Neat old ride, Welcome

[unclebill]

well
i got a quote of around $400 to have glass installed in my koenig top.
then i found a meyers 1/2 cab for it for $200 delivered that is only missing one piece of glass.
i am getting the meyers , fixing it up and running with it.
i like the idea of the 1/2 cab because it is less space to heat and i can put stinky stuff in the back. i.e. gascans etc.

Cant wait to see it. I know, I have looked at, and seriously considered, buying a jeep, just cause it had one of those half cabs. Kinda like having a mini Scrambler (one of my personal favs) I think youll like it. What a steal to!

[unclebill]

i got a meyers 1/2 cab for it and yesterday installed the side mount spare tire carrier.
the meyers was sooo cheap that i couldnt pass it up.
glass was so expensive for the full top that i gave up on it and i had to do something because winter is coming soon.
i am NEVER working on this thing in the cold again.
what a miserable experience this spring was......
the top needs to be painted and assembled
and i need lug nuts for the mount.
pics soon

[unclebill]

i went to a flea market yesterday and bought 2 jerry cans for $24

[Shewilly]

Cant wait to see the 1/2 cab, what color will you paint it, cream?
Jerry cans...nice find!

[unclebill]

cream

i took it for it's 1st real jeep trail drive yesterday.
about 3 miles up it was squirting oil all over.
so i stopped and took a peek.
the line that runs from the block to the oil pressure gauge had broken.
i stuck a screw in it and j.b. welded it on there and drove it home.
kinda anticlimactic huh?


i put it in 4 low and coasted down the mountain to the trailhead.
that way i didnt have to use the brakes all the way.

it was your feminine wiles that made me get a 1/2 cab......

i was out of my comfort zone for almost every aspect of this project.
so most of it sucked.
i still have a horn and gauges that need to be functional
but somebody else is going to do it.
i just CAN NOT wrap my head around electricity.
some guys got it
some guys dont.
