Hahaha .. no not this time. I was at work moving jeeps around the lot. I need to come up with a better way to do this. It worked but it was a pain to filter it. Lol.

Not much work,really.  I suppose I could have carried my chainsaw and gas can back to where the wind took down a huge branch last night, but why not use the Jeep?

Drove 2 hrs like this to a antique truck/tractor/engine/motorcycle show. This upcoming show, I'll probably have an antique engine in the back.

100 miles give or take. LOL Decided after that trip I'm going to upgrade my seats from the 3" foam bottom to the 5" foam bottom.

Yes Roberto, that's a 1949 Indian Arrow (Model 149). Been in the family since new too.

Thanks Guys! Big smile

On my long trip to Canada a couple of years ago I used a camp sitting pad that I got from REI, it inflatable (same idea as a sleeping bag pad) it sure made the trip more pleasant and for short trips I don't use it. My thought is that if you add 2" to the seat base your legs are going to be real close to the steering wheel.

Me and my dad took my 46 the the hardware store to pick up some pressure treated 2x8x10' lumber. The 1st pic the wood blends right in with the reeds. I have a perfectly good crew cab 2500 gmc but wouldn't be much fun. We used the 47 bantam trailer to work out of and cut all the wood

It seems all my jeeps get to pull trailers around the yard. This is the current DJ project after a little tuneup, moving my trailer that hauls jeeps. Nothing like a nice short jeep to make a trailer behave when you are backing into a tight spot.

WOW! That was pretty cool. Talk about exceeding maximum vehicle weight. Loved the human front bumper weights, and the running of the Willys Wheelies. Viva Yipao!
