Not really a new member, but . . .
« on: August 21, 2012, 12:58:33 PM »
I'll get the ball rolling here since most of you don't know who I am.
I joined over a year ago, but wasn't very active as I don't own a 3A. At the time I owned one whole 3B and two half 3Bs. I've since passed the two partials on to a friend and bought a Wagon as well.
I joined mostly to offer some 3A parts for sale, but have begun following the forum more closely because of the good info here.
Well, then the forum "buyout" began to happen and Bill made an appeal for help so, being the computer geek that I am, I offered to help with moderator chores.
So here I am as a "newbie" in a way and also a forum Administrator. Go figure.
I'll throw in a picture of most of the current Jeep stable for your enjoyment. Also to practice posting pictures.
There's another Jeep not in the picture - our older daughter drives a '99 Cherokee.

Glad to be a member of this group.

Glad to have you and your valuable skills. Looking at your Jeep lineup, the red cost 20 times less then the burgandy, 20 times less expensive to repair, and will no doubt last 10 times longer.... progress!

Yup, thanks, John.. I really appreciate the help, especially lately with the 12 hour days we have been having at work.

And guess what.. John found out for me how to move a post, so we might actually put the project posts in teh project thread section soon.
