Been using this thing AS-IS for the past few years, and its been great. Probably put a few thousand miles on it. Here's some stuff from a few recent trips.

After being on the road for 5+ hours (especially with the top off) and getting home when its 100 degrees out, unpacking the jeep and the trailer is about all I got in me. I'll get around to it eventually, but its going out again this weekend and its not gonna take any longer to clean it after...

Well, its a jeep, and I use it. No reason to clean it if im just gonna take the top off again and go on another trip this weekend right?

I should probably give a little attention to the inside

Thanks, that has been the goal. Planning to keep it mostly as is and continue doing what we are doing!

Check out my build thread if you wanna see the full story. Just click my profile and dig around my posts

Sometime in the 60's the army bought it. Then sometime later sold it. Then who knows how many people owned it, then I bought it, built a rack, built a spare tire mount, built a battery box, painted it, bed linered it, added stabilizing jacks, new shocks, and put modern radials on it. Thats...

Yup. Few picks from earlier trips

Flash forward a little over a year, my jeep is still ultra generic and boring as hell. Did a 525 mile 3 night trip this past weekend, about 120+ of that was off road, we were roughly 60-70 miles from pavement for the 2nd night. Nevada is remote.... I'm sure ive done some stuff to the jeep, but...

Did I do a overland?

Well, jeep is gone, and my new set of problems has come home. Looking forward to working with and driving this 69 Highboy. Its got some body rust I need to take care of, but thats about it. Runs and drives fantastic.

Not 100% sure. I've had a few ideas floating around in my head these past few years. I'd honestly love to find a Late 60's/70's F250 4x4 and sell my 2wd '74 F250. Ive been saying to my wife, if the F250 had been a 4x, I would have sold the jeep long ago. Or maybe an old flat fender willys...

Well. With an odd feeling in my heart I am here to report I have taken payment on the jeep, and it will be shipped off to Kentucky in the coming weeks. What a ride this has been. 10 years, nearly 30,000 miles. I bought it as a college graduation present to myself. I proposed to my wife on...

Sorry, wasnt trying to be vague, just that I'm not actually listing it on ExPo. I am asking $7,000

Kinda weird feeling.
