Yikes! You are absolutely correct. That's what happens when I respond to a
post early in the AM before coffee. I was thinking of a friend who changed the
hubs on his M416 to match his CJ. Only problem is, he drives a CJ now but at
the time of his M416 resto he was towing with a Toyota. It was the Toyota he
was trying to match.

No steering wheel removal. But the inside of Mrs. CRWLR's minivan looked
like something NASCAR would be proud of. There is lots of leg room when the
dashboard is laying on the garage floor.

Anyone else catch themselves wondering what a modern jeep would look
