im not sure where im taking it yet. still a long ways away from that. i had it towed because you have to pump the clutch and the brakes for them to work so i deemed it unsafe to drive home. when i open up the diffs i'll take pics for you guys. first thing is to start saving up money for parts. in the meantime im going to start sanding on the body to remove all rust. going to paint the tub black and im thinking lime green for the bumpers, sliders, and rollbar. ( i like to stick out ;D) plan on keeping the 2.5 until it blows up but as of right now it runs great, just have to get used to the manual choke is all. im currently in college and will graduate 2013 so maybe around the time i'll come out to connecticut and wheel with you guys.

really the lack of tail lights did not stop
or the lack of seat belts
you realize it has the wrong roll bar in 82 all jeeps had 3 point seatbelts that is all i see right now
the 151 will out last the sr4 and the amc 20 so start looking for parts to do a drive train swap
just bring it down to me leave the keys and a blank check and i will get you rolling right

im told that 151 is bullet proof. the roll bar was given to me but i plan on using that, putting in suspension seats and 4 point harnesses. first thing is sanding down the body and rust repair. then doing a complete tune up and changing all fluids. then im gonna learn how to drive stick ;D and slowly do my addons (armor first)

So maybe it wasnt the whole clutch and brakes being finicky.. it's the learning how to drive with a clutch that put it on a flatbed? lol

;D hahaha Yep, I think not knowing how to drive a stick had a lot to do with it being flatbedded to the house. Reptile, you have some work ahead of you, but you'll learn a lot along the way and you'll have a rig to go play on the trails with by the time you are done.
