Any Jeep owners here?

[TGO David]

I've been helping put together a forum for Jeep owners in Tennessee. I know I've seen some folks with Jeeps in their avatars or who have mentioned owning Jeeps in threads here, so I figured I'd throw this out there to anyone who wants to take a look. The basic idea is to give Tennessee folks a local rallying point for organized events, trail rides, get togethers, wrench parties, etc.

If you're into that sort of thing, head over to Tennessee Jeeps and take a look. It's been up and running for a few days now but the group hasn't been promoting it very much yet. Some traffic would be nice.

The format of the forum will look pretty familiar to you. It was easier to just re-work and re-use than come up with something entirely different.

I took a look at the member list. It looks like I'm the sixth member.

I'll sign up even though I've got a pavement only WK.

[TGO David]

Well as I said, the group involved hasn't really started promoting it any yet. I think it will pick up quite a bit of activity as time passes.

I'd like to go to lurk. I don't have one now but love them. I've had 2 of the old V-6's , 2of the old CJ-5 renegades and a grand cherokee

[Mr. Brooks]

I would check it out but I'm considering selling my truck and getting out of the offroad scene. I just don't have the time or money for it anymore.

Do Raptors count

I told my son about it. I think he has signed up. He is all about the jeeps.

I just registered. We are on the third Jeep in the family. The wife drives a 2005 Rubicon Unlimited Sahara Edition. She won't drive, is not interested in anything else. We got into Jeeps looking for something to tow behind the motorhome and she won't leave.

Highly successful site, look below. The owner of that site started a TN site as he had plans to move here but that fell through and his TN site failed.

I do believe a well run TN site will do well.

Did I see a lighter version option there like you gave us here?

I built up a '76 CJ5. fuel injected 304, disc drakes, full roll cage, ... Sold it when the gun bug bit me. Been thinking of working on CJ7.... I'm in.

Do Jeep Cherokees count? We've got a 1999, 2000 and a 2001. They run and run and run. Used to have a 1994 and a 1995, I think a church lady is still driving one.

Used to have a 1951 Willys CJ-3A flat-fendered jeep and wish I still did. My son signed the title over to his fiancee when he went into the Marines . . . and clearly she ain't his fiancee anymore, but she still has the Jeep. It's probably rotting in a Nebraska cornfield now. Oh well. I'll get another some day.

[oldogy]

Not to change the flavor of the thread but I've seen some very capable Cherokees. Lock 'em, lift 'em, add tires and they'll go.

A GOOD TENNESSEE SITE IS TENNESSEE OFF ROAD. GREAT GUYS ON THERE.

[Wyldk2]

Well, as a former owner of a 1986 jeep cherokee( even stock it would go about anywhere). I'd be interested in at least helping out when i can. Maybe help organize some trail rides someday. All i have off-road capable is my 1998 Dodge Durango and my 2008 can-am Outlander max( but it's about as big as a Willy's jeep).

Look into TOHVA (Tennessee-Off-Highway-Vehicle-Association).

[Guest mcgyver210]

I am already a member of a few communities since I have been trying to learn as much as I can about the two new to us jeeps we bought because of our son wanting one.

1988 YJ in good shape & 1994 YJ in not so good shape.

[ShamGlock]

I would love to join up. But I was forced into selling my .81 Renegade 2 years ago and seeing other people with them still hurts my heart. I really miss my CJ!

[Hitower]

Signed Up!

While I am not a heep guy I do offroad just in a Ford. Good luck with the new site, it will be hard to get it going good with that other offroad forum for Tennessee.

[Lumber_Jack]

Sold it when I got the "marriage" bug. Had a lot of fun, and when she graduates from Med School I will have another

Dang Neil. That things is beautiful.

I almost bought one a few months ago but I really can't see myself having one as a daily driver down here in this terrible traffic.

Yeah they can be very cumbersome in heavy traffic, but a lot of fun otherwise. If you decide to buy one that has been lifted, PM me before you do and I'll give you some tips and pitfalls to avoid. Don't ask me how I know

[Guest db99wj]

David, you already make it hard to get any work done....

[TGO David]

TOR is so unpredictable. Up, down, online, offline... I don't think it will be a problem getting a small Jeep community going for the Tennessee folks. None of us over there have any misconceptions about the fact that the site will remain small. JK-Forum.com, WranglerForum.com and others have the market cornered for big sites.

I spend about 33% of my internet time on JK-Forum, 33% here, and the remaining everywhere else.

Another competitor for this site will be local Jeep club sites, like midsouthjeeps.com (The Memphis area Jeep club site). I've been a member in the past, but not active. Unfortunately, like shooting, my free time is very limited and I don't get to go out and enjoy either very much.

[Capbyrd]

If TN Jeeps wants to grow, they will need to be active offline as much as online. That is why MidSouth Jeeps has been so successful. Actually, they should probably hit us the MSJ guys to piggy back on some runs.
