Hello
Thought i should thank you all for the help and input you have given on this build. I cought myself up on the history of this build. I will tell you that he did a great job and it runs like a bat out of he!!. I hope to find him on a cj form and watch his handy work on the 5. As of my plans for the buggy is disk brakes up front first off. Found a kit with spidels and all. Going to order this week. I just came off a rather large project and seem to want more to do. Had plans for the cj but ended up blowing my budget on s10 377ci build. |

well guys i sure am missing the good forums  i have been trying differet forums for jeeps with not much luck. there isnt the "FAMILY" feeling of the people you meet with jeeps like there is the vw world. oh well i might be a part of the vw family again some day. i have put over a thousand miles on the jeep and averaging 21 MPG. fixed all the weird wiring issues and had to rebuild the power steering pump. found a tranny for it for 100 bucks. so things are doing good and the family enjoys it. just wanted to stop by and say hi

Was wondering if you were ever coming back to check in...
I used to ride Harley's back in the day's of brotherhood, and good times. Now its just a bunch of "Ego's". I did the jeep thing myself for awhile too. I didn't care for the attitudes on a lot of sites, but I will keep my opinion to myself. 
Now I'm building a rail and so far Samba has been quite helpful and polite like a good forum ought to be.
Glad your enjoying the jeep, but don't let that stop you from checking in with us here, you have some good input on rails and such. |

You might want to try earlycj5.com I have been a member there for years and it's a great sight. Helpful and no flaming going on. Hope this helps. I have enjoyed looking through your build. |
