Hi Willy Mammoth.
I'm still on dial-up at home, but got through the first two pages of your buildup thread last night.
I had a 53 CJ-3B a couple of years ago - all stock, bought it from a lady who's husband had bought the Jeep new. They had used it mostly to clear their STEEP driveway of snow and run errands in bad weather. Top Speed was 42 miles an hour, but that was down hill with a tail wind. It was a fun vehicle, but I really felt naked riding high up with no roll bar.
I found a few "Things to do Saturday Morning" on my first real drive in the truck last night. Seems I'll be needing an engine or transmission mount, need to check on getting some "round" tires, and the heater blower does not work. I can feel the heat, but I can't move it where it's needed. I love(d) my J10, but it sure was nice driving in the dark and being able to see what was happening on the dash...even the High Beam and 4WD indicator lights are still working!
I can't wait to get "real acquainted" with my new Toy this weekend.
