new here
New here, and just wanted to say hello.
I just picked up a (new to me) 1988 Grand Wagoneer. It needs some TLC and some minor things (i hope they are minor) to get it to a point where it is really driveable. It runs like a top and drives good and shifts smooth.

That's OK, as long as she rides well.

Yes, you certainly picked an appropriate screen name to be an FSJ owner.

Welcome aboard.
I've had mine for a little over a year now but have really only been driving it for about 2 months. My wag only needed slight adjustments but I broke enough things along the way and am a slow learner, so it took longer than it should have. There's nothing more frustrating than sitting in NOVA traffic with an overheating truck that runs like crap.
These things truly are fun to drive once you get them tuned up. Best of luck  . Can't wait to see the pics.

Cool someone else from NOVA. This is actually my new toy so i can sell my 2001 TJ and buy something more daily driver oriented.
We should hook up sometime, if there is enough people maybe a NOVA meet and greet. |
