Out of curiosity, do any of you ever wish you had an LJ for wheeling?

There are a few spots where an extended wheel base would help. I'm not about to go buy one though

It's rough. The roof leaks in a few areas and caused the wood to rot. It's going to be a big project
Glad it made it safely and in one piece. Looks like a fun little module to build for trips. Plenty of ways to modernize in a small form factor. The goodness is how common small builds are these days (tiny homes) that you'll have no shortage of ideas and references to tailor it to your intentions and maximize usage/space.
Post a link if you do a build thread on it.

Will do. Canned ham trailers has been a fun resource so far. I'll need to invest in some woodworking tools first

No one commented on it, but thankfully they're all very nice. I doubt they'd have a problem if I parked and worked on it from time to time. It's parked in a storage facility in the meantime.Are your neighbors snooty or can they appreciate nostalgia?
It's 1 foot higher than my garage door at the front of the camper. I'll have to get creative somehow. It'd be nice to get in inside over the winter and start pulling skins and replacing rotted pieces.
From my research, these are fairly simple and constructed with regular 1 Xs. It's surprising how they're able to hold together

Found a Colorado plate out in a field today! Needless to say, its found a new home in the garage with a handful of other plates.
License plates make such good wall decor for the shop! I have a bunch as well.
If you want a WA plate for your collection let me know. Got full size and motorcycle size.

wow that's an old one. I keep all my old plates too why haven't I thought of this!
In the "old days" they would dump stuff out in the low ground seasonal flood area or along the creek where the bank washed out.
Found a license plate from 1913.
I was kind of sad that they were already "taxing" cars that early!

This was in a pile of cans, metal cartons, and barrels. Really wanted one of the cartons but they were all beat to hell

Thanks to the uniden 520xl. Served me well up until 2 years ago when it wouldn't recieve any transmission (I think the speaker died). Pulled it out of the jeep along with the wiring, antenna cable, and antenna. The grms made its way to the center of the ARR mount.
