    Still here... Fixing/modding the M108 again.

    Another quick update. On way back from findlay show, 5th gear was noisy. It was missing teeth, so transmission is back to a stock OD. I really don't drive it much, maybe 500 miles a year if I had to guess. Still in great shape, starts right up and goes.

    Built a seat. I'm 6'8", so Jeeps are a little small for me. Used some old bus seats, and fitted seat around rear fender well. Gained about 2.5 inches in length room, raised about 2 in, and leaned seat back about 2 extra. I fit much better now. Seat bolts in using stock bolt holes, so I...

    It's green! Daughter and I masked, light sanding, and painted, in about 6 hours. Still needs body work at some point, but looks so much better.
