Last month I had the chance to meet "Hog" from the the forum at the Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion. His avatar told me he had family and gave me the impression he was a down to earth guy.
We sat up an autograph booth at the trade show and generally had a great time.
If any of you guys get the chance to meet other forum members , please really consider taking that opportunity . Right off the bat , you know you are going to have something in common . Second , you will get the chance to learn something you otherwise may not . We just can't really see the other guys TJ on here like in person.
I recently picked up an 06 Auto Rubicon to play with , just because I wanted to know what an automatic was like mainly , and drove it down to his lake house to let him see what I needed to sort out . He showed me a trick with my seat belts and had some good feed back , we dropped the top , toured the area that was way cooler than I thought , and had an awesome dinner at an outdoor restaurant , great food , live music (please turn down that mic) and I got to see his cool lake property .
He is a success in every way ...good dad committed to teaching his sons to be men , has a really nice wife, owns a business , has grown it , has toys and a second house , knows where he is in life and who he is .
It's made me think differently about the forum and appreciate the online world a little more .
I know if we were all in a room , there would be differences , and we all wouldn't start a great big bromance, but I guarantee you there are some people on here you need to meet if you can .
We really do have a good forum , because we are all on here for good reasons...to learn and share being one of those.

, guy cost me a bundle but I’m eternally grateful nonetheless, it’s been a great ride so far. I’ve met a few others over there as well & here I’ve been fortunate enough to meet
