About
Us (
that really should be About
Me
)
Im
just a guy who loves Jeeps. I belong to my local
Jeep club, offroad when I can, and my last Jeep
was a ratty, old, 1989 Comanche. Prior to that,
a 1994 Cherokee dripped in the driveway. Both
were lifted at least 4 inches and had 31"
tires, etc., etc.
The
Comanche actually had a 4.5" RockKrawler
lift up front, a SOA in the rear and Bilstein
shocks. Excellent, excellent truck offroad.
Part
of the reason for this site is to generate some
money to keep this ancient rig running - I hate
rust
and slowly but surely its all
being cut off and welded up again. It just takes
time & money.
In
2004 I ran for club President - lost by one
vote
That was fine, though, as it allowed
me to start a non-profit group (comprised of
Jeep owners) which volunteers its time
& Jeeps to drive doctors & nurses into
the local hospitals when storms shut our city
down.
Last
winter we ran over 600 local health care workers
around town during 4 different call-outs. Our
volunteers KICK-ASS! We got great TV coverage
for our club and a commendation from the Provincial
Legislature.
Heres
that little endevour - Severe
Weather Assitance Team
Bottom
line is Im willing to do the work to make
sure our community values our Jeep club.
This
website really started when I got sick of seeing
new folks in posting forums constantly told
to Go Search when they asked questions.
I
mean, werent we all in that position once?
Whats the big deal about just answering
the damn question?
So
I started collecting information, writing articles,
etc. It evolved into the 300+ pages that is
ajeepthing.com.
What
else
Oh
yeah - Ive written a few articles on Jeep
events and Land Rover events for CAN4X4 magazine
and the old JeepWorld magazine in the UK.
And there you have it - Im a regular guy
like most other Jeepers. I have a wife, three
dogs, like beer and am generally a car-nut.
