Nice, and thats still w/o the lsd, huh? Did you have to try a couple times to get up some slopes? I like to do the same thing, but have been weary of taking the bus through that type of trail without a skid plate and lsd. The last thing I want to do, is be a burden to other offroaders if I can't get up a hill or get stuck.

it was a few feet off a main path, looked like a jeep picture spot or something. the first pic when my nose is up, i had one wheel break free so i smacked the brakes and took a pic, then backed up, got a couple more mph and made it over the top pretty easy...it wasnt all that hard...just looks super knarly!  Lynn (brown hightop) was about 100 feet away and said it looked like a syncro move from the bottom of the hill
yep, gonna go get my transmission today if i can actually!

That is awesome! You'll have to test it out and let us know how it goes! I'm stoked to read your review of using lsd.

thanks! glad you like it!
one of these days ill get a better camera to get good, clear, HQ pics like Eric Arnold (EZgruv) does...he can make a POS bus look like a calendar worthy shot in my opinion.
until then...cell phone pics 
if you wanted to see a few more shots of the same place, with different angles, i posted more here:

My wife and I just took our 74 Jurgens Autovilla on its maiden road trip after a year-long restoration, to the Kruger National Park.

Not afraid of rain. I'm set for rain. Big buddy for heat. Enclosed canopy I can use as a side door drive away or back end family room. It's the FN work schedule. You know what I'm talking about
