Any Jeep guys here???

Pretty cool that it comes with a warranty with all that extra stuff!! I wouldn't say it needs leather, nav etc... Seems like many of the jeep people say leather, nav etc make these things to "soft" plus the alpine stereo isn't all that great. Many do claim if your building a offroad machine buy base and build it up just like what you did.



Yes had a 43 willly's, that thing was a beast offroad!! Simply amazing where those skinny tires would take us! In the mid 80's after the thing sat for a few years we decided to get it going again, completely disassembled the entire jeep, every bolt was removed then completely lost interest. There it up for sale in a local paper/trading post and it was sold in a day. If I recall I asked $400 for the jeep which as I stated sold quick. A few days later a national historical society called and wanted to buy it to fix it up... I told them it was sold... They asked me a few more questions and stated the winch itself was worth over $2,000.... Remember this was back in 1986 or so .... Still regret selling it

Holy $hit.
 
A little off track but ...I'm on a business trip right now with a Jeep Patriot rental...What a total POS this thing is.

Carry on.
