Anyone know of decent trails in the Rockville, MD area?
donb@nctimes.net
My name is Rob and I live about 5 minutes outside New York City. I make often trips to upstate New York where I go hunting and camping in the catskill mountains. My last car was a chevy blazer which was fun on some of the trails but was limited as to which trails I could take. So I decided a Wrangler was for me.
Let me tell you about my Wrangler. Its a 2003 Inca Gold Wrangler X. Equipped with 5 speed Manual transmission, Steering group, convenience group, smokers group, wheel plus group, Full doors, air conditioning, Fog lights, Side Steps, and tow hooks.
I plan on putting up some pictures on my website once I pick her up. In the mean time if there are any motorcycle riders out there I have pictures of my Yamaha V-star on my website. The address is http://www.kewlrobd.com
Right now the entire site is dedicated to my bike but I plan on building a personal site that will eventually link to a site about my Wrangler and one about my V-star.
Over the holidays, my family & I (3 adults, 1 child, 1 teenager) drove from our home in Maryland to upstate NY (Poughkeepsie area) - marvelous ride, everyone was comfortable.
Look forward to being in this forum.
It is an auto, inline 6, olive green and has 36K miles on it. I want to post a picture of it on the photo gallery but don't know how. If anyone can tell me how to post an image I will.
Planning on a 2 inch suspension lift soon.
Also, please come to the Wrangler Message Board here in the Jeep Owners Club and take part in the discussions.

Have you hugged your Jeep today?
I'm experiencing a strange random starting phenomenon which I've described in a note posted in the repair section. If anyone has experienced the same symptoms, I'd like to hear from you.
See ya

ANY HELP WITH THE FOLLOWING WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
I just puchased a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee TSI with 70832 miles on it. It is black with black or VERY dark gray leathers seats. The front drivers side seat cushion is showing wear and I would like to replace just that bottom seat cushion. Does anyone know how to find this item? Where? Does any one know how difficult it is to physically replace it. How do I do it? I'm not very mechanical. Also the right front Infinity Gold speaker makes a vibration when the bass is turned up. Can I purchase a replacement for this? Where? Is it difficult to physically replace? How do I do it?
ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Thank you in advance for your kind consideration.

I have recently subscribed to this list. It is nice to know that there are many Jeep fans. I live in Mozambique-- Africa. I own a 98 Jeep Cherokee Country. I rolled over with the car recently and the sides and front end are badly damaged. I am looking for a website that could help me on parts and stuff. I also tried to remove the radiator, got the water pipes loose, but could remove the oil pipes that lead to the gearbox. Does any one have any ideas? I really miss this baby and would like to have it run.
All the best.
My name is Lynsey. I am a first time Jeep owner and loving it. A month ago today I bought my 00 Jeep. I live in the state of Maine and we get our fair share of snow, the Jeep has been great!
Will see ya there.

What is a gear box and does this sound like something that could happen?
Thanks
I was looking for some advice on what car I should purchase. The two options are 1. a '97 White Grand Cherokee Limited with 103k miles and all options link title or 2. a Black '00 Cherokee Limited with 103k miles seen here link title which i actually talked the guy down to $6,000 for. I am a college student living in Pittsburgh and drive home on the turnpike about 240 miles back home every 3 weeks or so. I was just wondering what in your opinion the better car for me would be in terms of ride quality and mechanical reliability, etc. Does anyone have experience driving with these cars on a long term level?
If so, I would really appreciate your advice.
Thanks in advance,

To address a specific question asked above by rivermo22: You have what is commonly called 'death-wobble' and is usually brought on when a lifted XJ's bushings & suspension driveline angles have enough slop in them that they can't keep things properly aligned once the wobble starts. As you've found out - you basically have to screech to a near halt to regain control of the Cherokee when this happens. This can also happen to stock / un-lifted XJ's!
While your wheels may have contributed to the problem showing up they were very likely not the cause! (They're not selling aftermarket items, they're in the business of selling you OEM replacement parts.)
Since some countries refer to different parts with different terms we need to clarify something:
If they're trying to sell you a transmission (gear-box) then tell them to stick it in their ear.
If they're trying to sell you a steering box then that COULD be a PART of the problem... but not likely the root cause.
To all here: I've been an XJ owner for several years now & I have learned a great deal about these great vehicles at JeepsUnlimited & the NAXJA Jeep XJ forums (just google for those). You can search the topic threads there for more details on most any problem and there are plenty of people there who are willing to help.
If I can help any of you I'll gladly do so - you can post back here or to my email form on my website dedicated to the Jeep Cherokee XJ's Another Freakin' Jeep Cherokee Website
I deal primarily with the RENIX motored XJ's but will gladly point you in the right direction if I cannot answer your question.
I love my Jeep like you but to all Jeep owners there are many Jeeps that when pushed beyond their limits suffered rollovers or worse. Someone in a new Rubicon went over the edge of Black Bear Pass and killed the owners.
The bottom line is, Love your Jeep but be careful.
