    I ran to Napa for my coil and the owner started asking questions about my jeep. He then told me he had a jeep out back with a plow on it, so we went to look. 1977 Cj5, 304, 3 speed with 22,000 original miles on it.:shock: Paint was faded and no dents. I told him about this site hope to hear from him.:) :beer:

    Just remember plow miles are like dog/human years -- one plow mile == 7 regular miles of driving...;)

    I run into someone like that every week or so and alot of times have a good friendship with them becaus of these old things. Everyone seems to have a different respect for you when they find out you are into Jeeps, especially the old Jeeps.

    You're a better man than me. I would have tried to haggle with him.

    Actually, I gotta say X2 on that, and I would have probably mentioned that his was a big POS that was probably worth about $500 and I would give it to him just to help him out by hauling the junk off.:) :)

    I thought about asking him about selling, but I figured he knew what he was doing after all, he own's a Napa store before he got the jeep.:) :beer:

    VeeDubs seem to stalk old Jeeps. I got one on the street in front of the house that won't go away. Heck Jerry has a crossbreed.
