The adventures of a Jeep and its driver.
I went to a car show today representing the Lake Humane Society and saw this beauty.
Talked with the owner a bit. A 1942 Ford GPW, mostly original. He enjoys military re-enactment, so making this a show car is not something he is interested in.
Lots of great old cars to see.
I spy with my little eye, a mule!
The Jeep hasn’t been this clean in a long time. HAHAHAHA!
Got my wrist band from the SV Seeker store today. Saw them in the workshop during my visit last month.
Added a couple accessories to the trailer.
I installed this wireless backup camera. It’ll work OK for the trip, but I think I am going to move it further towards the truck. I can’t see the edges of the trailer. I especially want this for when I am backing up, but it’ll come in handy as a rear view mirror as well.
I also added TPMS sensors. I got a flat tire last year in western Colorado and we didn’t notice it until after the tire was destroyed. Hopefully, this will prevent that from happening again.
Went to a Willys Flat Fender get together. Saw a lot of really cool, old, Jeeps. I am hoping to build a WWII era Jeep someday. I want to make it a project. I have no idea where to start, I am hoping I get some ideas from these pictures.
I’ve had this rattle coming from the back of the Jeep for a little while. Couldn’t figure out what it was.
Turns out the fasteners that hold the heat shield for the muffler in place rusted and it was up there, sitting on the muffler itself, rattling.
Problem solved.
Happens more often than you would think. With the tires aired down so low, branches on the ground can sometimes get wedged in the rim of one of my tires. The solution is simple, just jack it up, take all the air out, and I can dig it out with a blunt screwdriver.
Decided to switch things up and go with a two-tone look. I like it. 😉
I know I have a pickup truck. Nothing wrong with it. But, Jeep is life. 🙂
Needed some drain pipe to get some of the water coming off our gutters away from the house.
Truck got a flat tire the other day. The tread was pretty worn on them all. Decided before I took a drive out east for Freak Fest, I would just get new tires. Not really what I wanted to do.
