Greenhorn in Big Bear

Th organization has taught me alot and I wanted to give back and join up and thought It would be a good idea to intoduce myself. Below is a pic of my '94 and has a 3" Rancho up front and Procomp in the rear. Other things: guage cluster swap; CO2 air tanks; Reciever hitches front and rear with a XD9000i winch; CB; 750 watt inverter; Defender rack; JCR rear bumper w/ tire, gas can, and Hi-Lift mounts on BFG 31's with many more mods to come to make her more trail worthy. I look forward to meeting some new friends and doing some wheeling this week-end. I've got campsite #6 reserved Fri. & Sat. but won't be pitching a tent as I'm bringing my roof-top tent. So I'll have space available for anyone that needs it. Also, my GF bailed on me so I have a shotgun seat available too.

About me, I'm out of Costa Mesa in the O.C. area. I'm a Locksmith, and a General Contractor and kind of a "Jack of all trades" type of person. This is the first organized group I've joined and look forward to some good times ahead. I guess the Dark Side kept calling me :cheers: so here I am!
See you in Big Bear!

Hey fellow Costa Mesan. See you up there.

Hey Chuck,

I'm the guy with the battery shop in Anaheim. You picked up some parts from me a year or so ago. PM me, I might have some general contractor and locksmith work available!

Thanks,
Grant

PS - enjoy the trip

Welcome to the redside

Hey Chuck,
Welcome, and looking forward to meeting you, and other new faces.
I'll have a locksmith question of sorts for ya. I lost the key to the rear hatch on my 88 XJ. Can it be removed, and rekeyed without killing the hatch?

See ya, and will get my answer in Big Bear.

Welcome Chuck..


Is that a aftermarket "4x4" sticker in back??

See you at BB..

LOL, Oh man. if only I had been thereI heard about your fiasco. Sorry I wasn't there to help out when it blew up on you:explosion. Next time, though. Sounds like I'll have to give you guys some pointers & bypass methods when I'm not around just to get you by (instead of paying those big bucks) and call it "Jeepsmith 101" :laugh:.
