New to Baystate Jeepers

Unread post by MayhemJL »

Hello Everyone! My name is Shannon.

Prior to joining Baystate, I met a hand full of its members, and felt welcomed by them immediately. 8-)

To date, I haven't done any mods on Animal, initially because it's my DD, and I don't think sound system mods count. :lol: He's a 2006 TJ Sport, automatic, 6 cyl...and has developed a (hopefully, minor) transmission issue, which I have just begun research on. So, that repair will take precedence over what I want to do.

I am hoping to start with small mods and don't have a timeline yet...new wheels (won a set, so I will just need to select style and such), slightly larger tires (on my 2nd set of BFG's now and LOVE them...open to thoughts for other brands, definitely want to go a little larger), budget boost (or lift...TBD), and maybe eventually redo some of the armor. I have been off road with it twice. One of the times I felt daunted due to lack of clearance and smaller tire size given the obstacles I was facing and had my first incident with a rock. The rock won, that time. But I still had a blast wheeling it! :) I've also been a passenger in other rigs a few times and found it fun, scary, and very educational...I only bailed once...haha.

Not sure what else to share, other than...this is my first Jeep/build and I'm looking forward to meeting other members and learning more about my Jeep.

Thanks! :handgestures-thumbupright:

Welcome to the forum, Shannon. Looking to meet you either on the trails or at our upcoming Fall meeting. Still a handful of runs to enjoy this season along with a few other events.

How about some :banana-gotpics: of your rig!

Hey Ish!

Hi Ralph. I couldn't figure out how for the first post, (not used to the site's layout), but it should be attached to this one. :music-rockout:

Wow! It's in great shape. We'll have to work on that. We'll start with a few pin stripes provided by Mother Nature. Then, we'll graduate to maybe a dent in the bumper. Do those plans work for you, Shannon? It will be FUN, too.

Haha. Thanks...that was after a bath, so...don't let it mislead you. I'd prefer not to add any pin stripes or dents to its character. Lol. It's got enough personality. But getting more experience wheeling would be awesome! :)

Okay, fellow members. Who wants to start filling in Shannon about life on the trails and what to expect? I started the ball rolling. Time to add to it.
