Just sayin' Hey !
I just submitted my app for new member with BSJ.
I've had my '99 TJ Wrangler or six years now, first and only one and i love it. I hope to upgrade the suspension and lift it up a lil' (although downsized tires to 30" -What was i thinkin'?) Need to get a new front drive shaft so I'll be touch with Elias.
I did some off-roading while I lived in NH near Laconia/Belmont but haven't been at all in last few years. Now live in Medford, MA and saw BSJ on a jeep tire cover and looked you guys up and you seem to be an alright bunch of jeepers :)
My first Jeep event at GTD this past weekend and it was a great experience meeting alot of people - So far, I've met Carl, Mark & Mike with BJS; the 'mean guy' Lou @ Elias; a Mudchick Jen & Josh from Laconia @ Jeep Rally booth and several others.
Looking forward to meetin' up with you again !

You met Carl and came back?? :shock:

Welcome aboard. We try to have runs that can accommodate different sized jeeps and everyone have fun, so you should enjoy it.

Welcome aboard! :P
BSJ is a great group of Jeepers.

Carl is your "neighbor" in Medford. He just did an awesome tech article on how to rebuild a CV (double cardan) driveshaft joint.
(He just rebuilt his DS)
Maybe you can use the pointers in his article to possibly fix your DS.

if you were at GTD then you probably met me as well. I was the one making people sign waivers.

Welcome, this is a fun group of Jeepers.

Thankyouverymuch everybody :) and my app got accepted so you're stuck with me now !!
@SidewaysTim and Frank and smileyfish- thanks!
@ jquader: i thought about that for a long while before meeting up! However, on the trail rides if my jeep is too low for the more dif rides, maybe i can go with someone else as passenger?
@Kurt - i didn't know that. 'll have to check that out.
@Chris, i believe so. I'm unable to post pics as of yet.
@mightymeglet i signed a waiver at entrance but there was a girl there first. I didn't make it on the trial with my jeep due to lack of front DS (ouch)
@Northshore Jeeper - that's becuz i wasn't at the spring meeting. I missed it, unfortunately.

@Carl thanks. I enjoyed meeting everyone. the DS is at shop and where the U Joint is it moves left/ride and up/down. there's a pin and if i think a coil and it's broken. i wrote down the details just gotta locate it. but it's where it meets with differential. So i was going to buy one at Elias and have shipped to me. It's quoted $150 for repaired DS Right now, driving w/o it. So no havin fun out there for me right now unless i tag along as psnger.

:looks down: yep I'm still a girl. Must have been me. I only got to go on the trails once, and it became an interview. Maybe next time Joe won't kick me out of his Jeep, meanie :P

@Nothtshore Jeeper - I'm actually really bad with names/faces. I've met a few people 5 or 6 times before I remember meting someone. Maybe/hopefully next time.
