Re: Got my CJ7 up and safe to drive finally. Yee Haw!
 

Hi Mike : It sure sounds like your able to get up and around a lot more
than before. I to wished I could make it up to your jeep run as well. I've
never been to Canada. I have always wanted to get there . I just always seem
to be working to much. I have been making Jeep Bumpers On the side from my
normal Job and it's been keeping me busy. I know what it's like some what
to be tied up and not being able to go Jeeping. I love being out in the
wilderness . Well good luck on your better health and have fun on your
jeeping.
