    Looks great!

    Any issues w/ the automatic and no wheelbase stretch?

    Is that a 60/40 bench seat up front too?

    Nope, no issues. In fact, the rear drive shaft is a tad longer than the one in my other '67 with the factory T18 setup. This one has a Tom Woods double cardan rear shaft, and a Tom Woods long travel front shaft to accommodate the front shackle reverse. Yes, it has the factory Tuxedo Park bench, Dad had it reupholstered.

    With the few engine mods (cam, offenhauser and Holley 390, MSD, etc) this Jeep is pretty "lively"

    The Pittsburgh guy always likes to see a black and Pittsburgh gold Jeep anywhere.

    Good thing you did. Once you use it once or twice. You"ll love it.

    I have the same winch. It's a very fast winch. Be very careful reeling in the last few feet of cable. Just the motor slowing down can bury the hook into the fairlead. (The max speed of 73ft per minute.)

    Glad to see you decided to keep the winch.

    Great looking and tastefully built CJ.

    Would enjoy seeing more pics of it if you can.

    Due to it being driven on salty roads, and the fender flares, it had developed some deep surface rust, and a couple cancer spots. I've been working on repairing it..
