FitchVA Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 ...that's how these things go...right? :rotfl2: well i've been lurking for a week or so and i thought it'd be a good time to make it official. some of yall might recognize my user ID from many of the other message boards i'm a part of. well as of a week ago, i have reason to join this fine board. i picked up an 89 MJ. as it turns out, one of the members here had looked at it and posted about it. he passed up on it though. she does need some work, but i've been fortunate that in these trying financial times, i've been able to retain my job so i have some money to play with. here's my "stable" The Good '98 XJ/2" home brew bb/'06 moabs/~30x9.50s The Bad '98/way too many things to list The Fugly '89 MJ/stock right now, the white 98 xj is my dd'er and trip vehicle. but i only have a 1.6 mile commute to work. i've been wanting to pick up a "beater" of sorts that i can put the short/hard miles on and save the xj that's in great condition. i'll start another thread in the projects section specific to the MJ that'll have some more pics and my plans for it. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaekl Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Your subject line sounds like a parody on AA. The big difference here is the help is not to "solve" your problem but to help you get in deeper and celebrate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big difference here is the help is not to "solve" your problem but to help you get in deeper and celebrate it. CC is kind of like it's very own 12 step program... Steps to insanity, long hours working on 20 year old trucks and ultimately negative impact... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you have a nice place to work on all of your "Thoroughbreds" :thumbsup: yup, i'm very lucky in that regard. i worked out of a 3rd floor apartment for too darn long. then this small house came up for sale from a friend. and it happened to have the shop in the back yard. it's a little larger than a 2 car garage. but it's got some height :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FitchVA Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 The man with the famous, and trademarked, relay-box. welcome to the club. lol, yup. that's me. i'm still pretty embarrassed about the relay box. that was my first big wiring project. i kinda stuffed everything together and when i got it working, just left it. it's a rat's next in that relay box. i've started on rebuilding it, but stopped to move (that was over a year ago) but haven't gotten back around to finishing it. my wiring, well, it's come a long way. my first project: my last wiring project: that's not the relay box, it's for my switch box: but you can tell my neatness has improved :thumbsup: and on a side note, there's a funny (well at least funny to me) story about the "fitchbox". i can't remember who posted it in NAXJA, but when i saw a thread's title with that in it, i figured, great, the Fitch fuel catalyst people came up with something new. so i didn't even read the thread until it hit 2 pages long :doh: that's when i found out someone was posting pics of theirs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
