First post on Nor Cal Jeeps Okay, so I bought the domain norcaljeeps.com now what? Good question. I bought the domain with the intention of making a family blog about Jeeps. I have two younger brothers and we all have Jeeps that we like to take out into the woods and wheel. So unless our plans change or someone offers me 6 figures for this kick ass domain name, thats what you will probably find here for many years to come.

Because we are each into building and modifying Jeeps (or any vehicle for that matter) you may also find "how to" articles, or something tech related. I can almost guarantee that it will be Jeep related. But, if you see us post a random article rest assured there probably wasn't a better place to do it, and there's a good chance you will find it useful in the future.

Introductions

I thought we might start off with a brief introduction and maybe a photo of each of us. This way, if your not a family or friend and your viewing this site, you will have a face to go with a name. Chances are, the only people who will ever look at this site will be family and friends so this exercise may be completely mute but who cares.

Mark

I have a heavily modified 1942 Jeep Willies that I am currently wheeling. I bought it for $1000.00 from a guy on Pirate 4x4. It's an ugly cuss, but on the trail it's not about looking pretty. At least not for me. the vehicle went through a pretty humorous at times transformation and if your interested in that sort of stuff, I suggest checking out my build thread on Pirate 4x4. Basically it's got a pumped Chevy 350 with a sm420, Dana 20, with buggy springs. I plan to go to air shocks down the road.

Chris

The middle child of us three brothers. He's the real mechanic between us, and the only person in the world that I know that can compress valve springs with his bare hands by age 13! WTF I know! Chris just recently acquired a Jeep of his own and has some pretty big plans for it. Until now, Chris has helped everyone else with our builds. He is starting out with a 1976 CJ5 that has a small block chevy 400 and sm465!

Joe

The youngest of the three spearheaded our obsession when he was given a 1975 CJ5 that was pretty beat down. Since then it has been stripped down and rebuilt from the ground up with bullet proof in mind. He's running the most extreme vehicle with a AMC 304 powered Jeep with a Ford T-18 tranny and a tera-low Dana 20 with coil over suspension. Well thats it for now. I hope that we can make this site fun and interesting, please feel free to subscribe to receive future updates.
