Yep, you all helped to talk me out of it.... Like I need more projects to keep up with and taking time from finishing others.

I stopped by a week ago and talked with him a while. He's trying to retire, but people drop stuff off to him daily. He doesn't answer the phone, and doesn't have voicemail or an answering machine,...

That's why I'm on the fence about the time to polish. Since I pressure washed the mud off of the Heep last fall, she's not looking too hot.
I did get a call from the starter guy, and he said my...

A few smudges on PeeJ makes it look even better.... But of course, that's my opinion. I think when I get a bunch of time in a row, I'm going to attempt to aircraft polish the Heep. There will be a...

The fact you didn't get the hose doesn't surprise me in the least. For about the last week, I've been getting my neighbors mail and some of mine. It has been my morning routine, going from one mail...

Shipping is getting to be a hassle, and expensive for sure.

Those pesky Chinesium oil lines. Quarter ton and Military is my second source for good parts, and you should be pleased with their service. Being that they are located 80 miles from the rust ranch,...

I might just go up there and stay. I love Montana, but never could find a job to sustain my lifestyle. It might be time to change my lifestyle?

A deadhead rig would be the cheapest route, but...

I would love to go. Elk is mighty tasty, plus I could drive a leg or few, since I'm still legal to 80,000 lbs.

That's how hoarding starts. It's a good thing wagons and early CJs aren't plentiful in these parts, because that's when I stock up during a build. The M38a1 build yielded three donor bodies and one...

Being in Montana, there isn't a bad issue of rust since they do not use calcium chloride on the roads. I saw it posted, and thought it was worthy of throwing it out there. I'd have to add on again...

Just in case you are still considering a truck to match LarrBeard, this would be a good start on parts.... If I had $3,000 burning a hole in my pocket, and time to go to Montana, I would sure be...

Looks real nice!

If a Willys didn't have a quirk, it would be a cheap imitation.

True. Trials and tribulations. Three and a half years is a blink in time. I've had our two Heeps for 30 years, with the vast majority of the time them being in storage. The 2A will be road worthy...

Yet another reason not to have fancy paint.... Bugs, tar and chipped roads, dirt toads, no problem. Fixing the bugs that pop up are all part of the fun. 150 is pretty good number for this time of...

I thought only I had luck like that. If I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have any at all.

That was a bit of luck through miss fortune. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

The 2A will get the required body work before I tip over, but for now it is in its birthday suit. When the wagon is finished, then the 2A will get torn down for a major overhaul. Looking around at...

That's why I'm keeping the 2A in the buff. Dust just blows off on the first trip to town.

We just speak the truth. You did a fine job, and it shows. Senior Chief LarrBeard gave his stamp of approval, and that holds a lot of weight.

It doesn't hurt to have LarrBeard riding shotgun through Toledo, but I think PeeJ earned it's spot in print through Bmorgil's attention to details.

Congratulations on making it front and center to the Willys Jeep Life page!

Great news! It was all on your excellence in execution on the restoration. She is a fine looking Jeep! You, LarrBeard, and Ira have made your Heeps into Jeeps once again. Before too long, you'll...

Great information on thermostats. If the 160 thermostat doesn't work to your satisfaction, an old friend that built our dirt track motors would recommend wetter water additive for the blocks that...
