Greetings to everyone, and thanks for letting me join your club. I have owned and enjoyed many 4x4 vehicles in my 50+ years as a driver, and three of those vehicles were Jeeps. The most memorable of these is my current YJ 4.0L automatic. Photos attached. I have just finished a 9 month restoration, trying to bring the Jeep to original specs. Considerable welding has been done to the frame and sheet metal so those repairs don't resemble factory work. I have Outlaw 2 wheels with 31 x 10.5 tires. Tube rear bumper with 2x2 receiver and shackle insert. The front bumper also has a 2x2 receiver to accommodate a Badlands winch or my aluminum snow plow. Most of my 4x4 time was extensive snow removal adventures back when I was just out of college. I'm probably a 4x4 wimp in that I would prefer not to damage the vehicle I just put so much time and money into. I'd be real happy to get to the great outdoors in the company of like-minded off-road enthusiasts. In the course of restoring my Jeep I purchased a nice 20' 10,000 GVW hydraulic car carrier so perhaps I may be able to assist with logistics for club members. If the trail head can accommodate my trailer, I would prefer to keep the miles off the Jeep by trailering it. I have extensive experience in heavy-lift rigging, commercial vehicle operation, commercial captain's experience, and private pilot adventures (many years ago). I hope to receive news of a trail event and begin my participation in and contribution to your club. Ian Moores. Easton, MA
