Congrats on the F4 and welcome to CBRF!! Post up some pics of your bike when you get chance.

Being a new street rider, don't forget to swing by the Riding Skills section. There is some very good advice in there that could save your life (and your plastics). Also, check out the F4 section for answers to any bike-specific questions you may have.

Keep the shiney side up and enjoy the forums.

Now..... are you a YJ/TJ guy or an XJ guy??
This is a very important question. Choose wisely.

Just kidding.... but seriously.... choose wisely. LOL...

I never got into the wranglers much, but that sounds like a cool rig, man.
I had a 90 XJ built up but sold it and got into cars and bikes because I just couldn't justify it any more. It was a horrible DD and I had other stuff on my mind. I did have an eagle sx4 for a while in between (AWD) and a '94 Toy (that I didn't like). The SX4 was fun to beat on, but I sold it to another CJ guy who wanted the motor.
Now I have 2 other XJs (96 2dr auto and 97 4dr 5sp)
I've been seriously considering building one of them up, but I don't really have the time.
