My needle in a haystack.

 

Motorcycles are often used as an example of how it's legal to drive without a windshield.  But at least in Minnesota the motorcycle driver needs to have eye protection of some sort to be legal.  A windshield on a bike suffices, but without a windshield they need to have goggles, or a helmet with a shield or something.  I see a lot of riders with just sunglasses, so that might be enough to stay legal too.

 

By the way, a motorcycle passenger does not need eye protection (last I looked anyway).  Which I guess makes sense.  The law makers don't much care if you blind yourself, but they don't want a vehicle speeding down the road suddenly going out of control and hitting others because the driver got hit in the eye.

So, after a carburetor kit, a new temp guage and a new thermostat she's chugging right along. Not perfect, but after a few miles around the neighborhood certainly drivable.  Brakes are adequate if a bit grabby. If I get a good weather day before fall really sets in I'm taking it to work.

Always reminds me of a sewing machine...from back in the day...

They even really smell like the engines from days gone by too...

Open the hood on a modern day car and all I smell is hot plastic...magical stuff right there

You have a nice Jeep! As others have mentioned, your body is in excellent shape. I agree with enjoying the Jeep as-is. It looks great, and it sounds great too. When are you hitting the trails?

It's all sound deadening material. Without the plastic, the engine noise is significantly louder from the interior. Cars guys love it. But those with Camry's... not so much.
