Giant Thighs.
Painted Threads.
Just Off the Highway.
SHAMEFUL LIST OF JEEPS

POSTER: Me (Commissargribb)
VEHICLE: 1987 AMC Jeep Wrangler Laredo (4.2L Auto)
GOAL: fix problems and shortcomings and maybe make it more capable for off-roading.
DIFFICULTY: Probably a good choice for my first foray into auto mechanics
COSTS: Growing every day- there's a reason why they say "Just Empty Every Pocket"

My dad picked this up for me when I was in Iraq back around 2004 for under $1000 and had the engine replaced. I drove it on and off for a few years but only really started tooling around/working on it about 2 years ago.







POSTER: Me (Commissargribb)
VEHICLE: 1948 Willys Overland CJ2A
GOAL: Remove rust, rebuild, get it to run
DIFFICULTY: HOLYDOGSHIT WHAT HAVE I GOT INTO?
COSTS: $2.2k to start though by the time i'm done, it'll probably be 3 times that.

*update* The '48 was too much for me and I ended up selling it on Craigslist.

Before


POSTER: Me (Commissargribb)
VEHICLE: 1988 Jeep Comanche Eliminator 4x2
GOAL: Convert to 4x4 and build up to be ultimate winter weather/mild off roading/chores doing small pickup.
DIFFICULTY: Shouldn't be as hopeless as my last two jeep projects.
COSTS: $800 initially. I had to repair quite a bit that the PO "repaired" before me.
