Update. Been working slowly on details and enjoying driving it.

Always wanted an old jeep. Finally have it. Now I want another old vehicle

Finally got it moving under its own power!!! What a good feeling. Have lots of little things to make it "done".

I have a 15 tundra. Moved from a 3/4 ton Duramax about a year an a half ago. Very pleased with it. Hauled our 28' travel trailer from here (central FL) to Bozeman MT last summer. Averaged 9.9 mpg for 7,000 miles. Hauled tractor to do some grading work for a friend this morning.

Still waiting on the transmission so working on other parts. Finished sewing passenger seat cushions and installed and installed the hood. Had to make some adjustments to make everything fit correctly.

Well it is the transfer case for sure. I have a good friend that owns a transmission shop and he is going to rebuild both trans and transfer case for me in exchange for some tractor work. He needs some asphalt millings moved and graded at his house on the driveway. You knew the tractor had to...

Well got lots more put together. Speedo is done, parking brake done, radiator done, hidden cut off switch for battery done, gas tank installed and sending unit done, all gauges seem to work, lights all work, engine turns over, no spark! Only thing I have not changed is the distributor cap...

Almost have the entire thing wired. Getting pretty excited seeing it go together. Have all my lights in and wired. Gauges are all in and wired but waiting on my speedo cable and sending unit to complete the gauges. Wired the ignition and push button starter tonight. Hope to be able to fire it by...

Sprayed the tub yesterday afternoon. And mounted up my wheels And pushed out in the sun this morning And started on the wiring this afternoon. Using a harness intended for a hot rod so I am having to make a few changes to get what I want.

Not sure about originally but mine has a push button starter switch on dash. Started spraying a high build primer on hood, windshield frame, fenders, and grill. Sprayed base and clear on same parts.

These are the tires I chose to run. Can't wait! Here's my wheels after welding up all the bad areas and painting. And the two together.

Very nice FC. One day I will own one! Here is the tub after a coat of epoxy primer. I was fighting rust starting because this was taking me so long to get the metal work complete so I decided it was best off getting it covered. Here is the bottom coated with Raptor Liner. I love this stuff...

Thanks guys. It has been a great learning experience. I have done lots of mechanical work on vehicles but very little body work and no metal work. I have vastly improved me welding skills and learned a lot. I am proud to say that I personally have done everything on this jeep. So, even...

Here's a few pictures of items after I cleaned and painted them. The Warn hubs I cleaned up with a wire brush on my drill. Here is the engine after paint. I replace a few gaskets and the rear main while it was out but that was the extent for now. Also added an oil filter to the system...

Here are some picture of panels I built from sheets of steel. I made plywood forms and clamped the steel to it and bent the edges around the plywood to make the shapes. The top edge was bent all the way around into a u shape and I inserted a piece of 1/2" square tube in it for additional...
