and here was our tagalong on the last run I made

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"
My feedback
I think it was a yellow belly marmot that snuck in while we were eating our picnic, and yes I still have my jeep. We sold hers and bought her a new F-150. I had put it up on Naxja and didn't get any interest. It was armored up and locked, we just didn't drive it enough. She put it on consignment so we didn't have to mess with it and someone in Canon City picked it up at almost double what we were asking.

cstone/ Sharp ride. That is jeepin' old school.[/QUOTE]
fentonite/ That Jeepster is sweet! I like the personalized tires.
Thanks Guys! Picked it up for free, been trying to fix it up with what little money I have. Just took the top off for summer cruising. Most people don't know what it is or call it a scout!
Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.
Finally found the photo I wanted to post. Best action shot of the jeepster so far.

Coolest thing my '56 CJ5 has done so far is sit and wait patiently for me to get around to fixing it up. Sat right there for 30 years. Still waiting for me, I really need to get off my ass and finish it. The chassis is nearly done, I just need to install the brake m/c and bracket, then plumb the brake lines, and find a place to store the chassis while I work on the engine/trans/t-case. Put the drivetrain into the chassis and back into storage, and the bodywork can commence. I really need a bigger place where I can work on it. This photo was in my dad's electrical business shop, back in OK. My dinky little 18x18 garage just don't cut it.
It's really in damn good shape for 56 years old, I'm trying to restore it back to 100% new condition and nearly original, but with much better brakes, steering, and electricals. Also have a brand new white Kayline top just like this one, still in the box. Bought it from some guy that was cleaning out an old Jeep dealership in CA, it had been sitting on a shelf forever, Kayline's been out of business for many years. And I have a steel halfcab for it too.
Got some original seats, including a rear seat, and original 16" steel wheels. Going back with skinny 6" tires like they came with, it's just going to be used for scenic trail rides, you guys can have the rock crawling stuff.
Brought it to CO at Xmas, 2004. This was its first bath in over 30 years.
Also scored this ultra-cool and uber-rare venting windshield for it. These things are damn hard to find and big bucks! I got it from a guy that traded me even-up for my stock windshield, because he was tall and this was hard for him to see out of. Needs restoring, but it's not rotted, rusted or damaged, and I've already got new rubber gaskets for it. Just needs blasting, painting, and new glass.
