Several of us got together for a trail ride over in eastern Alabama at Chocolocco mountain offroad park. I been neglecting my jeep for too long.
My jeep suffered a herniated toolbox floor, from a long history of PA winters and Mr. Rust. The ol' gal surprised all but me, I let my son drive so his arms would be sore from fighting the Ross box. The relpacement tub is still hiding in the garage.

Looking good there Jeff ......... wish that I could have been along!

Just completed (an hour ago) installing one of Carl Walck's repro *radiators from across the pond in my '53 (perfect bolt in fit I might add), hoping that resolves the overheating problem the jeep's had. Old radiator had a rotted core. Just wait'n now on a r/b generator that Jamie P. is bringing over tomorrow and after installing that, mine should be up and running once more.


*All that has to be done to Walck's repros are marking and drilling the six 1/8" holes along the sides to re-mount the fan shroud. Requires a depth restraint device on the bit so as not to slip and drill through the outer cooling tubes. I used a 5/8" length of 1/4' copper tubing and it worked quite well.
