I drive mine every chance I get. I have collerctor plates so its a grey area just to drive it without a "Reason/event." Well, you can drive it for regular maintenance as needed. Mine always needs to be run every week to keep it in tip top shape..............
I love to drive the deuce to relax and escape to the "other world" I guess thats why I own it.
If you get hassled just say you're going to "show" it as a "historical artifact" at a local school or church or something. There are always "car shows" going on. It is your word against the LEO's. If LEOs know what's good for them they'd snap a salute and wave you on by.


They also cannot deny you to move it for maintenance reasons. Not all of us are "diesel doctors"
. I personally wouldn't dream of pulling over an MV unless the driver was being grossly negligent in his driving practices or the vehicle was unsafe.

I have to bring mine to the house so I can work on it. I don't like dragging all the tools down to the storage lot.

Yes! For no reason and for any reason. When the nieces and nephews visit they have to have ajeep
ride.
The 1943 Ford GPW jeeps vets lots of workout. It goes on most camping trips. Does about 300 miles on a weekend to the mountains.

Everyone looks and gives a thumbs up.

Never been stopped by a LEO ... No PC!

Like a previous post: It won't go that fast! LOL

Keep 'em rollin'!
