This is mainly my surfboard hauler and sometimes cruise around town Jeep.  That's it.  Definately not my daily driver.  I bought it broken down and ugly as crap.  Did a bunch of work to it and still have work still to do.  Right now it's got a broken driveshaft because the U-Joint locked up at 55mph.  The paintjob isnt all that great and I just installed the stereo which is awesome, just no bass.  The yokes need to be resealed, needs a handbrake,  fuel return line needs to be replaced(leaks oil from the top of the valve cover), breather needs a new gasket, the exhaust has a leak and the windshield wiper motor needs to be installed.  Other than all of that, its great for what it was bought for, hauling me and a friend to the beach with a couple surfboards on top.  And the carbeurator needs to be rebuilt or a higher performance one needs to be put on it.  I'll add more pictures later on.

That's a great color for a surf truck. The black and green wheels are a nice touch. I like your style. Keep shooting the curl. Gave you 5 stars.

I like your write up. I have never seen a jeep that didnt mark its place. I would check the oil in the Tcase, if it isnt leeking, it could be out of oil. thats the way mine is and it is new. have fun fixing but have more fun driving it.
