Current / Future Projects - Finish installing new rubber all around,
decide whether to stick with the 4 barrel carb/intake manifold or start
saving up for fuel injection, think about painting the truck (they have this
thing called rust in Illinois that I never saw in AZ).
History - This truck was my daily driver from '85 thru '95. Now it's
primarily for recreational driving, I've had it on most of the dirt roads in
Arizona Elk country. I don't know what to do with it now that I'm in
Illinois, no dirt roads!
Other Jeeps Owned - I learned to drive in Dad's 19?? Willys military jeep,
I also own a 1995 ZJ Laredo V8
