 You can see the
handy pockets on the back of the seat. It's a good place to keep maps and anything else
you might want within reach. I painted the dash to match the seats. I also added another
interior ceiling light. I found one to match the other one perfectly at a camper supply.
 I like the tinted windows. It stays cooler inside
and makes people wonder "who's in that thing?"
 Not noticeable in any of the photos is the new
stereo and speakers or any of the mechanical upgrades. I installed new Gabriel shocks.
They still make shocks for DJ's! I completely went through the engine compartment with new
points and plugs, plug wires, alternator, voltage regulator, belts, hoses, battery and
cables. It's now probably the most dependable vehicle I own. It's certainly my favorite!
 Here's another major distraction in my life. My
son's four-wheeler. I can't stay off the thing. (When I'm not in my Jeep of course.) My
wife says older people have no business on those things. I just tell her,"Yes dear,
you better not ride." Thank God my son has an apartment in town and doesn't have a
place to keep it. And guess what. He just bought a jet-ski! "DAMN!...I LOVE
THAT BOY!" |

I got a bargain on the removable luggage rack. $2.00
at the local flea market. I highly recommend a weekly trip to the flea market. You never
know what you might not be able to live without.
Not much new here. Just another shot of the front.
Note the almost expired tags and inspection. I've been busy.
I removed the shroud
on the top vent. It didn't noticeably affect the air flow but makes it look better, I
think. I also painted the Jeep logo.
Here are the seats I got from a Plymouth mini-van. I
had a bracket made for the extra seat at a welding shop for $10.00 and raised the drivers
seat 2 1/2". Note the foldup armrests.
