Howdy All,
The last couple of years resulted in a few major, unexpected life changes and I found myself with a lot of time on my hands. So, doing what any sane adult seeking a low-stress lifestyle would do, I bought an old Jeep. What could go wrong? I’m fairly new to Jeeping, but not to outdoor fun and mechanical pursuits and I’m having a good time. Been lurking a bit here and there and have already benefitted from a wealth of information on this forum, so today I signed-up. Looks like a good bunch of folks around here.
This is Bernice, my ’03 (4.0, auto). My daughter named it, but that’s a whole story for another time. I call this my 23-year-old high maintenance girlfriend (accurate). I wouldn’t call it pristine, but I found it in remarkable shape and bought it from the original owner with 120k miles. I’m not ruling out changes in the future, but right now it’s still primarily stock and I currently have no ambitions about lifting or changing much mechanically. I switched out the wheels, replaced the top, and I’m picking through it one check engine light at a time. It’s more like therapy than work.
I’m looking forward to hanging out and learning.
