**SirJames** · December 12, 2019, 4:54pm

I can’t wait for you to outwheel John on leafsprings

**DeltaCharlie45** · December 12, 2019, 10:16pm

Awesome!

Your Jeep is the shizzle Kate! Look at that silly JL behind you, it thinks it’s a Jeep but it has four doors so…

**Gogged** · December 12, 2019, 11:58pm

That thing is badass. I am jealous… and it is much prettier than John’s JL!

**x7tristan** · December 13, 2019, 12:01am

Pretty cool Jeep I love the color! Can’t wait to see you out on the trail.

**Gogged** · December 13, 2019, 12:04am

what year is it?? has a V8?

**john** · December 13, 2019, 12:06am

'78. PO swapped out the 304 for a 401 V8

**Gogged** · December 13, 2019, 12:08am

damnnnn

**kate** · December 13, 2019, 1:03am

Thanks. I had to trade john in for her but I feel like I still came out ahead!

**R3DLEG** · December 14, 2019, 12:28am

Awesome, Kate. Get that bad boy on some big tires! You can wheel with me and leave the shiny 4 doors to the easy stuff!

**Digger** · December 14, 2019, 8:34pm

Nice! Congrats and can’t wait to see it in action!

**Frank** · December 16, 2019, 12:34pm

I bet that thing sounds nice with a V8 in it! Can’t wait to see it on the trails. Nice short top too. Did you get a soft top or bikini? Is that a board and bike rack on it? Don’t let John wheel it, he’ll rip the step off.

**john** · December 18, 2019, 12:17am

Since shes not responding I’ll answer your questions Frank.

It sounds ok, could probably use a tune up but I suck at carburetors and haven’t seen a timing light in 20 years.

While the half-cab is unique I don’t think high back seats would be very comfortable since there isn’t much room to recline. Right now it has some kind of custom bench low-back seats. I have no idea how she was able to drive it home from Madison county in those seats, not the most comfortable.

There are no soft or bikini tops yet but I’m pretty sure we’re going to convert it to just a full soft top. We both think a spice colored bestop would look good with the body color.

Yep, it’s got a rack on it. I believe the roll bar is aftermarket and designed for the half-cab conversion since its taller than the top. Been looking for a factory style roll bar to replace it with. The nice thing is that it has a frame tie-in for the roll bar.

Those steps gotta go before its actually wheeled which is realistically going to be a while.

dang…I was in mexico all weekend. I just got back! I was going to respond but since you did, thanks and what he said Frank!

**dajanx** · December 18, 2019, 1:48pm

That thing is sweet, congrats Kate

**Misplaced_Yota** · December 20, 2019, 9:20pm

I have a black hard top that never gets used if you are interested. It’s in great shape.

**R3DLEG** · December 21, 2019, 1:29pm

For what Jeep?

**Misplaced_Yota** · December 21, 2019, 2:08pm

It’s off of my 86 CJ. I only use the bikini top.

**john** · January 4, 2020, 8:42pm

Got a spice soft top for Christmas but someone doesn’t want to get rid of the half top.
