Another new guy...
« on: October 13, 2009, 03:52:38 AM »
Hey everyone,

  My name's Mike Jenning and I'm new to the area and the JT 4x4 experience, and relatively new to the jeep community.  I'm originally from South Bend, IN (go Notre Dame) and I'm currently living groton for work.  I bought my 1990 maroon XJ about 18 months ago from a kid who thought the transmission was shot.  I paid him 100 bucks for it(hence my screenname).  Turns out it just needed a new fluid line and a lotta fluid (it was BONE DRY).  It has a 4.5" lift with 33" mud-terrains.  My plan is to drive the shit out of it and upgrade whatever parts I demolish with bigger and better stuff until it's an unstoppable machine that goes anywhere and everywhere.  Shouldn't take too long right? lol
  Some of you have already met me; I work with flex and rode with him on the Mabell run and I attended the meeting on the 10th where some of you got a taste of my 4 bean chili. I hope to get to know all of you well, learn as much as possible, and get more opportunities to destroy my XJ!  It needs to go through some "character-building exercises"!
  I'll get some pictures of my XJ up here soon.
