The cut out in the dash your talking about was standard with or without the column shift. The hole is in the floor that I’m talking about above the steering column, maybe looks like a rectangle if you zoom in the first picture, a little hard to see but visible. Your are correct, that...

A quick look at the dash and you can determine this is indeed a DJ3A with the round gauge cluster which included the speedometer, fuel level and temperature. The traditional cj2a and cj3a dash had five separate gauges. Also I would say this originally was a column shift as you can see a decent...

I’d do it yourself after having a shop evac the system completely. It’s really not that bad of a weekend project and you get more experience Working on your jeep plus probably doing a better job taking your time then paying someone else to throw it together as fast as they can. Just my opinion

Brought my 1945 Ford jeep to the airport and got to ride in one of the first airliners a 1929 Ford tri motor. Fun day!

Thought I'd share some pictures of a few jeeps I bought and sold in high school. Still have a couple of them to this day.

Looking good, That first start will be exciting!

If your paying 20 to 30k for one I wouldn't expect it to have any issues if its been fully restored. I have had 3 CJ7s around the 10 to 15K price range and no real major mechanical problems. The 4 speed I had popped out of 3rd when going down a hill but again if its been restored everything...

I think it all depends what your doing with the jeep. If its a weekend driver the CJ would be a lot of fun, If its an every day driver the TJs are much more comfortable with the more modern comforts that come with them. I've had almost every model jeep from the 1940s to 2005. If I had room I'd...

Not sure what parts your looking for and I’m not very familiar with the dj jeeps but I’ve heard they have some stuff that is interchangeable with the cj. some willys suppliers I have used over the years are Walcks4wheeldrive, kaiserwillys.com and g503parts but the last one mainly deals with...

Things worked out for me this time so I’ll see you guys tomorrow!

I had a 4BT Rubicon LJ. That jeep was bad ass but I move a lot so couldn't justify keeping it with the size of it. If I was to build another diesel jeep I'd probably try the 3.9L ISB.

I would like to tag along, will know for sure by Friday.

No worries and hopefully you have a better experience with the hard top. On a side note I did like the carpet headliner they put in and color match was a nice option. I just couldn’t live with all the leaks in the winter.

On page two I posted my problems regarding the top plus the headache of getting my money back. My opinion is get an original top and don’t waste your time or money on one of these, the top itself was fine but all the seals And back door are cheap and leak water bad. if they haven’t even...

here’s a few shots we got. I meant to get one of all the jeeps lined up before we started, next time.
