Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

Cheers all!

I'm Jeff Jenkins, a long time Jeeper who took a decade off to attend to life's demands . . . But I'm BACK!

I'm driving a 2022 Gladiator Mojave and enjoying my seat time!

I've owned / wheeled 2 CJ5s, 2 CJ7s and a CJ2A starting in the mid 1970 and ending in 2011. I grew up in Utah and spent time in Moab and the Southern parks, often four wheeling more as a means to hike, climb, and camp,. When I came to Southern California in the early 1980s I wheeled more for the sake of wheeling and have had the opportunity to run the Rubicon, Death Valley and many of the areas in SoCal.
I am NOT a mechanic or fabricator but have strived to do the majority of work on my own Jeeps over the years.

In daily life, I'm an avian (bird) and exotic animal veterinarian. My hospital, the Avian & Exotic Animal Hospital, is in San Diego, CA and is the oldest exclusively bird and exotic hospital in the world.

I'm looking forward to getting back into the four wheeling community and excited to see what is going on here.

 

[Signing Spock]

Hi, I’m Kenny but the nickname is Spock.

Jeep Wrangler owner and fanatic since 2012 and hoping the Recon’s are reliable to become my future daily driver lol

I’m in the US Air Force and have been for over a decade now. Main job is Cyber Security but I’ve dabbled in a little bit of everything in the military comm world (minus satellites or antennas…haven’t had that luxury yet lmao).

This all being said, the Air Force has brought me to Belgium for a while and we’re really loving it. I’ve got a wife and two kids (oldest is a boy, youngest is a girl) and so far everyone is having a good time here

Welp. Jeep announced they were bringing the Tuscadero color to the Gladiators so my wife was of course smitten, so we ordered a JT Willys in that color! It’ll take like 4 to 6 months since we’re overseas but we’re extremely excited! It’s no Recon EV but it’s something we’ve always wanted (a Gladiator) and we do like the color still.
