Found the site while looking for a review on Air Ride Tech's Airpod and found that they are a sponser? for this board.
Anyways, I'm Matt, 22, IL/WI area, just started working at a Chevy/Toyota dealer as a technician. Liking it so far. I go to car shows often. Prefer older/custom vehicles. Going to Carlisle All Truck show in August! Can't wait for that!!
Vehicle background. My first car was a 93 Jeep Cherokee, Bought for $100, pretty solid car til i got a hold of it. Put a 5" lift, 33's and took it to the trails

How it died, it was going real good at the beginning, but the bed of the small creek when from flat and hard, to slanted and sandy rock and it just sucked me in. motor, trans, axles all took in water :(

As for my vehicles, I currently own a 97 Jeep Cherokee as my project vehicle. Base model, 4.0L, 4wd, Auto, 150K, boought for 1,800, then i swaped on my suspension i had on the 93.

still need to cut its fenders, addresss some drive line issues, rear shocks, and some other mickey mouse stuff before it gets trail-able.
I Dail drive a 95 Grand Cherokee, stock, 165K, 4.0L, and use it to tow dolly my trail rig to and from the trails. It does ok.
