Here are some pics we took today.  My daughter is driving through a gully behind where I work.

As you could tell from the previous pics, my daughter and I took it out for a test ride today.

Found and fixed a transmission line leak. I still have a transfer shifter issue but it will wait. If it rains I may be laying in the mud to get it back in 2x.

I'll install a windshield this week and then all I have to do is figure out how to get the fire pit and wood on the trailer with the rig.

That is a primer. I was planning a metallic blue but...

I owned my first Jeep in 1965. We painted it '55 Caddy green with a cream colored interior. It had a green canvas top. I dated in that Jeep until I graduated from high school.

Color is still undecided.

both colors looks good so i see you having a very hard decision ahead of you.

looks like I should paint the bumper....

My wife suggests camo...  but I plan to drive it on the street.

Windshield is to be picked up Friday, installed Saturday and Sunday for building (re-building) windshield wipers.

I took the Willyreplica out to Nick's this morning.  We were to put his new window in his RC but after we got the broken one out we discovered that we had the window for the wrong side.  We need a driver's side door window...

Anyway, we did a little playing.  I think the resolution on this video is a little high.  The focus isn't perfect but you can get the idea of how it runs if it doesn't take too long to download.

It has a used Flowmaster that I took off of Tracy's Cherokee. Only thing I intend to add is a skid plate to protect the lowest part of the transfer. Every thing else is above the bottom of the frame.

 Looks and sounds real good.  Are you going to box in the bed?
