Thought I would drop an intro so you'd have fair warning.
I'm a chubby old Irish woman with an ugly little Jeep. I'm an outspoken, beer drinkin', straight shootin', conservative rabble rouser with a sarcastic sense of humor. Most of the folks I ride with call me the Trail Mom.
I'm a native Californian who moved to Tennessee almost 7 years ago. My husband, affectionately known as OBM (On Board Mechanic) is a retired heavy equipment mechanic/operator out of Local 3 on the west coast. He's the one who makes the payments, does the welding & wrenching and keeps the maintenance up on my ugliest child so that I can go play on the rocks now and then. I'm not a mall crawler and I don't do heels or lipstick either
I bought my 06 Rubi brand new. It's my 4th Jeep. Love the darn thing. I've had two CJs and *urp* a KJ (very briefly) and a few other 4x4 vehicles in my lifetime.
This rig is the first one I have ever really wheeled with. There used to be the occasional mud hole, logging road, water crossing or hill climb, but nothing like the challenges I enjoy these days.
My Jeep "Ajax" has a couple of double ended, triple chrome plated flammywhammers zip tied to it so that it doesn't bump it's butt when we go clod hoppin through the boonies.
Like almost any Jeep lover, mine is an ongoing project. It will probably never be finished but gettin there is half the fun.
Here's a photo of the little guy...
Yea, I know , t's a complete poser shot. We had just done a JJ conversion on the control arms, were testing it out. The stump out back is our version of a redneck RTI ramp
I'm looking forward to reading through your forum to see what I can see!
I'm active on several Jeep related forums, same handle everywhere I go.
Nicetameetcha!
