Hello,
I recently joined after having been on the 3B board for a number of years. I got my 58 CJ3b 2008. My father had acquired it in the late 80's from a friend. After my father died, my sibling drove it for a number of years until it would no longer go - then it sat for a long time outside. I recovered it and fussed with it a bit but didn't really get anywhere. Frankly, it was quite a mess. I finally decided to completely restore it and spent the next 8 years doing that both mechanically and the body work as well. As I was working the kinks out a few years ago, with only seven miles on it I cracked the block. It took almost a year to find a good block. That block has been machined and I'm currently rebuilding the engine. I have lots of pictures and hope to get them up soon.
