Felicitations fellow Jeepers! I’ve been “lurking” on the forum for almost a year and finally decided to join. Great info and support! My Jeep journey began early last year when a friend of mine acquired an old Cj7 v8, with a 6” lift on 35” Super Swampers. It was really loud and had a terrible road walk, but it was a blast to drive and attracted a lot of attention! Needless say I was hooked. Fast forward to June when I bought a Jeep of my own; a 97 Tj that needed a little work (or so I thought at the time) but was “too good a price to pass up“. It spent months in my mechanic’s shop being rebuilt and repaired (will post a detailed build thread soon), but since I got it back it has had a myriad of problems that have kept it from being a reliable daily driver. This forum has helped me immensely with diagnosing the ongoing issues. Problems aside, when it is running good it’s a lot of fun to drive and gets a lot of compliments from other Jeep drivers. Its been expensive to fix, it guzzles gas, and it’s slow on the highway, but it’s a Jeep thing, I’m sure you folks would understand.
