I followed this forum for several years and priced mules, rtv, and rhinos. I also saw the debates for old jeeps or rangers etc. A few months ago I bought a 1966 cj5 that is all fiberglass except for the windshild frame and grill. Rebuilt engine, new clutch, new springs, aux heater under the passenger seat. I just plowed 1100 feet of 12" heavy wet snow without alot of challenges. I do know that at 44 years old it is going to be brittle but at about 1/3 the cost of a used rtv it is something to consider. I spent $6 at the town hall and $10.50 for the great state of NH to register it for 6 months with antique plates. Parts are readily available from multiple sources, what are your feelings.

Believe I have alot of respect for the rtv etc but I do enjoy counting money in my wallet as well.

My feelings??? ...would be hurt if you don't post some photos :D Sounds like a great way to go... but an old Scout would have be my first choice :)

Congrats on the Jeep. I really love antique vehicles having a couple of them myself.

In my case a jeep would just be too big for what I need...Glad it works for you though.

It is 44 years old and I am 49. I am not sure which one feels the cold the worst.
