New to JF...first Jeep owner. I am in the Austin area for the next couple of months...Is anyone interested in wrenching party/drive up/meet up to discuss all things Jeep over some cold beverages? I need to learn anything I can about Jeeps!!! I have lots of ideas in my mind...I caught the bug.
Let me know..I am willing to drive a bit on the weekends...nothing better to do yet Staying in a hotel in Round Rock. Also, if anyone in the area is working on their Jeep and don't mind me hanging around to help/watch/learn, I would be very greatful!
Ha...I was just talking to my co-worker about that...i have almost decided to keep this one "stock" for my son and buy one to modify for myself...
He (being a Jeep owner also) very enthusiastically encouraged this idea!!
I'm interested in meeting up sometime...It seems most of the more local (to me) Jeepers are busy with school or the like, so nothing I know of happens in the way of meets and such. You'd really think it wouldn't be that hard to get people out for a beer/some food and a little Jeep-speak...lol
I'm willing to drive a wee bit to make a meet out closer to your area (I'm in College Station, roughly 90 minutes away), and will be swapping my engine out and doing other bits rather soon, in the event that qualifies as something you'd like to watch/help on. I, also, need to hit a few salvage yards around Austin soon-ish for Jeep and other parts, so maybe we can do beer/food while I'm out there for that, as well. Any other ideas from anyone?
I'll update in this thread or send the OP a PM once I have some idea on timing for my engine thing and/or when I know I'll be around Austin. Just drop me a PM via the forum if I don't catch a reply here quickly enough sometime!
I would also try make a trip, I am about the same distance as DerGeist and have a buddy with a JK I could probably wrangle, pun intended, along.....since my heep needs the entire steering re-worked. Have the parts just need to log some time in my buddies garage.

Lets do it...I need to go to the J-yard also..I need a new seat and some other junk....WHEN?? I am available next weekend...I will check out some junk during the week next week and scope out some prospects...
So far, I plan to be working on the Heep next weekend. However, I would still be willing to make the jaunt especially to hit up a pick and pull. Need to find some Cavalier seats for a seat mod.
I'd be game as well. San Marcos might be Central if we got SA and Austin folks. I have a parking lot that could accommodate 12-13 with a decent Mexican food restaurant directly next door.
Thanks Keith, that sounds like a good plan..I am getting the Rampage frameless top soon and would love to have help with it, from what I read on the forums, it can be rather difficult to maneuver the first time.
Has a time and/or date been established? The wife mod was inquiring, she is pretty stoked to look at some other Jeeps and visit with other Jeep people. And yes she is aware I refer to her as the wife mod!
Keith, can we meet up in San Marcos on Saturday 30th or Sun. May 1st at your lot/restaurant?

I live in RR but haven't been doing any wrenching lately with my son being born. If there was a MnG up here, I'd probably be able to make it. San marcos is a maybe.
Much as I would love to do something either this weekend or the one on the 30th-1st, it's not looking like I'll have my YJ rolling under her own power by then (am in the middle of my engine swap right now)...Argh, to say the least...lol Unless I get more done on her this coming week than I think will happen, it looks like SAT/SUN (07 or 08 MAY) will be the earliest I can make a meet out that way. Round Rock, Austin, San Marcos would all be fine with me, though.
It sounds like DerGeist is shooting for motor install completion by the 7-8 weekend, how does that work for the rest girljeeper, keith, hawksfan, et. al?
I will be at Plucker's in San Marcos on Saturday at 1pm......If anybody shows up, we can move on from there. If nobody shows, then I will be forced to go to the outlets and shop

New to jeepforum as well. Wish I could make this Saturday but I got a crawfish boil to go to. If anything comes up in the future I will definitely be down to meet up. :newbie:

Having people over this weekend, can't do. weekend of the the 14th I plan on hitting National Topless day on the coast outside of houston. there is a thread on it somewhere I will try and post. If anyone else is wanting to go, last I read there were like 194 RSVP's, we could get a Central Texas convoy heading down there.
im down but we will have to trailer our jeeps.....not sure how that will work
