    Hello All,
    quite some time ago a member posted some photos of my shop and various Jeeps and I was supposed to post more photos of the wrecker. Well my shop has relocated and time has gotten away from me. I am just learning how to post photos so here is my first try. Sorry for the long delay, I am slowly getting things back to normal.

    Wow, that's great. The disk wheels look really cool on there. I guess it's a 70 rear and a 27 front, and the front has adapters?

    Ready for recovery service!

    Tjat is waayyy cooolllll!!!! Love the vented windshield. I'd like close up's if you got them. I'm restoring a vented w/s right now and I have a few holes I can't figure out.

    And what top is that on the red jeep over on the right side of the pict? Looks like some sort of half cab with a bed cover kinda thing......

    I will get some close up photos of the windshield. Any area that you need specific photos of ? Let me know so I can take some accurate photos for you. As far as the wheels I was trying to get away from the two different size wheels to make up for the gear ratio difference that jeep used when they installed a dual wheel set up. This has matching gears now and I wanted to have all the same size wheels and tires. Swapped over the front knuckle parts from a dual wheel fc-170 to make the front work out. For my next restoration of a CJ5 Trencher I have the factory Dana 70 rear and cut down a dana 44 for the front while still using the closed knuckle setup. All the strength of the 44 with the old time look closed knuckle.
