    Welcome! That looks like a fine Jeep!

    That front roll bar mount scares me though! :shock:

    But...I'm one to talk, I don't even have a rollbar. R)

    I'll post some pictures of the bubba job on that front roll bar mount, there is actually a welded bracket holding it. From the pics i put up here it looks like its just hanging free, but its not. I'm taking the top off today to ride around a bit and get some pics of it.

    I'm betting a pretty hand fabricated tub and front fenders. Steering conversion done on the front, no Ross linkage poking out. It probably had a hard top on it as some point as the lower door hinges and such. The grille looks like it may have been moved forward, poor hood to grille gap.

    Ya, I am thinking the whole tub and fenders were fabbed, no ribs on the rear fender well, although looks like hat channel around the top inside where the tailgate was like a factory tailgate delete model from later years. Pretty interesting. Whats the front floor boards look like on the inside?

    I'll get some more pics loaded up on here soon, the front floor boards are not in the greatest of shape. It appears that the floor of the tub is fabbed as well (no storage under passenger seat, seat mounting brackets are hand made, etc) A friend of mine said that the fenders may be from an old LR.

    I'll have to see if I can see that with a mirror on my frame..

    The only pic i have of the floor..

    Picture of the homebrew steering setup. I'm guessing its a Saginaw conversion?? Has tilt steering as well...

    Anything else I should get pics of?

    Thanks for all the help guys. I'm 99% sure that it has a t-90 that is leaking a bit and pops out of gear when going up hills. I think that I'll pull the tranny out and rebuild it over the winter. The drum brakes could use some adjustment as well. I'm totally excited to get it in better shape and become a more reliable vehicle.
