French Guy!

[ChrisTJ the froggy]

Hello everybody!

I live in France, near Bordeaux, the famous (the most famous! ;-)) country of red wine.
I am 50 years old and got a 2006 65th anniversary TJ: 4.0l, 6 speeds & manuel transmission, 2 inches extension, 32/11,5/15 Hankook Dynapro Rt 03.

I don’t speak very good English, but translators are my friends !

Thank you for this forum with a lot of great informations, tutos and videos wich explain how to do or fix !

See you with photos of my TJ.

Post some photos of your TJ if you get a chance. Sounds like you live in a pretty nice area as well, I'm jealous!

Bienvenue! Don't think I ever saw any Jeeps when I spent some time at school in France, was it hard to find one?

Not at all! There are a lot. Less than in US, but more since Fiat is the motter house! JK fashion, WK2, etc....
If you wanted to talk about Jeep, fewer of us have one. But we have!

Oh I meant more TJ's specifically, or older Jeeps. Do you see many of them?

 

[ChrisTJ the froggy]

Yes. I’ve already had a 2,5l and 4.0l YJ and a 4.0l 2002 TJ.
Friends have TJ and some YJ.
Willys are rarer, but 2 friends have restaored theirs.

I will post photos, you will see.

There are, but lot of places are forbidden because of this or that pretext.

Every year, in the end of April or start of may, in the middle of France, there is a gathering of many Jeep. Last year we were near 600 Jeep, during 3 days. The village’s name is CHAMBON SUR LAC. You can see videos on Youtube.

That's very cool! It's nice to see that the Jeeps are also popular in Europe as well. In the United States, you see them almost everywhere you go nowadays!

 

[ChrisTJ the froggy]

Yes, it’s a dream country for the Jeep! You got the toys and the place where to play!
