Hi from Jacksonville nc

[Chris conner]

Im new to this forum. I drive an 07 Tacoma and my wife is looking to get a Tj, so I'm looking forward to finding new things and learning more about them to assist her in getting a great jeep. Thanks

Welcome to the forum Chris! You'll learn a lot about TJs hanging around here, there's some really brilliant minds on the forum.

You'll have to let us know when the wife ends up getting a TJ!

 

[Chris conner]

I appreciate it, I'm currently out of town for the next month, but as soon as I get back I'll be hunting hard for one. I'm looking forward to meeting other members and learning a lot.

[Chris conner]

You can look at it whenever you want, there's no time limit.

Of course since the forum only started 5 months ago it's probably not going to be as populated yet as say Craigslist, eBay or Autotrader.

Well, prepare to go through a clutch if she's going to learn on that. I think when most people learn they pretty much waste a clutch the first time.

Yea completely expecting that. Only hopes is she is a quick learner

 

[Chris]

Hopefully! I tried to teach my wife to drive stick last year and she just gave up on me!

 

[Chris conner]

well if she gives up then ill have myself a jeep lol. She's wanted a jeep for so long i don't think there is any way she would give up.

 

[Chris]

Yeah, that's a good way to look at it! I am sure she will figure it out.

 

[Chris conner]

Picked it up last night. She got about an hr of practice in, she did really well. She loves it though

 

[Chris]

So cool! Glad she got he hang of it pretty well. She's going to end up loving that thing!

My wife hates automatics. It takes a while to teach then to drive with only one foot.

 

[Chris conner]

im stoked for her, she's in love with it.

I've got to fix some minor things like passenger seatbelt is broken and won't retract, the climate control is cracked, just little things like that. But overall its nice, i caught her just sitting and hanging out in it in the garage with the dogs

Sounds like you got her hooked. That's the first step. Now let her do some trail driving and get stuck. That will allow the argument for lockers to be much more persuasive. Just trying to help ya out here.

Nothing like owning a Jeep, that's for sure!
