Greetings Everyone,
Pleased to have discovered this group. My name is JT Pedersen, residing with my wife Kimberly, in Canton, Michigan, about 15 minutes east of Ann Arbor, western fringes of the Detroit Metro area.
About 4 years ago, a 2015 Jeep JKU Rubicon arrived. We still had kids in the house, so we spent a couple months talking about a name. I've never named one of my vehicles or motorcycles before. For the Jeep, it just seemed to be calling-out or a name. And, so
Stitch was born.
We're without kids (in the house) now, and Kimberly and I have been having an absolute blast exploring with Stitch. For me, getting Stitch was less about rock crawling and seeing what I could drag myself over, and more about the places we could go that we otherwise wouldn't. Along the way, I roped my brother (down in Austin) into the experience. He runs his own JKU Rubi. He, his wife, Kimberly, and I have started doing our own trips.
Experience? There's always someone with more...I can let them decide<g>. We're not new, certainly far from 'most experienced.' We are evolving. We've wheeled as far south as Missouri, up to the UP, west to Colorado, and points between. I like to think of myself as stable, applying common sense, with mechanical know-how.
Happy to be here,
JT...
