Hey there folks. I've been n off again on again member of this board for a few years.
Our jeep is a '98 SE with the 5spd. The motor and tranny is stock, but it's got 33x10.5 BFG MTs, 4.88 gears, Tera QDFTs an M8000 winch and  a homemade rear bumper and TC. Ford 8.8 in the garage, but will probably do a Super35 with Detroit in a couple of months.

The kicker is that my wife is the off roader. I just get us to the trail head and she takes over. I'm on kid duty when wheelin (9 yr old son, 3 1/2 yr old daughter). The family that wheels together, stays together.

Hello fellow 2.5L underdogs hahaha. (I dont consider us underdogs, just not as fast  :dance: )

I recently aquired my fisrt jeep; owned by me, paid for by me, insured by me. I grew up with Jeeps in my family and I finally got this one:

2.5L I4 2001 Wrangler TJ, soft tan top, full steel doors, 5 spd., patriot blue. 31" tires, 15" black steel wheels (black on black), 2.5" daystar spacer lift, skyjacker RS6000 shocks.

I bought the Jeep off of my brother who is now in the Air Force and has to travel a lot. So a Jeep is not the best long-distance travel vehicle. He bought a 2006 Saab 93 Sport sedan, Aero Edition (nice car, but blah..a Saab)

Ill post some pics as soon as I can. Im in college at Penn State University. I like to go offroading and my father is rebuilding a CJ2A.

There is my intro...so who wants to help me build my Jeep up?

I guess I'm next. I'm from Ohio and moved to Maine for some time. Now, I'm thankfully back in Ohio. I currently have a 1989 Wrangler that I just put a new motor in (4 cyl of course). When in Maine, I drove a 1953 Willys and a 1978 CJ7 with a fiberglass tub and an AMC 401 (death trap). My only other jeeps were a small block chevy 1972 CJ-5 and about 4 or 5 Cherokees. So, there it is.

Hi all, I live in Colorado aout 30 miles southwest of Denver. I have been following this site for a year now and decided to join in. I have had numerous Jeeps going back to 1979 and now have a 1974 CJ5, pretty much stock except for a snow plow and that is it's only duty. Also have a 1948 CJ2A highly modified for Colorado hard core trail riding with a 6 " lift, SBC, T18, ARB's, 4:1, etc, etc. My main Jeep is a 2006 TJ with the 2.4 and 6 speed manual. I plan on slightly modifying this Jeep for ghost town tours and mild wheeling, that is trails rated at a 6 or below. Hope to meet some of you on the trail.

Hello fellow jeepers

My names Connor i just recently found this site and i think its awsome :thumb: I bought my first jeep a couple months ago, its a 1997 tj 5 speed. I use it mostly as a daily driver but love to take it off the pavement as much as possible. I have a couple mods to it and hopefully more to come.

hello my name is Josh
and I've been addicted to jeeps for about a year.
I'm excited to find a forum that is dedicated to 4 cylinder jeeps! I just bought a 1998 TJ 2.5 about two weeks ago.
I have be reading the post hear since then and the 4banger group seems well behaved and very knowledgeable. I'm the kind of person that once I get a new toy I need to know every thing about it and change every thing about it.
i make my living being an auto body tech so the first thing changed is paint. I spend all day (and I mean ALL day)thinking what color should i paint it, how much lift should I do, How big of tire do I want. Then I decide on something and change my mind 3 or 4 times a day. I really have the jeep thing bad and should really get some help!

oh i also own a 68 dj-5. left hand drive former milatary use as far as i know. it was my first jeep and ive kept it going in one way shape or form since i bought it for $100 almost six years ago. it forunatley has an aluminuim chevy 8 other wise it would still be my daily and i wouldnt have gotten the fine peice of machinery that is my 90. which i will fix soon. any day now. yep.

oh and im engaged and she told me to buy the 68 and the 90. i win.
