I'm on several forums but I only starting reposting to a few of them. Jeepforums.com is the most recent one that I rejoined. Seems have a lot of new people there with many basic questions. There are some who are more technical and then there are many who follow the crowd. Don't ever talk bad about the 8.8 or lockright.
Own a 2.5L and you'll get little help. Everyone's going to jump on you and say to swap it. I don't like how TJ's and YJ's are seperated though. There is a lot of similar questions asked in each.
Then there's Jeepaholics.com. I know the owner so I helped him out by answering tech questions. Answered so many that I held the highest poster slot till people started thinking that higher post counts mean something. Still, there is a family atmosphere there. Some may even remember 4bangers was hosted there for a while.
I joined jeepsunlimited a long time ago. I used to talk with the owner on Jeep-L but haven't heard from him in ages. It's a big forum with a lot of people. Not much tech goes through there. If you want a groupbuy or want to sell something, go there.
I've also joined Quadratech's forums. There ok but again a lot of basic questions. Since it's a store owned forum, people will jump on you for recommending another store. I stopped posting there.
Then there's Pirates. If you are new to Jeeps, stay far away from there. There is a lot of tech but you have to wade through all the crap. Lots of sheep with a few really smart guy's. Finding the good threads can be difficult though.
Then there are some mailing lists that I've been a member of at one time or another. Jeep-L was the first. I haven't been there in a while but some of the old timers are still there. Met a lot of Jeepers there too.
Then there was Jeep-Tech. That was spun off from Jeep-L since some people didn't want to hear the every day stuff and only wanted tech. Kind of boring there actually.
So, you can probably see what shaped this forum. It's got tech but it also has some more general stuff. Since the world doesn't revolve around Jeep or actually DC, there is a lot of OT stuff about cars. It's interesting to see what's happening in other area's. But I don't mind basic questions either which is why I asked the question. I just haven't seen any really basic questions asked.
Oh and as for doors, I only recently noticed that the door padels on the TJ are on backwards compared to the CJ and TJ. I had never noticed it until recently.
