Ive owned/drove a jeep ever since i started driving. This will be one of my best builds.. I have done major builds on CJs and WJs now here comes the one that I play to keep and hand down for generations to come.
My father bought this jeep years ago. and i thought it was the best thing since sliced bread that my dad actually wanted to drive a jeep around... A few years ago, he finally had the chance to purchase his dream car, and the jeep just sat in the yard, until i decided to visit and brush the pine straw off it and drive the hell out of it for the weekend.
Back in January i finally convinced him I needed it more them he did, and i'd make a great vheicle out of it, I went up where my parents lived with a u-haul trailer and towed the beast back.... It runs and drives just fine. Just old, neglected, and ready for a face lift.
