Found this forum via the rock auto newsletter today. Sure looks like I might be the first WK owner here... So for the intro, below, is "Rikki Tikki Tavi". Rikki is my 05 grand Cherokee, Laredo, 4.7L. Rightly named due to rickety squeaking bushings and a ticking engine due to an exhaust manifold bolt that keeps coming loose. Over the last 5 years or so, we have been though a lot together. I haven't let a mechanic touch Rikki except to put new tires on and do alignments. Rikki is sporting an OME HD lift with MLL's in the rear, and a nice set of Rubi take-offs from a '15 wrangler. I've learned how to do brakes/calipers, swap all fluids, install suspension, and so much more. Look forward to talking with everyone. Let me know if anyone in my area needs a hand or wants to wheel. I'm always up for helping others (and learning new things) and hitting a trail.

Welcome to the forum Bensylrm.
Seems you're a handy guy to know with all that knowledge.

Thanks everyone! Unfortunately, I don't get out much, or nearly as much as I wish I could. Mostly just local paths, farming areas. Would like to find some people in the Illinois/Indiana area going to the badlands park in Attica, IN. I wouldn't discriminate if an outside the area group sent me an invite to go. As long as I have the time... That's the biggest hurdle.

It's a blast. 77k acres of off road fun.

We are heading back down to Adventure Off-road Park in a couple weeks. Great little place to wheel.

Hope you can make it down sometime.
