    Another New Guy!

    Hey everyone, of course my handle is tman008.


    I've been a semi-lurker on a couple of forums for a long time now - only seeking out the forum when I need specific help from old forum posts, but I've decided to fully involve myself at last!


    I'm a college student from Montana and the (mostly) proud owner of a 1972 Jeep Wagoneer - my first car, which I bought when I was 13 for $1000. Since then, with the help of my father, I've been slowly restoring my rig and customizing it just how I like. At this point we've fiddled and messed with about everything on the truck.


    I've got a lot to share and I hope to become active here on the forum while the long (and expensive) process of my project continues.


    Feel free to ask any questions about my rig.


    Thanks for your time,
    tman008

    Cheers,
    tman008

      Welcome! If you're looking to share pics and story on your build, go ahead and start a build thread in the appropriate section:

      '85 J20 Old Man Truck, bought @ 65K miles - not great, but better than walking.

      High quality junk here: intro thread and slow build thread

      Did you know? Willys is just Willis spelled differently, but pronounced the same. Neither Willy nor his apostrophe are involved.

          Welcome Tman! That's a great vehicle and so cool that you and your dad have been working on it for a while. Great to hear that at 13 you were able to save and pick up an awesome father/son project. Good luck and look forward to seeing you around!
