New Guy from Marlborough
How's it going everyone? I am Mike and I am from Marlborough...I have lurked around here for a bit but finally decided to sign up...I have known Chris for years and he was asking me last night why I wasn't on here yet...So here I am...
Please post a pic of your jeep.
Tell us about the mods you have made.
As of last night the only mod I have done since I bought her in November is some Body Armor Rocker Protection Chris hooked me up with...I have a set of JKS Quick Disco's sitting in my living room I haven't had an opportunity to install yet...And when I brought it home Chris took a look and was pretty confident it had a 2 in BB in it...
Tell us about the mods you hope to make in the future.
Anything and Everything??? New to the Jeep world so I will determine this stuff as I go...
How long have you been offroading?
Depends what we consider offroading...I grew up racing Motocross so I have been on trails and tracks since I was 14 or so...Otherwise this is my first jeep...Chris took me out with him a couple times last year other then that nothing major...
Is this your first jeep?
Absolutely, and I love every second of owning it...Before the Jeep I had a 2007 Mustang that I got rid of in November when I bought this...Car was fun but after I blew the motor up it was all down hill from there...
Picture of the Mustang the day I traded it in...taken a few hours before the Jeep above...
After it sat in the garage for a year I finally got the funds together to yank the motor...
And carnage pics are always fun to look at...
Just to clarify this wasn't a ummm Ford issue....It isn't strongly recommended to run 11psi worth of boost through a stock motor...I knew a bunch of people doing it so I figured I would take the risk...I struck out...Coming down 190 in Sterling she tossed a rod through the side of the block ...Game Over...
Anyway I am looking forward to hitting some trails this year and learning some more about Jeeps while I do it....Hope to meet you all at some point....

Welcome!

Looks like it needs some pin-stripping. Welcome aboard for the wild ride.
