Hey everybody, my name is Eric, I live in the Spring area of Texas and I am the proud owner of a 91 XJ. I started listening to the XJTalk podcast on the way back from Florida last week on my wife and I's return from our honeymoon, and decided to sign up for the forum. I'm 20 years years old, I'm a retail parts pro at Advance Auto Parts, I just completed my second year of college and I'm in the Delayed Entry Program, awaiting a ship date in the Air Force. My life plans are to either make a career out of the AF, or after serving for 4-8 years, become a police officer; local at first then later potentially pursue state or federal law enforcement. I also just got married on August 15th so life is quite exciting right now lol. Before the Jeep I was into the lowered scene, and built a 2G Eclipse and a 98 S10, so this is my first 4wd but I can already say I love the lifestyle. I'm definitely a "built not bought" guy so buying a jeep that was already modified was out of the norm, but all of the modifications that were done were things I planned on doing, and given the price and options I couldn't pass it up. The Rig is a 1991 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 with the 4.0 I6 and a 5 speed manual transmission. The XJ came with Steel/Offroad front and rear bumpers, roof rack, 3"/2" "budget boost" lift, aftermarket headlights and 31"Mud Tires on 15" black soft 8s. I personally have trimmed the fenders, smoked the corner lights, upgraded headlights, did budget sway bar disconnects, installed an auxillary fan overide switch, and swapped the bald mud tires for a set of 31" BFG A/T's. My future plans include a winch, more lighting, a snorkel, lockers, CB Radio, a 4.5" lift with 33s, fender flares, axles, on-board air, a sound system and small other mods. It's my daily driver but I've gotten a chance to take it out to Creekside Edge off-road park off 59 in splendora a couple times, and I was very pleased with how capable it is already. I look forward to meeting everybody and my future with XJTalk :)

Here's how I got it.

Welcome to the site, and thanks for listening to the podcast and joining the site. Just curious how did you find out about the podcast?

Thanks for the pictures. I don't know what's up with photobucket but it looks like they've provided you some crappy link information. I think they try to wrap some crap around it so people will go to their site. Basically all you need is from the http:// to the .jpg and you have the and wrapped around that. Anything else isn't needed.

We have a test area that you can play in, also you can hit the [Preview Post] button to double check everything before you post.

Don't hesitate to ask questions, other than fun, that's why we're all here! :xj-red:

Thanks for the welcome! I believe I was linked to the forum while searching for some technical help, after which I did a little snooping around and discovered the podcast. Pictures should be fixed, can you see them?
