My '47

I like it better without them. I have tomorrow off also and my girl wants to do another drive I'll try to get better photos. I was just so happy to be on a gravel road for miles that I forgot to take pictures.

Cool bottle opener.
What is your shifter made out of?

Well recently my Jeep has been leaving a puddle under it. Transmission is leaking. Today I drove to work and popped the hood. See something on my skid plate and grab it off. It is one of the caps for the shifter rails. Not sure if this is where it is leaking yet.

Is that the beach at Gearheart? We vacationed there this summer. Beautiful corner of the world.



Your jeep looks great. I hope to return to Oregon one day, maybe with my jeep.

Have not started this in a few weeks. Shift trans into neutral and turn the key, it wants to jump back.
Press clutch in and restart, in reverse and first the willys wants to go backwards. 2nd and 3rd feel like they are going forward when letting up on the clutch. I was going to drive it to work tomorrow but not now.

Snow today!

 Snow was gone later that day  

Well it seems I am getting constantly "F'ed" with.

 Called engine shop months ago, block looks great still need to check other items, they will call back.

 No call back.

 Called January 19th. Have not done anything to it. I mention I need prices and that I will probably have them assemble the short block. He said he will make a price list and call me back.

 You guessed it, have not heard back.

 Think I am going to look for a closer shop to take over and get my stuff out of there.


Ordered used  transmission and transfer case parts from a seller on Facebook. Took a while to get the parts and when I did some gears were wrong. My fault on that since I did not give the numbers on the gears. Told me he would send the ones I need plus some other things. Great! I sent the gears back.  October 2016 is when he said they were being shipped. Still not received.

 December called to say I should have got them but I did not. I live in a apartment that has a main entrance door so  FedEx, USPS or UPS will not leave packages outside.  They will either ring someone's door bell to let them in and leave it outside my apartment door or for UPS they will leave their sticker saying they will try again. UPS will leave 2 or 3 stickers then you can go to their warehouse and pick it up.   He said he would look into finding out where it went. Never found an answer for that. Said he would make it right and send more parts.

 Almost 2 weeks ago it was posted that me and others parts will be shipped and we will get a message with tracking numbers.

 I did not get a tracking number, when asked for a update recently I was ignored.


I get it. Life gets in the way. Family, work, Etc; Things happen, what not. Won't name names, A lot of others have dealt with him and are happy they did I guess. 

 Just really frustrating that this is happening.

 Vent over.
