Hello all. I have been on here for a while, but havent posted many pics of my Jeepsters. I thought I would start a new thread to get back into the swing of things.
I have 3 Jeepster Commando's (yes it is a sickness). Between work, and family time I havent been able to spend as much time working on my jeepsters as I would like, which is the case with most of you too.
My first Jeepster is a '69 that I bought about 5 years ago. I drove it twice and realized how much work it was going to need. I started swapping axles with a scout D44 rear and a waggy D44 front. Then worked on the steering, then wanted to replace the wiring with a new harness, but decided to fix the rusted out floors before the wiring. One thing led to another and I had it completely torn down to the frame. Then I decided to swap the original buick V6 for a SBC/700r4 combo. That is where it sits today. In the last 5 years my family has grown from 4 to 6 people, and there just wasnt enough room for all of us. I decided to make this a 4 door Jeepster... we will see if it ever happens.
Here is the second jeepster I bought. It is a '67 that I bought it about 2 years ago from a guy who had most of the work done. He did or had the work done on the suspension, steering, body, paint, roll cage, rock sliders, bumpers, seats, ect...
When I got it, it needed fuel lines, trans cooler lines, electrical, exhaust, and drive shafts. I have most of it done now, but is a jeep ever "done"?
And finally the third Jeepster to my collection. This is a '70 convertible that I went to look at for someone out of state. I found this on KSL and posted on a Jeepster forum that this was in my area and I could go look at it for anyone interested. A guy in Maryland contacted me and was interested. I had no plans on buying this (or money), but when I looked at it and saw how clean it was I just couldnt pass it up. I felt bad about the guy in MD, but like I said, it was too good to pass on. This is not perfect, but there is absolutly no rot in the body, the drive train is all original, the interior is in excellent shape, and it is a convertible.
I plan on taking the yellow one or the convertible (maybe both) to the All Jeep Show in a few weeks. I am excited to have these on the road (and soon offroad). After 5 years of working on my obsession it is finally starting to pay off. I have some spare parts, so if you are looking for some Jeepster parts let me know and I might be able to help you out. Or if you just want to talk Jeepsters I am always up for that.
Talk to you later.
Adam.
