  • Longest journey so far in the jeep today. From home up to Dallas Autos in Newbury and back - 91 miles! Nice driving conditions, took the back roads through some great countryside including a couple of challenging gradients - jeep took all this in her stride, no problems whatsoever. Long way for a tin of paint and two half door fastner... more

  • Having changed the cable positions to get them in the right order - see previous post on this - http://fredsjeep.blog.co.uk/2008/06/22/toolkit-update-aamp-dashboard-4347214 I decided that the repro choke cable and the old M201 hand throttle cable (which has a brown knob and is marked "starter") needed some looking at.

I wondered for a while if I actually needed a windshield cover, after all how many times would I be driving it with the windshield folded down? - well after this, as many as possible! The cover came from Worthing Canvas at the Beltring show, well done to them, it's a great piece, fits great, looks great.... more

  • Whilst at the Beltring show I bought a nice repro grease gun bracket, the locking type for lever guns used on later jeeps. Have been waiting for one of these for a while to test my theory that the four welded up holes I found in the side of the hood were in fact for the grease gun bracket When the bracket was offered up, the welded up holes all... more
