Recent Transplant from the East Coast.

[ozmonkey]

Well, vBulletin lost my first attempt. Here's what I was saying.

Hi,
My family and I recently moved from Northern Virginia to an area just north of Longmont, CO.

I recently traded a 2011 Tacoma TRD Sport AC for a 2011 Jeep JKUL Sport.
Despite the Jeep trail-rated badge, I'm in the process of making it trail-ready.
This is my 2nd JK, I had a 2dr Sahara back in '07.

Back east, we had the GWNF trails. Looks like there are a bjillion more trails out here to explore.
I'd like to find a trail ride to join about once a month, possibly more often. (Hence my joining this forum)

I'm considering attending EJS this spring.

There, first post on frontrange4x4.com is complete! :D

Welcome. I'm straight east of Longmont about 6-8 miles in Frederick and work in Longmont. Let me know if you want to get together to wrench sometime. And FYI, Northridge 4x4 just set up shop in Longmont; they're located at Hwy 66 and I-25. Good group of folks to order from or have them install your parts.

Actually that's just my nickname. Thomas or Tom-oZ. You can pronounce oZ like awes if you want to.

I've dropped into NR a couple times now, and ordered my wheels from them (with another forum discount so I got a great deal). Wheels are pending delivery. Back in 2008, I ordered a safari rack from Dave who, as I recall, worked our of the Pacific North West, so I was familiar with the company name and just caught by surprise to see them so close to my new home.

I'm not that skilled on the wrenching side of things so they might be my go-to shop. They carry the lift I want, but labor isn't cheap.

Thanks everyone for the welcomes. :redface:

Cool Jeep, have you checked out Northridge 4x4's new shop/warehouse? It's at 4107 S Valley Dr‎, Longmont, CO 80504

edit: Oops, I just saw someone already asked and you said yes. haha. I was just asking because I was looking at who is going to the Anniversary run and I searched where Mead was and NR4x4 is right there.

[ozmonkey]

Yep. They installed my AEV 2.5 Dual Sport lift at a competitive price. I would recommend this shop. Lucky for me they're only a few miles away, but they stock too much wanty stuff.

exactly.
But I don't look quite like that. I've got different bone structure and an overall lack of wings.
