Title: Newbie from Imlay City
Post by: Jack M on March 16, 2018, 08:54:39 AM
Hello Everybody!

My name is Jack and I'm from Imlay City and work in Flint at a suspension shop. I honestly can't remember how I found this group, but I'm glad I did. I purchased a 2012 JKU Sahara back in December and am slowly building it up. My end goal is to build it into an overlanding rig. I'm a member of quite a few FB groups but nobody seems to be very active in this area. I'm looking forward to meeting members from here and becoming an active member of the community!

Ken, I plan on making it to the meeting. Thanks for posting the details.

My wife and I travel to TN a few times a year for hiking and now to go trail riding so that works perfectly.

Looking forward to seeing everybody on the 8th!

Hopefully I'll have my new wheels/tires soon so that I can get this installed... Just Empty Every Pocket is all too real.

You have good taste! Which Falcons did you end up going with?

Well, I ordered the 3.1s but Teraflex decided to dropship the 3.3s. I decided to go the honest route and let them know. I work in e-commerce so I anticipated their response and like I assumed they said to keep them as they didn't want to deal with return shipping and then shipping out the correct new set.

Needless to say, they've earned my loyalty.

Wow that's awesome! That's about $400 worth of free upgrade.
