New to Ft Worth Monday, January 02, 2012 6:01 PM (permalink)
Just moved here fron El Paso so new to the area but not new to wheeling.  Been doing it almost 30 years now first starting in a 45 MB, then to a 67 Commando, then 85 CJ-7 (which I do still have), an 08 JKU (totalled in accident in 10/11) and now an 11 JKU.  I do generally wrench on my own junk as well so can bring something to the table there as well.  Looking for a new group to wheel with since I generally have wheeled with Military Jeepers and there isn't a chapter here (yet).
 
So, just a noob to the area lookin for a new group.  Hoping to find some decent wheeling soon.
 
Here is a vid of my 08 in Moab last summer.

Thanks to Mike and Jake for turning me on to this site.  Oops, said Jake, meant Kent.  Sorry, I'm bad with names.  Don't have a clue where Jake came from.

    Nice Jeep and nice driving! You made that trail look like a breeze.
    Welcome to the club. I recommend coming out to a meeting. The next one is on the 13th at El Fenix. All the details are on the home page =)
    If it moves and shouldn't: Duct Tape & Zip Ties
    If it doesn't move and should: WD-40 & a hammer.

          I plan on going.  That was Hell's gate on Hell's Revenge and it's really not that difficult.  Just use some common sense driving and it was a cake walk.  As you can see in the vid, no spotter.  Not like that all too common roll over of the guy folloing his spotter then going over backwards after loosing sight of em.

            Thanks.  I know I only have a few and those are packed away somewhere.  If I come accross them I will definately share.  She wasn't much to look at but sure was fun.

              Thanks.  Wish I still had here.  That was my 08 that was totalled in Oct.  The 11 JKU i'm now driving isn't nearly so cool, or capable.
