My "Little" Jeep

I Know,nopics
So I got a few with my cellphone. The quality may not be so great and some were taken at dusk.This is my 77? Kaiser. I used the 53 Frue M105 frame and suspension. In one pic you can see the bed in the back of my Deuce. I plan to do some painting before I mount the bed. Any comments? ( Have fairly tough skin so fire away )
BTW That's my baby and copilot in life in the Cherokee.

Also plan to flip the hubs and single out. I like the price and availability of the 9x20 ND tires so I'll be sticking with them. Chains are only a small inconvenience to me in winter.

Normally I'm not one for a bobber, but you did a really good job with that. I would own something like that. Maybe beef up the rear suspension and use it as a toy hauler......hauler!!! :D

More detailed pics coming soon. drove it to visit my son in TN. 800 miles roundtrip. Mostly in the rain and at night. Mostly no Interstates. Cheap electric defrosters died 1/2 way home. Used a squeegee. Got checked by Police in Abington Va while taking a break in a vacant lot (3am). 2 cruisers, 3 cops and a K9. They were more interested in the truck than me:D. GOT to get the drivers seat pad redone. My butt ain't 18 no more.Took my own fuel mix in 3 drums under the tarp. Long, tireing, but actually enjoyable trip. Would do it again. Love the truck.

That's one of the nicest trailer-spring bobbers I've seen. How did you attach the subframe?

Drilled and bolted with grade 8's and locknuts.(Pain in tush) Not fond of welding on frames.(that's just me)
When I install my trailer hitch I will vertical plate the the frames together. Didn't have time before the Veterans Day Parade. Mudflaps fore and aft the rear axle are also in the works.
