    Unhappy Introduction



    Hello, my name is Eve.
    A few months ago I purchased my 2011 Jeep Wrangler. It is my 3rd Jeep in my lifetime. It came “equipped” when I purchased it. How exciting! I have no idea what it all was or how to use it. I took it to Christian Brothers in Berthoud and that is where I meet Nick Grahn.
    He told me my Jeep has a Rock Krawler 3 inch lift with some Teraflex bumps in the rear, quick disconnect sway bars up front, adjustable front track bar, and lengthened steel braced brake lines that I needed to get under control.
    WOW, I’ve never had bumps in my rear before and after raising one rowdy teenage, I know it takes a village to get anything under any kind of control even if it’s just brake lines!
    That’s when I decided I needed to join Front Range 4x4 on Nick’s suggestion. You all sound like the village I need. I use to rock climb, now I need to learn how to rock crawl.
    I am a Nurse in Estes who doesn’t know how to retire and my husband owns a Tool grinding and machining business in Loveland. We live in Drake. Between the two of us and with your help we are hoping to make new friends, enjoy more of this wonderful Colorado, and figure out just how to use all of this Jeep!
    Thank you for your time and I hope we get to meet you in person.

    There’s nothing like being on the rock or working your way through a crevasse field! Being in the here and the now!
    Maybe some day we can meet on the trail! Going to try a few trails around the Estes area. Just hate not know my gear and “foot placement “. There’s stuff on this Jeep I don’t know how to use.
    Thanks for your warm welcome! Climb On!

    Welcome to the group!

    Hint - start a thread in "Planning" - perhaps this weekend / whenever you wish - maybe Pole Hill or Storm Mountain - trails close to you. Both suited for your jeep (not overly difficult).

    Jim,
    Thanks for that hint!!!! I’ll do that. I think I might wait a few days to check on the weather, we are suppose to get 3-6 inch of snow up here this weekend.😊
