Re: New guy from San Bernardino CA.
 to the board from Mid-MO!!!You'll find this place to become your second home. There's tons of information, friends, parts, .... and so much more. Gald to have you aboard CJ, and like most trucks on this site, PO's can put together some of the best (or worst) creations. Be sure to check out the 73-87 Message Board, as well as starting a build thread with your truck. Keep safe and keep on truckin'!
