Best MJ story

Well best MJ story?? I guess the time couple years ago I was in a mall parking lot and a young kid around 4 years old pointed at my MJ and said look at the Monster truck mommy... he he it was funny

 

 

What owner loves best about CC :

I love that CC has a ton of great members and over the years I have enjoyed reading members stories and their MJ upgrades and enjoyed the pictures of others off road trips. and I like the information that's shared and how most everyone is "cool'. Also I had the chance to wheel with several members in the past but its been Years we need to get a CC outing in 2012

Been awhile since we had us a down and dirty MJ. Yours is great. It may be overlooked by some, but It has a lot of parts that a lot of the guys here aspire to have. Not overbuilt, well thought out. Factory-ish axles, parts sourced from other rigs, all put together to just work. This is the type of MJ that is a great drive to new members dreaming of having a capable rig without totally breaking the bank.

 

Congratulations on your MJOTM!

 

Rob :cheers:
