As our forum membership approaches 18,000 members, it sure would be great to have a list of members that we can identify as technical wizards in different subject matters (i.e., electronics, suspensions, electrical, off-road driving, Ham radios, vehicle recovery, switches, GPS, land use, etc.).

If you are such a guru, and you wouldn't mind being listed as such for members to swamp you with specific questions and semi-annoying PM's

, please drop me a PM so that I can compile a list.

I'll be posting up this reference list in the FJ Cruiser Technical Articles section as the names come in.

There is some major talent on this forum, and it would be great for all of us to take advantage of that vast knowledge and to know where we can go looking for it.

Steve,

Not an expert but knowledgeable on Ham Radio and land use. Some knowledge and skill in off-road driving and expedition preparation, but as you know... We have lots of experts here...

cheers,

dale

Steve the best thing I have to offer is a shoulder to cry on and PATIENCE!!! I can handle the basic Newbie stuff and just be a nice ear. Promise not to get upset or out of hand with anyone. Basically the Room Mom.

I've got a degree in metallurgy and engineering, which comes in handy for failure analysis! Always after the fact, but nice to know why to avoid making the same mistake twice.

Hey TinCan, I'll put you down for motor work, electrical, body work and "miscellaneous crazy things."

Thanks!!
