    Hey Jeepers!

    My name is Mitch and I live in Hesperia. My boss gave me a 1988 YJ 4.2 in October 06 as a Bonus/Gift. So I have only spent $10,000 since then in goodies on my "free" jeep.
    I have jeeped every weekend since Oct 06, on a Saturday or Sunday. At this point (and my reason for wanting a Jeep)I've driven dirt roads around the high desert and the local mountains checking out old mines and indian petroglyph's, ect. I truely have a problem with angles (left & Right as well as up and down). I seek a patient trail guide that will teach some confidence building trail skills. I get concerned when I see an easy trial listed and find out that there was only a couple of 4 foot water fall sections. My Jeep has way more abilities than I do. Mod's that I've added are:

    Rubicon Express 4.5" Extreme Duty suspension / lift
    Rubicon Express mono tube shocks
    Rubicon Express CV style Driveshaft
    33" x 12.5" M.T. BAJA MTZ's on M.T. Classic lock rims
    Warn Crawler Bumpers front and rear w/recovery hooks
    Warn rock sliders
    Super 35 rear (30 spline axle and 3.73 Ring/pinion
    Rear OX locker
    New/rebuilt T-case with SYE
    Cobra 35 CB w/5' Wilson (CH 19)
    Air compressor
    Tow straps and chains

    Look forward to meeting all of you!

    Is your boss hiring!?

    Welcome....thats one hell of a bonus!

    Confidence with come with time. When you wheel with more people, in a group, you will tend to push your Jeep a little harder, because there are others to assist you if you get stuck.

    Jeep on!

        Hello Mitch!
        Wow! When I saw your eariler posts, I didn't know the luck that you have had with your boss! The work that you have put in to your rig is awesome. You have a lot potential with that set up.

        Anytime that you want to go on a run, just let me (and the rest of MJR) know.

            I don't know what you have chains for... If you were stuck and were trying to use chains for recovery, I'd run as fast and as far from you as I could!
