Well, It's almost done. I can't believe how long it takes to get parts for these things sometimes. The owner decided to replace the suspension parts (springs, shackles, plates and bushings) and add turn signals and windshield. The windshield is in and looks great. Found a local guy to cut the glass for me. Picking up new tires and wheels later today (thanks Daniel). If Morris 4x4 comes through with the latest parts order I'll have some after pics to post up next weekend. Then it goes back to the owner... for now.

I am finally going to get this CJ back to it's owner, for a little while anyway. Still a lot to do to get her totally reliable. But as for now, this is what she looks like after all new leaf springs and shackles, shocks, brakes, new tires and wheels (thanks Daniel) rebuilt carb, tune up and fluids changed, welded cracks all over the frame, new tail lights and turn signals, removing the auxilliary fuel tank, adding a locking latch to the glove box, and new windshield and seal, adjustments to brakes and steering, a dusting of OD green from a rattle can and a host of other little doo dads... EDIT: Oh and I forgot, the damn frame is bent too! Never a dull moment...

Farm implement. It's the civilian version. I found a manual online that describes how to hook up the PTO to run augers, snow plow blades, front loader and back hoe. AND... you run a water pump of up to 250 GPM off the PTO as well, for irrigating fields don't cha noo...[CENTER][COLOR=#ff0000]Resistance Off Road

agree on the bumpers, they need to go They can't be the stock bumpers, can they?
Looks good otherwise! I'm jealous of that glove box, I wish mine had one!
