Hey mike, thx for reply. I wasn't lookin for a jeep and and surely wasn't lookin for one of these when I came upon this one. But when I first saw this, I was floored. Just fell in love with it on the spot. I will most likely leave it as it is. I just found out yesterday that the rims were original. One center cap is missing, the other is in the back of the rig. Someone had went to remove them and broke the screws in the wheel. No bigdeal, I'll find another center cap and maybe drill new holes for the screws. Not sure I'd ever get the old ones out

Cool rig, I'd love to find one of them with the wood sides. Saw one a couple of months ago but didn't persue it as I was still workin on a deal for this one. Hasn't been very easy prying this rig out of the guys hands. But I'm real happy with results. Been settin for quite some time. Will change all fluids and I think there is a pin in the transfer case that is being a problem. Shifter for t-case seems sloppy. Will get it to the shop and look into it soon
