Will I make it? Jeep project!

And, although using Jeep catches, not CMP ones, another mod to keep. (note the welded shut holes for the fire extinguisher and shovel brackets as well as the still present hole and grommet for the wiper wiring):





I have a Dyneto, but unfortunately only a 2 post one...

For Mike: THE CRACK!

...only provisionally tacked, not repaired. To me it looks like an impact damage, not fatigue. Since there is no other deformation on the rail, I think the steel structure (snow plough?) hit soemthing and lifted it up and it snapped. You will also notice the snapped and deformed slat grill. Although it is in the area of the shock absorber, I believe it can be safely repaired once cleaned as it is in the way of the tubular x-member. What do you think?

The CJ-2A civilian jeeps after WW2 had a top cover system that used vertical tubes in the rear corners to support the top bows. Maybe sometime your Jeep was fitted with something similar to make a CJ top for CJ like top support.

I notice the early 'pancake' air filter , which you can sell and then buy a house with the proceeds !

Welding should be OK but I am not the person to ask , my welding is crap.

Crazy money indeed. I was happy that it was still on the Jeep! Not sure for how much originals are going for now if you can find one, but the new repro one from Darcy is priced at USD 625,00 plus shipping and duty when imported!

My Head Light Guards from Jordan arrived today! I am pleased with them. They look completely different from the one I have from LWD; but that will be fine, as they are welded, not bent!
