Looking to hook up with some beginning to intermediate off-roaders in the San Diego area.

I am a newb to jeeping but not to common sense. I bought a jeep to try, and if I like it I will buy another and give this one to my daughter.

I am truly a quick learner and looking for other beginners or some old salt that is just willing to share the wisdom of their experience.

I would like to go jeeping at least once a month and of course more during the learning stages.

Currently, fire roads are all I have found around hear and a few construction areas.

What I am proposing is that all the way south newbs UNITE... if we can find some old salts to come along we can all learn faster. But I say lets get this thing rolling...

WHO IS WITH ME....?

Current jeep is

88 YJ
31x10.5.15 BFG ATs
I6 258 carbed
Pretty good condition but I am replacing all the parts that should have been replaced ages ago. (Hoses/clamps/Top etc...)
(The jeep sat for 3 years so I'm shaking out all the cobwebs...)

Cross Post:

I met with Barb Takahashi a few minutes ago. She is the Senior Administrative Secretary for Cuyamaca College. Very nice lady. She made a few phone calls for me to Congressman Duncan Hunters office and to the college security folks. Then informed me that parking will be free for those attending the meeting.

She didn't know off the top of her head how many seats were available in the two conference rooms. So I suppose it's possible that folks will be standing. I'll know more tomorrow after I speak with her associate Pam who is incharge of the Student Center Facility rooms. We will basically have two joining conference rooms in the "I" building on the second floor.

If at all possible, I would try to park in Student Lot #1 and walk towards the Student Center, "I" building.

Here's a link to the campus map for those who may have missed it:

I get to smog the jeep tomorow morning.

I already know im not gonna pass.
Go to a No Pass No Pay place and have them do a pre-test first, you'll get an idea of what you'll need to do.

Just posted some pics from yesterday:

And Jason, checked on the tires, $118 installed when I got them so the price is probably still close but you'll have to search around for them or get a store manager who knows what they're doing, if possible, to order them for you. Spend the $9.46/tire and get the warranty, good for life, free repair for any reason, free rotation, pro-rate erplacement and all that

Well, I'm happy to report I did not get recalled back to active duty. It is my IRR (Inactive Ready Reserve) annual requirement. This is the first one I've been sent even though I've been out for longer than a year. Anyway, all is well!
First thing you'll need is a :hahaha: high and tight

and I thought I could get a Hemi out of this, drat

Why is that??
You know, the camaraderie, esprit de corp, marching around with a bunch of Marines, saying aye-aye sir and not feeling silly doing it, making fun of swabs, cool uniforms and not having to worrying about what to wear to work, playing with guns, oops, I mean rifles, a steady paycheck, cheap gas on base, the exchange, medical care and 30 days paid vacation a year what could be better?

:laugh:

I'm starting to build a laundry list of things i need to do on my jeep. Change brake fluid, change differential gear oil, body lift, change serpentine belt, change transmission fluid, do something about my front springs. i'm also realizing how little money i have. I got my work cut out for me at the next party.

Jeff, when you end up geting new tires keep me on the list for your old tires. Wouldn't mind taking them off your hands.

I'm not sure if i can make it this weekend, also due to short funds.
