Hello from Woburn

Hello all! My name is Geoff, from Woburn.

My father-in-law introduced me to Kurt a while back when he phone diagnosed some brake issues I was having. Kurt had such wonderful things to say about the club that I though I would poke my head over here and take a peek!

I have a 95 YJ and a 2010 JKU Islander (the wife's). The JK is mostly stock with just a bumper and winch added recently (no pics of those yet).

The YJ is where I spend most of my time.

I got the YJ about three years ago and started modding only about a year ago. It's got a 2" spring lift with 1" shackle lift, both by BDS with 235/86/16 BFG All-terrains on Cherokee Icon wheels. I just swapped in a new Ford 8.8 and Dana 30, both regeared to 4.88 with Aussie lockers and new diff covers. I'm still chasing some vibrations in the rear (I have an AA SYE and a Tom Woods DS and my angles appear to be good, but I think the issue may be with a wallowed out pinion yoke that I'll be replacing soon)

Other mods include a RockHard4x4 swingout rear bumper w/ hi-lift, bolt-in sport cage, AX-15 conversion, no trackbars, swaybar disconnects, CB, stereo upgrade, etc. The usuals.

A few more pictures:

Welcome. I thought I recognized that YJ and the location in the second pic. Then, I noticed I was the one walking up the hill behind it. LOL

Ha ha, yup. Last year's ExploringNH anniversary run. My wife and I had a great time with it! That was the same run that made me realize how bad I am with being light on the skinny pedal and pushed me towards the 8.8, ha ha

Glad to see you had a chance to check out our forum & postied up some pics and an intro.
The YJ is coming along nicely!

I gave Frank my Ph #'s to pass on to you.
Give me a shout if you want some pointers on the leak.
