Identity Crisis or A.D.D?

So within the last six months I've sold my built YJ (too small for the family). I've purchased a K5, one ton axles, doubler T-case set up, hydraulic steering etc. then sold the K5 (too big for the trails). Purchased a 71 Scout 800B with the intentions of putting the above listed parts under it. But recently decided the Scout was just a bit too small. So I purchased a 69 Jeepster Commando. Seems to be just right. Now I know how Goldie locks felt when she found the porage that wasn't too hot or too cold! Hopefully I've made the right choice. I'm committed to this build. Here's a pic of her. Soooooo, anyone have a good lead on Commando parts?

P.S. SCOUT FOR SALEimage.jpg

we need some details of this commando. Looks like a sweet machine. I have a 71 commando sitting in the back yard that I cant decide what to do with.

You have owned two of the rigs I would love to build. The commando and the scout. Call it what you will. I'm just jealous that your wife let you do that.

We'll I'm not sure that she "let" me. But she understands our disease! As the Commando sits today:
D60 front Lock Rite HD axles (ARB in the future)
FF 14 Boot rear Detroit HD axles
D300 twin stick (203/205 doubler waiting to be installed)
TBI 350 Chevy
aluminum radiator
700R4 trans
38x14.50R16 Toyo MT's
Warn 9.5TI winch
Six point roll cage with harnesses for four

I think that's the basics. I'm sure I'm leaving something out.
I'm also planning on adding PSC hydraulic assist ram, pump and gear. Hydro boost brake step hi-steer arms, and a 4-link for the rear either in coils or coil-overs

I remember having that disease. Still do in fact. I never found a Jeep to fit us all that I actually liked. I went from Jeeps to Early Broncos for a few years, and then finally to Toyotas. Been with them every since since they cost about 1/4 the price to build. Now I look at it as me saving money. :D

That being said, that is a sweet Commando.

I've been through a lot of rigs. With each rig I learn more about what I like and what I don't like. I am glad I went through so many rigs, because it makes me really appreciate the rig I have now.

The rig looks awesome. Really dig those and have thought of buying one a number of times. Looking forward to seeing some wheeling pics.

I would have gone with a Scout II or Traveler with the 392 engine and kept it Street legal. But I would not be able to go to some of the places you can.
