    Hello from the Wolverine State!

    Hi guys (and gals) I've been lurking around the forum for a few weeks now. After 20 years of pining, I found a lovely TJ, broke down and got my very first Jeep. I'm lucky in that it didn't have a ton of miles on it, the frame is sound with minimal rust, and it's been pretty well maintained...
