Large Scale Central

(T)rail vehicle

One of my other interests is older Jeeps. I have had a series of CJs. The one I have now is a 1980 CJ7 I bought 10 years ago from the original owner, who paid $5700 for her brand new. Times sure have changed, you can spend six figures on a Jeep now, it’s kinda crazy.

I grew up next door to the original owner, Wade, and this Jeep. He set it up for hunting, probably around 1982. It has many cool features, but the most distinctive IMHO is the safari seat on the hood. Wade’s original seat mount dry rotted last year, I think it was the one he put on in 1982. So yesterday I reused the hardware and made a new wood mount.


Keeping it G rated…a flatcar load I did last year

I had a 1943 MJ back in the late 1960’s. Army Surplus.
Bare bones, no top, heater nothing.
I can still remember the fun I had with it.
Today, I ride a Polaris RZR doing the same thing.
