Title: Introduction
Post by: Gramps on February 03, 2009, 08:10:29 PM

Hello All,

 I have met a few of you personally at the last Whispering Pines run and at the last club meeting. For everyone else I own a 99 Jeep Wrangler Sport soft top, 4.0L, standard with 118,000 miles. It has 33? mudders that are very loud on the road.  We picked up the Jeep last summer with Ryan?s help and the only thing we have done to it so far is put a new top on it. We got the jeep as our third vehicle to make dump runs and to have something to play with. I have no immediate plans for it at this time. I enjoy wheeling but haven?t a chance to do a lot of it. I live in Canandaigua and have been here most of my life.

I had a great time at the January Whispering Pines run in January and was very impressed by all the club members who came out in the cold to help put up the rafters at Ryan?s barn. I look forward to being a member of the group and plan on attending this weeks run at the Pines. Sorry it?s taken me so long to introduce myself, I spend a good portion of my day on the computer at work and the last thing I want to do at night, is get back on it. Plus my typing sucks.

Welcome,

I bought a Jeep with 33s a year ago, planning to have some fun with it. Now I have a rear locker, convinced a brother in law to buy another Jeep (that took no effort really), front locker when I get around to it, and go camping in PA so I can go wheelin... It grows on you.

See you at the next outing.

Hello all! I work with fedrusion (Even though I think we only met once. LOL). I have an 1989 YJ Wrangler Sahara Edition. It\'s running a SBC 350, Standard AX-15 Tranny, NP231 transfercase ( SYE Still needs to be purchased. ) 4\" Black Diamond lift, DANA XJ 30 front and a Ford 8.8 disc rear. For tires I\'m running 33x12.5x15 Goodyear MT/R\'s. I\'ve been into jeeps for a long time but this is the first one that I think I would attempt to go off road in. here is my best posser shot. ;-)

Thank you all for the nice greeting! As soon as I get the front and rear axles working together at the right gear ratio. I\'ll be around. Switching to 4.10\'s from 3.07\'s.  Hoping to get it worthier enough for the memorial day event. If anything to steal  fedrusion parking spot at work! ;-)
