I bought this Jeep as a pile of parts on a trailer. As it’s from New England, the original tub was toast, so it came with an 80’s vintage fiberglass unit. I had to scrounge for some pieces, but, all in all, it was complete… completely shot that is. Thanks to Kaiser Willys, I was able to obtain everything to rebuild or replace all the systems. We all know how much paint materials are, so I used Rustoleum primer and enamel on it after stripping every inch of green off it. I also used a roller, not a spray gun. I am happy with the results and touch up is a snap. The F-134 ran very good after a real tuneup and new fuel system. I take it out several times a week, but speed is limited due to the 5:38 gearing. Someone must have ordered it for snow plow or farm duty. I fabricated a rear fold down spare tire carrier and the side steps. I enjoy driving it now that many of the bugs are worked out, and get many many Jeep waves.

Nice job! I’m close to done on my 68, also a new england Jeep that was worked hard for many years. It was a basket case. Waiting for a few more parts then I’ll hopefully get it in the road before it snows! It’s been 3.5 years of work, so I’m ready!

That’s quite a spare tire rack, you might consider getting a patent on it. Nice going.

Put some 34X9X16 underneath. It will counter your low gears. Tite fit but it works on my CJ5, rubs only during serious offroading.

Nice to see another basket case brought back to life, where did you find those wheels ? I really like the overall appearance
