Installed the canvas top purchased from Weebee Webbing. Very good product. I installed it following instructions and checking measurements. I am watering it down and drying repeatedly while installed so that it shrinks to fit. You will notice the shovel and axe additions. Zeph was kind enough to pick up the shovel for me at Tower Park last year.
I need to get the windshield wipers replaced as I wrenched one side off tightening it too much. Ron says he won't have any available for a couple of months.

All you need to do now Rodney is save up and get those wheels changed.
No point in spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar. Or even a few hundred bucks of wheel..

You're right Toby. That is definitely on my list. Has anyone had any experience selling the non-combat rims? I figure I could subsidize the expense a little.

Swap meets are the best places to move your Civilian wheels.
16 inch are easier to sell than 15 inch.
I have bought some on craigslist too.
Have sold nice 16 inch ones for $25-$50 each.
nice jeep, you have done a very comendable job!
Been following since your first post!
Enjoy your jeep! Ed
