    new from the Storrs/UConn area

    Hey all! I'm new here, and from Coventry, CT. I'm a commuter student at UConn, and have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee. Unfortunately its stock right now, besides 30" tires and a flowmaster. I hate being a broke college kid. I've always loved offroading, even though my experience is more with quads. I saw one of the SiSOffroad videos on youtube and thought it looked like an awesome group of people! I'm a member of Jeepforum.com as well as NAXJA. I'm currently on my third Cherokee, since the others were totalled by dumb drivers who go too fast in the snow.

    So far this site seems great and I hope to meet lots of new people! If anyones ever near my side of town give me a shout!

            I'm in the area every once in a while, either hangin with friends at uconn or going up to stafford for a race.
            No worries, I'm not actually back, I'm just reminiscing about the old days.

                    nice! I'll have to stop there. My name is Josh, I'm 20, my XJ is fairly easy to spot. Its silver, has loud exhaust, and KC daylighters with the smiley face covers. As for plans, most of my money goes to fixing the jeep. I'm working out the bugs though. I plan on going with the Iron Rock Offroad 3" kit and getting some 245/75/R16s. Just to keep it a good daily driver, since I drive up huge hills commuting to school. I currently have 30" tires on my 16" Icon wheels. I planned on getting the lift this summer but ended up needing a new head (Curse you 0331 head) and new ball joints and brakes. I also had surgery so that prevented me from doing some stuff to the jeep for awhile.

                    I'll definitely need help installing the lift, which is part of the problem. Not sure if I need to save up and have a shop do it, or if there are any around? I have a garage, but only basic and I mean really basic hand tools. In highschool I had a mechanics class and helped restore an old tractor I had, so I'm not afraid of wrenching, just don't have the right tools.

                      I'm sure between three or four people on here, we could accommodate any tool you might end up needing...

                              I'm a Natural Resources major. I like doing stuff outside lol. I think when I finally get a lift I'll just have a wrenching party and provide pizza in exchange for help.
