THE LONE GUNMAN........

VETERAN LANDCRUISER



This old soldier had the interior removed and is getting ready to head out on a mission for new paint inside and out. New uniform for a seasoned vet.


THE COMANCHE



The Indian is getting some cool gadgets! Take a good look at the front bumper hoop. The clear plastic box that is clamped to the hoop is the holder for a Go Pro Hero video camera. Nice video of the trail to brag about when you have company over at the house when it decides to rain (or snow). The shifter is getting some fine tuning for better engagement.



The rear has received a tool box for all of the goodies to come, and a nice trick removable mud flap that is designed to mount, and remove from the receiver hitch. Very cool.



Spencer is using the plasma torch to add some holes to the skid plate. After wheeling the Indian over the weekend, we found some warmer than we wanted temps under this jeep. Adding these should resolve the problem without compromising strength.



Here is a shot of the CB radio mount between the seats on the back wall.



I fabricated a set of guages to montior the engine. I was originally going to use just the factory lights but with all of the time and money invested, I decided it would be best to see what was going on before an "oh crap" happened.



Here is the panel ready to be installed. I had to seal the heating duct and make a hole where the small cubby hole was, (it was useless anyway) for the wiring. We also had to revamp the transmission cooling system to work out some bugs, along with some other minor issues.

                                                              MONSTER JEEP





We got the beast in to install a better transmission cooler for more reliable wheeling.
 



We also installed a set of warning lights for the water, transmission, and low oil pressure.
This will make things much better instead of trying to look at a guage bouncing around.



Finally we installed a new differential cover by Dynatrac. The factory cover couldn't take the punishment the monster dished out.......go figure.......factory parts break!


                                                                 WILLYS!



The Willys we sold within a few days of buying it, has returned to us. We are starting on installing all of the electrical harness to give this old warrior life again. The T-case has an issue with the linkage so we are working on solving that. We have a new windshield and frame since the other was battered by rust. I also had to mentioned that these jeeps are only 58" wide, just a hair wider than the popular UTV's that are out on the trails!
                                                             GREEN CHEROKEE



We have this jeep in for a few issues.



We are installing extended length shackles in the rear for more travel. We are also replacing the front inner axle seals, as well as the outer axle tube seals to keep all fluids in check.



Finally we needed to repair the rear bumper by adding 1/4" plate steel to reinforce the weak areas for this beefy bumper to do the job properly.
