New Guy in B'Ham

[Jables01]

Didn't see anywhere else to do an intro type thread. So hope this works. Names Justin. Not new to the forum.. Have been lurking around for a year or so and have since lost my old screen name. Im about to hopefully purchase a 99 XJ this upcoming weekend. Have had a couple jeeps in the past but am finally to a point where i may be able to afford another..
Thanks again everyone for the wealth of info on here. Have enjoyed every day here.

[Mr.Shrek]

Welcome to the Jungle....oh wait, wrong line. Welcome to the group and back into a jeep.

[High2by]

Welcome back. Once a Jeepaholic always a Jeepaholic. It's not personal it's just the facts!!

So very true.. Have been keeping my eye open for a good buy for a while and i think now is the time..

[Ghost]

welcome back!

[DrRandy]

COOL!! Welcome back, Bham here also. What part of town? 459/Acton Rd area for me. Another guy on here ChuckstrPT is pretty close to me. Did you get the XJ/still thinking about it? I hope so! Me and ol' Chuckstr need some wrenching partners! He's pretty weak and OLD!!
Take care hope to hear from you soon

BTW: There was a red 89' for sale up the road from me 4-5 days ago. Haven't seen it lately. D44, IIRC 155K, Interior pretty rough, also had a Haynes manual in the back...that could be good or bad! I stopped and looked at it but no one was home to drive it/look under the hood. Slight fluid leaks on the driveway....oil. I was going to post it here if it was worth it. I THINK it was either $1,500 or $1,800. Let me know and i'll investigate futher.
I think that's high....my 91 was $500

[redneck]

Well shoot, keep me in the loop and Id be more than happy to come on up and help you two wench! ChuckstrPT is pretty weak and old :moon: ! Oh and Jables01, welcome aboard!

[~Spanky~]

HI ya..:sunshine:

[Jables01]

Awesome.. 459/Acton for me as too. Small world isn't is. Im still trying to get rid of my daily so i can pick one up but if you come across something feel free to forward me some information.
As for needing a wrenching partner just let me know! Id be down for working anytime.

Thanks again guys for the warm welcome!

[DrRandy]

Sure thing.....got your PM, that's pretty funny about your location. I guess ChuckstrPT is working hard, haven't seen him in a few weeks. He usually will defend himself on the boards when we pick on him!!
Keep us updated on that Craigslist we'll go check it out with ChuckstrPT...he's like Mythbusters...."he's what you call expert"

[Jables01]

Awesome.. Im down whenever you guys are. Still waiting to hear when he has time to meet up and let me take a look at it.

[ChuckstrPT]

Me and ol' Chuckstr need some wrenching partners! He's pretty weak and OLD!!
:scared:Old....hmmm...gettting there.....Weak....hmmm...maybe more of an endurance thing....12hrs of wrenching did take it's tol.

I THINK it was either $1,500 or $1,800. Let me know and i'll investigate futher.
I think that's high....my 91 was $500
Yeh, 500 bucks...That needs to be qualified....did ya tell them that your mommy took care of it for the first 18 years of it's life....:gag:
As for expert....I don't think so....maybe just more experience...oh, wait, you did mention old didn't you:shhh:

Back on Topic.....Welcome to the krew...good to have another XJ nearby! Maybe it's getting time for a Meet and Greet in The 'ham?? OR more Wrenchfests:eek:

I dont think it's going to be the last weekend in August like above, ChuckstrPT's tied up that Sat. Unless he can get free??? The next weekend is labor day weekend AND OPENING DAY DOVE SEASON!
So right now its still in the planing stage. What do you guys think??
