New to CJA
« on: August 20, 2014, 07:53:48 AM »
Hi guys,

New to the club and thought i would say "Hi" and to basically ask a very general question on how the club works and ethics..

Why you ask?? Simple, i used to drive a Hummer and have been wheelin for years now and really enjoy all aspects of being out in the bush and especially the social part as you gotta have fun! I drive a 2013 Sahara which used to be my daily driver and am modifying for offroading now and that will be my rig.
I joined the junkies and was out 2 weekends ago with a buddy of mine in his H1 and met up with them at the falls in waiparous. His dashcam caught one of them stealing a locking pin off his hood grill.
$10 part no biggy but what disgusts me is that violates every aspect of trail honor. I have rescued numerous vehicles in my years and will go out of my way to help anyone in need so when i see this.... Turns me off that group all together. Yes only one guy did it... But about 10 watched... So i say bye to the junkies..

Ive met some awesome jeep owners in waiparous.... Hoping CJA was them... Obviously it wasnt the junkies...

Dave

Suite 619

Just look for jeeps....  Should be a good bunch. By 6pm.

That was an unfortunate incident you had.  As you get to know us, you will find that a bunch of a$$hats but great people to wheel and wrench with.

Welcome to the site.  Sorry to hear about your bad experience.  I know some of the Junkies and they are good folks.  It sucks that someone has to give them a bit of a black eye.

Hope to see you at Broken Axle next week and out on the trails as well.

Hey guys. Please know if we at the Junkies knew who it was we would certainly address it.
One persons actions obviously does not reflect an entire club.
Thanks to those that know us and have our backs. We have a bunch of great people over on the Junkies!!

Cheers

Thanks Randy for posting already.

Khamul, if you have a problem or any type of concern, it would be much appreciated to have it brought to our attention (admin of JJ) and not find out about it on another forum and for you to be disrespecting the JeepJunkie name.

As Randy said, thanks to other people who have our back as there are a large number of good people in the Junkies group.

Cheers,

Thanks Matt and Randy for your replies on this.  I too and an admin on JJ and would love to hear who was involved in this.  Again please do not paint everyone with the same brush.  You can message me or even text or call me if you like. 403=681=2040

Dude, he came here because he's got a negative opinion of your crew after seeing video evidence of one of your members stealing from a friend of his. Do you think that scolding him for posting up on a site that takes a different approach to wheeling is going to have a positive effect? Maybe he's here because of that different approach.

My suggestion - take a page from the other JJ members that posted up here. offer an apology for his negative experience, and focus your energies on making JJ the kind of club that people want to join. Of course my opinion doesn't matter since I'm a member here and everyone knows that the CJA are a bunch of (insert favorite insult here)!

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

Randy, Matt and Dwayne, as a JJ forum member and a member of this crew. Let's remember there have been negative feedback "disrespecting" from the JJ crew as well about the CJA and none of you piped up about that.   This goes both ways. I am proud to display decals from both sides. BUT you can't get your feathers ruffled up over someone posting an opinion. This is the epitome of double standards.

On a side note. I know all three of these guys and can tell you they are standup people. AND if they did know about it, they would be all over it like a fat kid on a smartie.

Mike, I can completely understand what you are saying but at the same time, I would much appreciate hearing about it directly from any member. With most sincerity. I don't mean to ruffle feathers but would rather hear where the issue is, who is involved, and I will do my best to resolve said issue.
