New Member from New Zealand by way of Maryland

  • Kia Ora - Good afternoon


    I wanted to introduce myself as a real newbie.... I'm on my second Jeep but first time that I will be able to start learning what my jeep can do. I used to have a 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport which I loved. However, it was my main form of transport and although the engine kept on going, everything around it was falling apart.


    I finally bit the bullet and bought myself Jeep Rubicon Unlimited and very happy that I have. I get the best of all worlds in this beauty! Enough room for myself, fiance and dog plus tent, chilly bin (cooler), clothes and whatever we happen to be doing - hunting, fishing and I'm hoping to add 4-wheeling...


    My next move is to see if i can get a 101 course very soon as I signed up for Topless for Tata's run this year! Nothing like jumping in right?


    ha ha
    Hope to see y'all over the coming year.

  • Welcome! I know jeeps can handle any terrain... but how are you gonna get it from new zealand to here? :razz: good to see new people in the forums.

    Anytime you take your 20+ year old jeep apart plan on fixing more them you intended.


  • Glad you found us Carla! Everyone, Carla is a hoot, and is a great addition to the Jeep Family AND to DEJA! She's already signed up for TaTa's.
    Welcome Carla!

  • Welcome to the fray! :innocent: I've had my Jeep for about 3 years and am still trying to get her trail worthy.... well maybe it's more getting me trusting her enough that she's trail-worthy. :doh:

    Your life is made up of 2 dates and a dash... make the most of the dash!

  • Thanks for the warm welcome - its certainly appreciated!


    So my fiance doesnt have to work weekends through the month of May so I'm looking to see if i can get my feet wet.


    What do you suggest as my first run?


    Is there a calendar put together someplace other than just posts in the forum perhaps?
