Hello everyone!

My name is Eric and I recently moved from Eastern NC to the FL Panhandle for work. I had my quarter life crises and bought a 1998 SE almost 6 months ago. Let me tell you, I've been loving every minute of it! It's my first Jeep, first time driving manual, and will be my first vehicle where I do 100% of the maintenance.

I want to learn how to troubleshoot then repair any problem my Jeep has/will have and I have a good feeling y'all can help with that. Since this is not my daily driver, I'm in no rush with things and plan to take my time. Anyways, here are photos of my new baby. I haven't done anything to it yet, so whatever mods you see are all from previous owners.

Welcome,

Nice looking Jeep. White is my favorite vehicle color. Spent lots of summers in Pensacola as a kid, the panhandle is beautiful!

@MallCrawlOnTons Oh yeah once it stays a little more consistent those doors and top are coming off real quick!

@Chris So far it's been really good to me! It's my first time moving out of NC so it was intimidating at first, but the people here are nice and the area does remind me of home a little bit which doesn't hurt. I'm slowly exploring the area (and seeing where I can offroad). I got spoiled being allowed to drive on the beach haha!

Yep, and you get the nice weather there, which is something to brag about in and of it's own!
