[bugs713]

Just got a 1997 4.0L TJ Jeep, looking for the best online/local parts places, forums and Jeep people.

Thanks!

AZVJC. Arizona virtual jeep club. Great people and lots of info. Also the have a forum that organizes jeep outings. Great club. Good choice on the jeep by the way. I had a 98 TJ and I kick myself all the time for selling it

Awesome, thanks!

Just registered with AZVJC!
I have done $2600 in repairs to my F150 in the last 10 months and the the compressor went out last week just in time for summer... Done spending $$$$ on that Ford!

Got $3k trade in for the ford and always wanted a Jeep, now I have one.
It needs bigger tires, but the tires on there now are new, so will probably wait. Looking for a soft top as it did not come with one.

I'm dieing to go climb a mountain

Not a Jeep. Absolutely not capable of offroading, but if you see me on the highway in your Jeep please don't flatten me

I like the Smart cars! Almost bought one 6 years ago, but bought a C3 Vette instead:hmm3: I only harass smart cars when I'm in my C3 because I get 8-10 MPG and you get like 100 MPG....haha

I haven't been wheeling in years since I had my GMC in the 80's.
Do you still have a Jeep Adam? If not, we'll take mine. Where are some good places to break it in, but not break it?

 

[ademster]

Alot of places we can go.

simple trails to extreme, to just a nice cruz.

We used to do all the table mesa trails. Lots of fun places to wheel out there.

Everyone tells me to drop a motorcycle engine in it haha, it's a lease, but I plan on purchasing a new electric version when the lease is up

1995 4.0 manual YJ here. Only a 2" lift though.

The Apache Trail to Roosevelt Lake would be a fun drive in a Jeep. I've drove my monte carlo through there a few times but a jeep would be a more appropriate vehicle.

Use to drive a 93' YJ, miss that truck everyday! It was my first vehicle in high school, had a 4in. lift when I got it, decided to put the springs on top of the axles and got another 4". At that point the truck drove like complete crap, would vibrate all crazy on the highway because the driveshaft yoke was holding on by about an inch of thread. Did sway bar disconnects and let me tell you, that thing could flex. I was always more into rock crawling than trail riding tho. That 4.0L in 4Low was a torquey mother!
