It all comes down to $. Which right now isnlow in supply for the jeep. H s I got the 134 engine thank god. I'm going to have Jim finish the he paint and bring her back to me. I just can't afford to have him work on it anymore... Ive put too much freaking money into her for the year... _________________ Dave

You're not kidding Wesk. I just figured for the amount of money I've put into it, I'd have a complete and running jeep by now... _________________ Dave

no kidding.... I've put 15+K into this jeep and it's still not finished. Granted I've also paid for labor as I sent it off, but still... good lord lol. I like the Jeep acronym. Very fitting. _________________ Dave

Ok... So the Jeep is about done and should be ready to go in December... I drove around the neighborhood yesterday though and came across a military trailer... or at least what looked like a military trailer from the road. I wasn't planning on buying a trailer, but I wanted to look at it. I knocked on the gentleman's door and asked if I could look at it. He was an older Gentleman and a Korean and Vietnam War vet. We looked at the trailer and it was military. He told me a little bit about it. I asked if it was for sale and he said sure. I asked how much. He responded with $50 and it has a NC title. I couldn't say no to that deal. He also said he had some tires. So for the whole thing (trailer, title, and 8 tires, 6 of which look in great shape) I paid $175. Looks like I'll have to get this trailer restored now to go with my jeep! Hopefully pictures of the jeep will be coming soon! I just posted a picture of the trailer in my photo album. It's rough, but that'll change in time. _________________ Dave

Wes, I'm really excited about it! I found a floor for it I believe. I plan on taking the tub off this afternoon after work and checking out the frame to make sure it's good to go. I'm sure I'll be posting more pictures tonight. It just goes to show deals are still out there! I'm really excited to get this up and rolling with my jeep in December. _________________ Dave

Wes, The leg was cut off unfortunately. I'll probably post some pictures in the M100 section later on tonight. _________________ Dave
