Photo Scavenger Hunt

What you don't see is the body about five or six feet away from the frame, the bed/backseat area is propped against the barn along with a fender. Thanks for recognizing it as a Jeep! Next, how about a pic of your jeep at a farm, or doing farm work?

This is my stretched 2A a couple days after trailering it home:

~~How about a pic of your jeep with another nearly identical jeep someone else is building?~~ too easy Big smile

.

How about either a picture of your jeep somewhere you never thought you'd go with it OR your jeep photo-bombing a picture that was intended to be of something else (jeep is unintentionally in the picture and steals the attention).

OUCH! I'm not sure I would have tackled anything in that bad of shape, even in my younger years...although your frame looked like the original one under mine. Now 2A with a M-38 frame.

Andy, If it was in a chicken coop, your very lucky it was buried in building material and insulation and not chicken Shxt!!!!! Looking at a 49 Jeepster this week that was in the chicken coop for twenty years and its hard to find where the vehicle is or isn't......

Woah, how did you get that home? I went to Garden of the Gods this past weekend and close (10 miles or so) to one of the entrances for the waterfalls was a Jeep rotted in half with a sign next to it. Didn't get to read the sign cause I didn't have my glasses and no picture because the driver just laughed at me when I asked if she could stop so I could take pics Cry

. Has anyone else been there or saw it?

Woah, how did you get that home?

We drove over five hours me and my brother to pick up the jeep with a trailer when we got there and we saw it ,my brother wanted to pay my gas and leave it there, I said I can make something with it.There was a lot of work to load it on the trailer.It took over 3 hours to load,it only had 1 wheel on the back of the jeep,we had to jack it up as high as possible and use a come along to drag it on the trailer , once it was loaded ,5 hours later it was home. I used the original tailgate,fenders,tub,windshield frame ,transmission ,transfer case and rear ends all rebuild. It had a motor in the back of the tub but it was seized.I found a super sonic that was a good candidate for a rebuild.I used different hood and grill for a more mb look. It should be done for this summer.

On the right is my brother Perry that help me load it and my cousin Claude on the right.
