    Haha, maybe. ;)

    Got the new M38 winter top on and new seat covers today and finished up the back. Totally looks like a forest service jeep to me!

    And, you got the Pulaski :D

    By the way, the story about how he saved a group of firefighters is true.

    I left the original voltage regulator there so it looks like it was abandoned in place.

    I decided to name my jeep after the 26th president for several reasons. 1, he founded the national parks, 2, keeping with the bear theme, 3, rough rider!

    And I fabbed up a chainsaw clap for him today.

    My most favorite way to drive him, windshield down!

    I like the chainsaw scabbard. I keep looking for ideas to fab one/some up on my beat up old M416 trailer that we call the "meat wagon". It's primary purpose is game animal collection but is also used for firewood.

    If you know someone at the local fire department. sometimes you can get a piece of CJRL that works great from a hose they're retiring. I'm looking for some currently, thinking it'll make great stuff for under my under seat tank, and a few other random places.

    Loving all the pictures.

    you need a old fire siren on it now,

    I got one on my jeep not sure the year but kinda neat to have, few complements on it from random people.

    is that chainsaw mount hard on the bar? or is the motor supported

    Where did you mount the siren?

    We've hada chainsaw clamp for years on our ATVs and never had issues with the bar. It will be ok.
