I had my first taste of Jeeping about 2 years ago when I bought a 2012 JK Unlimited. Had a great time with it for about a year, when I realized it wouldn't work for my daily ride. Sold it, got an electric car, drove that for a year, but the itch for eating dirt and having something I could work on was too much.
I'm now the proud owner of a 2000 TJ, affectionately known as Ol Yeller:

(this was after last Sunday's run through the woods. Muddy but happy).
I'm planning on doing as much work on it myself as I can. A 16 year old vehicle needs TLC, and I'm looking forward to advice and pointers, as well as some places here in MA to go wheeling (only places I know of right now are in NH :-/)
Hope to meet some of you soon!
