Title: hey i am new at offroading
Post by: stsubs on June 07, 2008, 04:53:07 AM

 My name is Michael and I am 20.  I am from MI and just got in to the navy.  Offroading has been a dream of mine for my whole life.  So I just got my first  Jeep (1994 YJ with a 4" lift and with 33x12.50 m/t baja claws.  So I have been looking around for a way to get good tip on how to offroad the right way so I found out about this club from Doball and RnnngTrails.  I am vary in to the club.  I think this is the best way for me to lean the ropes.

What's up Michael, and welcome fellow Mid-westerner. Best way to learn is to do. Find out the glorious limitations of the YJ. You have to find your own way of doing things. There are people that finness through the hard stuff, and there are people that throttle through it. Others have a happy medium, So best of luck to you. Any questions Just give a holler. I probably will never meet you face to face, but am willing to help a fellow square.
