn't get out to the 101 this year (first year I went wheeling) but now that I've been out a few times, it would be great to learn how to use the winch I'm putting on over the winter!!

Just go out with SpecialK, and Rubiclone... you'll learn how to use the winch in a quick hurry. :D
if we were smart with our money we wouldn't own Jeeps.

That's OK. After the last run out their mine decided it did not want to go back this year and threw the cam threw the block.
