Where is everyone from?

Welcome aboard!

Hi back...sorry so long, but I have a question

I also loved your photo gallery sarah. I'd like to post my pics of stuff, so you guys can see my baby...but I can't figure out how, I guess the bleach went to far this month.

Where did you get that awesome sticker? The 'official abuse' one? I'd love to get it... where is Apple Valley, northern or southern Ca? Sounds beautiful.

I have a `98 exactly the same model as yours sarah but black, and it has 36" x-terrias on it. haven’t had this model off road yet, can't wait for this summer. I've gone wheeling in my 93 before at midnight on new years eve in the snow up at 'uncle tom’s cabin,’ (before it got commercialized and paved roads).

I have a tech question on my Jeep. I’m hoping someone has heard of this problem before?? My Jeep has a steady tic-tic-tic sound under it. I can't tell where it is coming from because the sound is traveling. I thought it was a 'U' joint, that's what it sounded like but they have been replaced along with the rear drive-line.

I bought it three years ago from a dealership with 38K miles on it, then had it lifted by 4 wheel parts in Oakland, Ca. It now only has a little over 40K on it, (my 3rd car) I just started driving it every day then all this happened, so now before summer I'd like to figure this out.

My mechanic found metal in the tranny it was missing a reverse tooth, and all the sincrows were out, it also had green gunk all over the gears and was put back together with silicone. Also the rear dif had metal in it, found out the spider gears were very pitted.

I went to the dealerships mechanic, he is saying it might be the exhaust manifold, (inherent with jeeps, just like the Chrysler caravans tranny). I was also thinking it might be the cadillac converter, but I don’t know the stupid sound is traveling to much…I've had the engine completely gone through, the transfer case looked at, the tranny was completely changed out to a new one, the rear spiders completely replaced with new ones and the noise is still there, grant it not as bad but... :censor:

I just want to be on solid ground to see what the spring lift can do and get the feel of it; I've never had this kind of lift or this high of one before. I've been wheeling sense `95 but always on a stock, or a 3" normal leaf spring type Jeep. The problems are another reason I want to baby my baby, it will be the first time I'm go out with this Jeep, (oh, virgin Jeep, look out...) and don't want to get stranded for nothing, I'd like to earn it, not just have it brake on me, if you know what I mean?!? haha

I'm thinking Hollister because of the good conditions, and it's not too far to tow if I have to.

Any suggestions would help
thanks guys

Brand new here

Hi guys, Bernie here, from New Zealand. we (wife and I) have a 87 YJ and a 95 Cherokee. dont think here is anything on the YJ that has not been touched, beefed up, repaired, modified, we love it. have not meet a bet bunch of people since starting out on this 4 wheel driving stuff. mostly bush tracks down here, just finished our first winch challenge full on 3 1/2 days with 2 night stages "oresome"

Welcome

Hi Bernie and Wife, Welcome How's the weather down there?? It’s rainy in San Francisco, California, but it was hot and sunny all last week, in the 80's, 20 degrees above normal in some spots, hit records a couple of days.

Hay, my first Mom-in-law had an exchange student from New Zealand back in the 80’s, I met her a few summers ago, she was great. Glad to see some new country’s in the loop.

Your `87 sounds great, any pics? and what about the `95, any mods on it?? I have had 4 jeeps over the years a `89 YJ, `93 YJ my husband and I have a `98 TJ and before it got totaled a `97 Cherokee. It was in front of our house last Christmas eve and with us not even home our drink neighbor hit it 2 times, one from behind and then they backed into it in front.

We now have an `82 Chevy K-5 Blazer with a 6” lift, same height as the `98 TJ.

Hope to hear from you guys soon, again welcome.

April and Jeff

I thought I needed to join in as I'm tired of the stuck up attitudes of some of the other sites around (mentioning no names :wink , Looks like a lot of great Jeeps and great people are members. If you're wondering about the Orange curtain thing, I'm a Brit trapped behind the Orange Curtain in Mission Viejo, OC Ca. Looking forward to causing mayhem :beer:

I knew there where other people trapped in the OC! Any other Saturday I'd say Big Bear it is, but this weekend's the Sanddrag spring nat's http://www.sanddrags.com/event-springnat.html and I gotta go to work and take some pic's, oh and maybe get a ride in a 1000hp CJ!

cleveland Ohio

Hello,

I am new to this group and happy to be here now. I am from the greater cleveland ohio area ( Snow Capital of America )

My beloved jeep is a 1992 YJ Wrangler with the 4 banner. It has a 3 inch body lift and 2 sup lift. rides on 32 inch BFG rubber mounted on alum 11.5 bullit rims. The salt they use on the roads around here convert bodys to rusted swiss cheese thats why i got my jeep from upland CA last year.

I read the artical about the "Jeep Wave" thats one thing I love about my Jeep and when other wrangle drivers don't wave i feel insaulted.

well I hope to meet a bunch of fellow jeep lovers here for both on line and real time friendships.

Keep on Jepping
