View Full Version : Honest Question

Hi! I keep coming across this website when searching for a good Christian 4x4 web forum (may be God's providence). I agree with putting our Triune God first and foremost and I think this forum has done an excellent job of glorifying God. After all, He is the one who gifted me with the talent (to build my truck), so I want to glorify Him in this way (when I'm on this forum).
However, I also feel this forum is lacking on solid 4x4 Tech. Please don't get me wrong...I'm not trying to stir up trouble. It's just that this forum may not be for me, so I'm trying work this out now (like finding a good Church, which I am a member of). I've tried the secular forums but I just can't stand the 'lack of reverence' toward our Lord & Savior.
My question is, does anyone know of a Christian 4x4 website with an equally good 'technical' forum. What I'm looking for, may not exist. If so, I'll gladly become a cheerful 'supporting member' of this forum. I hope I worded this right and I apologize if I offended anyone.

We're more about Jesus and good fellowship than anything else, as far as tech we have some interesting build threads here. My FJ80 on Volvo portals is the first and only such vehicle so I would think we have a little tech. But maybe your right this might not be the forum for you.
Great first post, welcome to Grace :?

I'll second what George said. Becoming a Supporter of Grace is all about your walk with Him. Not sure just what you're hunting for, tech wise, but there really is a wealth of info here, from 2" spacers to buggy builds. Post up your questions, get to know us better. And, welcome, brother.
X2 - Like has been mentioned, the forum is more relationship oriented. However, there is a wealth of knowledge available in the membership and specific tech questions find quality answers!

Hey Danny how goes it?
First off welcome to Grace glad to have you, especially the sweet 79 Bronco you got there. Got anymore pics I can see of it. As you see below I've got a 95 but I love the 79 model broncos and F-150.
I'm sure if you've been surfing the web you've probably came across ProjectBronco.com (http://www.projectbronco.com/index.htm) It's not a religious place but from what I've seen there is a ton of info there on your year model bronco.
Again welcome and I hope you enjoy!

Grace is my 4x4 family.
For friendship/fellowship etc. I don't really go elsewhere. I do watch a few forums out there but not that active on them.
For 4x4 tech google is my friend and if I have a question I can't find the answer to I try grace first and normally get the answer.
Welcome to grace

First off- Welcome to GRACE.
As far as frienship, fellowship, caring, and concern one would be hard pressed to find a better group to be associated with. If it's a tech question there will almost always be a response, it may not be as in depth as you are looking for, but a responce, and most often a scincere effort to help.
Once again Welcome to GRACE.

Welcome to Grace, Danny! :grin: Nice Bronco you've got there!
4x4Grace is all about putting our Lord first, and then off roading. While our tech archives may not be as vast as say, Pirate.....there is a wealth of information here just from the combined experiences of our members. The answers to a question are usually found here when the question is asked. If we can't answer it, we can usually point you to someone that can. The internet is a place of knowledge, and at Grace we believe in helping out with whatever our experience and/or skills can do for those who come here seeking answers. That applies both to off road tech as well as the Kingdom of God :wink:

Good to have another Bronco guy, Gubni is an old ford guy and can usually answer any tech q's you may have, also, you will find no better place for fellowship, freindship, and the pursuit of Christ than with bunch of guys and gals so stick around and give us a try, there are always answers to the most important technical q's, those of our Savior.

As a newbie here but not to tech and forums I'm not here for the tech advice. I wanted to find a group of christian wheelers. There is plenty of tech out there to get. All that to say, ask away here and see what comes of it. I find many people don't follow the tech advice anyway and argue their point and do what they want in the end.

Yeah there is not a Walmart of websites that has everything. The big sites might have alot tech but lose sight of the people. This site is a good place and many times if you just post the question some of these guys will help look for the answer. Well anyways welcome aboard.

Hi Danny. I come here alot for great fellowship and a few here have been to my site. Another site that I frequent is www.ucora.org . It's a christian site and has a few hardcore wheelers and a nice tech section. One of the fellas on there goes by glfrederick. He's a Ford fan and quite knowledgeable. He's also a pastor. If you go there don't forget this site, as others and myself have said good fellowship here.

Thank you all for the very warm welcome! I'm going to hang around here.
Mountainmaggot, thank you very much for that link. It's not exactly a 'tight knit' Christian family like 4x4Grace but still a good webforum.
