Hey guys,

Thought Id make my first post here to get to know everyone. I just bought my first Jeep. I bought it off Tree_Frog, and I got to hand it to him, he did a great job on it. I been on a few trails here in Natchez Trace (Carroll and Henderson Counties). Would like to get meet a few other people to go trail riding on a regular basis. Camping and etc.

here are a few pics. I know you guys have already seen it but hey I gotta post em. lol...

This is my first Jeep but not first 4x4. Its my 4th. My first was a 1985 Chevy Scottsdale on 33's with 6in lift and then a 1979 Dodge PowerWagon with 6in lift and dont remeber the tire size. And my favorite lil 4x4 my 94 Geo Tracker 2door (not the convertable but like the 2door cherokee and they are hard to find).

Since im lazy and have yet to fill out my Bio I'll tell a lil about myself.
I'm the IT guy for the Regional Health Dept. Im into Guns, Computers (of course), Camping, Photography, HAM Radio (I got my license but really am still a newb at it), Duck Hunting (when I can afford it), trying to learn about wilderness survival, SHTF Day preparedness, etc.

But yea thats about it. I hope to meet alot of new friends on here and hit some trails.

Anyone wanna point me in the direction of some really good threads on general maintenance? I want to change all the fluids (dif and all) and do a general tune up. And I wanna start on making it more reliable. Starting with the alternator and adding a second battery. Then working from there.

Thanks Guys!
