It must have been a real challenge for the engineers back in the 1940's to design a vehicle that they did for almost everywhere in the world, and suceed in coming up with what we have as a very reliable utility vehicle that all of us are rebuilding or restoring for what ever purpose we think it will do for us. And thanx to "oldtime" for his knowledge and posts. What a deal, could it be done today? Dick W. Spokane Wa. -------------------- 1954 CJ-3B Semi-modified for trail riding in the Northwest.

Yes, as oldtime has asked many times, please put at least your state in your profile so people can easily tell if you're from their part of the country (or the world).
We don't really need to know your town, just the state so we can get some perspective on distance.

Please put at least your state in your profile.
Thanks.

Dick,
You got that right.
I think the standard NDT's is a prime example of the problem.
They are an exceptionally great rock tire but nearly worthless in the sand.

O. K. I'll say it again.

Speaking of huge, when I bought land here in this then still small agricutural town and built my home back in '74, the population was around 6,700 residents and there was less than 100 businesses. Today the population, including the ETJ, has well over 100,000 residents and as I understand, somewhere in the neighborhood of 3500 businesses. -------------------- Larry Steed '53 Willys CJ3B '52 Willys M38 '81 CJ7 M100 1/4 ton jeep trailer M416 1/4 ton jeep trailer
