Random photos: Got anything interesting, unique, strange?

I actually didn't mind the 3-on-the-tree. It wasn't much good for fast shifting, but you run what you brung.

And it's an even better Millennial Anti Theft Device than our manual TJs.

Once the linkage was worn , the shifting became more of a challenge . It was a study in lost motion.

Rumor has it that some 1 st gen Chevy vans had a 4 on the tree. I've never seen one , only 3 spds. and PowerGlides .

If so, that would be the first domestic 4 on the tree I've heard tell of - they seemed to be a European thing. (Cue sudden posts of several domestics with them now!)

I'll keep the hand crank window, thank you very much. Navigation is much nicer when you have BOTH a paper map AND a GPS.

Hand crank windows are not a problem in a TJ but I've had them in some older trucks where I had to pull over to crank the passenger side.

Have you had any regulator failures in your 123? The 124 is famous for them breaking without warning, especially the rears if not used regularly. All you get for a warning is a pop and the sound of the glass dropping down inside the door.

In Idaho? Sherley you gest!

Idaho, if you don't like the weather drive 5 miles or wait 5 minutes... Oh and side note... on these river roads, sometimes there is no where to pull off when it starts raining out of nowhere...

Its a 126, it has the stupid power windows, and yes, I've had problems with the rears.

Electric or Hessin hydraulic ?

Lectric. Never heard of hydraulic windows, but the door locks are vacuum actuated.

Only one I've ever laid hands on was a Hillman, back in 1981. Couldn't tell you what year the car was, but it was the first time I'd ever heard of a "4 on the tree".

I faintly remember driving something with a 4 speed on the colom back in the day. I kinda remember having to pull up on the shifter for reverse.

It goes back to the Grosser Mercedes 600 , almost everything was hydraulic powered from a central pump providing 2100 p.s.i. including the window lifts .
Typical German approach . I didn't know when they stopped the madness , apparently some time before the 80's .
