Newbie Intro

Hello Everyone,

I just recently found this website, and I can tell that I have finally found what I'm looking for. You guys have a lot of knowledge about the best line of trucks in the world and are willing to share it. Hats off to you.

I am originally an eastern NC farm boy who left for a big city job here in Jacksonville FL. I am an avid rock crawler (see sig), and I'm very much looking forward to learning what I can do with my tow rig performance wise. Just like my sig says, I'd love to have a truck that can tow and HAUL! <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />

Well, Welcome to the site.

I think you'll find quite a few guys here that have Hauln *** Tow Rigs to help you along with modifications. <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

What type of truck do you have to start out with?

Whoops...Don't think my sig came through.

My vehicles:
2002 1500 regular cab, SWB, 2wd, 5.3, 3.42 gears, stock with a weight distributing hitch and electric trailer brake controller.

1995 Wrangler YJ trailer queen built for Rock Crawling. Too many mods to list.

Welcome. I have a friend with a 95 CJ that is very into 4 wheeling too. But he is on the opposite coast. Let us know what you want mod wise and we'll see what we can come up with. BTW, I did a lot of towing with my truck to until I decided to sell my trailer. Now it will tow no more. Loss of hitch due to weight savings and upcoming mods will lower my capacity to 4k or less. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
