Jeep for my Birthday
Today my Jeep was handed over to me , by my Wife Marion . For my 50th birthday present . What can i say , Lucky me , I've been dropping hints for 5 yrs , so it does pay off sometimes ... Plus I put up the canvas hood for the first time and took her for her first run . All went well with ,good oil pressure , good temp , brakes good , lots of waves from

Re: Jeep for my Birthday
I wonder how many "Honey Do's" a Jeep is worth? Oh well, Happy B.D., and enjoy your Jeep!

Was your Birthday the 14th of May? Mine was yesterday, the 14th. And my Bride got me a JEEP also!
We have a 1943 Ford GPW that we went on our first date in, so my jeep present was not WWII. She got me a 1982 CJ-7 that had been though a frame off restoration, then kicked up a notch with a Chevy 350 and all the goodies.
Life is GREAT when you are married to your soul mate, and best friend.
