How I got my Jeep - Dcp_0257.jpg (0/1)
 

All,

I want to tell you how I came to own a Jeep. Dont stop reading its
kind of entertaining. My wife and I inherited our Jeep. So far our out
of pocket expenses come to $497CDN. The Jeep is a 1974 cj-5. It is in
original condition, its even got the original brakes in it. It has a
304 and the 3spd and it has 42000 miles. on it. It has never been
winter driven or driven in the rain (the first owner was a little
strange). It has the original soft top too. I was a little dubious
about it being original given that it is black and black was not a
color option in 1974. It turns out that, according to the original
sales reciept, that the Jeep was factory ordered in black. I have
included a picture because I am fairly excited about it. The history
of the Jeep is strange. It has been in pieces since 1986. The two
previous owners wanted to restore it but had little time. The
gentleman that we inherited it from, my wifes Uncle Bob, hired a
certified mechanic to reassemble it just prior to his death. He had
the opportunity to drive it for only a few weeks. The whole senario
under which we inherited it are a little strange too. I was looking
for a Land Cruiser at the time. Uncle Bob chastised me. While he was
alive we teased each other about Jeeps and Land Cruisers. You see, my
very first vehicle was a LC. I have owned 3 in my life. I am a firm
believer in destiny and coincidence, and I have to admit there are
some things that I like more about the jeep than I liked about the LC.
Rest assured, the Jeep, now called UB (Uncle Bob) will see rain and
mud and more. After all Jeeps are meant to be driven. There are some
mods that I want to perform first. The first is a spray in bedliner
inside and on the bottom of the tub. Soon we will be hitting the
trails.

Thanks for you patience. I will be imposing on the group for its
advice off and on. Sorry for posting a pic to the group. I have not
yet seen one and I suspect that its a no-no. If it is I beg your
forgiveness.

Karl

Um, I tried to attach the pic, but no results. Could someone tune me
in? I am kind of new to the news group thing and would appreciate the
advice.

Welcome.

Your ISP is keeping you from doing something most of the
regulars here would rather you not do.. i.e. posting a binary
to a non-binary group.

Try alt.binaries.pictures.autos.4x4
down the hall to the right. Can't miss it.
When you post it there just post another message here
letting the folks know what the subject is.

That or post a link to the picture on your website.

Doug,

I tried to post it to the group you suggested but no go. Any other
suggestions?
