Default Yet another one from WV..

Here is my current Jeep:

1995 XJ Sport, 4.0 with Jet stage 2 chip, header, Dynomax exhaust, CA intake, 31x10.50's, alum wheels, Rough Country 3" lift, etc.. It is my daily driver, so I don't plan on doing a whole lot more to it.. It is not my first Jeep, I started with a 1975 CJ5, then later had a 1980 J10, then later a 1993 Cherokee, and now this.. I do have a distant cousin in the barn undergoing a complete makeover. It is a 1943 Ford GPW being restored to full military glory!!

Welcome! You're a ways down the pike from me, but there are a couple guys from Elizabeth around here. Good to have you around, and let us know how that GPW progresses!

It is a tiny little hole outside of Ravenswood.. Out in the boonies.. About 30 minutes south of you.. The GPW is to be finished this year. I'm getting ready to put the engine, tranny, and transfer case back in it this weekend if time allows..

Welcome from South Texas. We need pics of the barned jeep. You know that you will have followers of your build and who will want constant updates. So start a build thread and post up any pics you already have and then any future updates will have a thread to go in.

Wow, that's in pretty good shape (from what I can tell). Heck, just finding one worth rebuilding is getting harder and harder to do. So kudos on the find alone.

It was 100% original with the exception of the red paint.. It was a VFD Jeep for several years..
