Jeeps

[mhomrighausen]

Frank C Nice addition to the family. That video is something else. I remember my Dad getting war surplus catalogs in the mail in the 1960s. They would have jeeps (no pictures of course) for sale. The ad would read; Military Jeep for sale. Parachute did not deploy when released from airplane. My Dad would say that those Jeeps looked more like a pancake than a Jeep.

Marlin: It just so reminded me of the torture tests we've heard about from Cub Cadet 1961 Original prototypes and the 123 hydro introduction:

P.S. Had pancakes for breakfast. Maple syrup instead of 30w.

Spotted something on the way back home that definitely got my attention. It's not a Jeep, just something better.

Gotta find out about it.

A SCOUT!!!!!! Heck yes, better than a Heep.........

Sorry, not wanting to step on any toes.... buddy I work with is a Jeep and Chevy guy.... I'm a Ford guy, so we have a friendly "banter" at work..... But, we both like Binders!!!!!!

Brought this home today. Thinking Don T. would approve.

Wall? What wall?

Ever see a garage in a Jeep?

Did I mention that Jeeps are special?

 

[kmcconaughey]

Frank, no, but I've seen a garage in an Isuzu Rodeo a couple of times.

New (to me) tow rig!

It took a couple days, but I finally got to drive it in the daylight!

Rough country suspension lift w/ 35's. SuperWinch 9500# winch is coming off and going on a receiver so I can keep it in good shape (and use front or rear). Fingers crossed that I don't put a big crease in that Dana 30 front end before a planned replacement comes into reality!

[wcompton]

That’s pretty neat!

I’m starting to realize I may have a theme going!

 

[kmcconaughey]

Wyatt, very nice!

The 4 door Wrangler Unlimited has been on my wish list for several years now. Had I not found that low mileage 2001 Isuzu Rodeo last year I would likely have picked up a Jeep by now.

 

[ekincaid]

Wyatt- there maybe a subliminal correlation in your color scheme on that awesome Jeep of yours

Haven’t stopped improving....
Most of the work has been done on the back end. Now... 1-ton Dana 60 build for the front & rear along with the long arm suspension, HD steering box, as well as 1-tin brakes.
