Hey guys, I just wanted to give you a shout out from the far east. Its warm and sunny here and its also only 7pm at night! I havent seen any cool big trucks or Jeeps here, but they do have these transport vehicles call Jeepney's. They are old WWI jeeps that have been coverted into a bus/taxi cab transport for people all over the country. People just jump on to these in random places, pay a small fair and ride where they need to go. Pretty sweet. I'd like to get one and lift it, then give people rides while we're offroading. It could be used to raise money for the club! Haha. Anyay, read up more on Jeepney's here….

So does this mean you're going to mount horses and road sign reflector's onto you XJ's hood?  Laugh

Enjoy!

I didn't think that anyone could make a CJ3B front end uglier.

LIES!

The 3B is the most beautiful of all the Jeeps.

Now, who can tell me without the aid of the internet why the 3B looked like it did…

Um…  Because a 4 door version wouldn't become available for fifty-some years?  No?…

Um…  Because Old Man Willy's was drunk when he designed it?

Um…  Because it was designed for the terrain / obsticles it would soon encounter in Europe?

Not even close on any front; what does Europe have to do with any Jeep design?

Do you kids really not know this?!

Are you talking about the too high nose?  It was for the new motor, the F head I believe install of the flat head.

BINGO!

One of the reasons I love the 3B is it was designed ugly because Jeep cared more about a better motor then they did about looks.
