Title: Took the '53 out
Post by: garage gnome on March 28, 2012, 06:27:44 AM: This has been the earliest I have been able to take the jeep out. And not to mention with just the bikini!

And one shot from when I took it out in the winter.

Funny you should say that. This pic made it into the ECJ5 calendar for this year.

I love the winter scene, really nice... I noticed your top was was modified to a half-cab, is that to accomidate the effiency of the heater? Is the heater efficent enough for a winter daily driver? I am a long way from the decision of what style top but I liked yours.
Friday afternoon and I just got a package from KW, life is good.....

Post by: garage gnome on March 30, 2012, 05:02:24 PM: Thanks! I have an original style 7 piece canvas top from Newlife Canvas. I don't drive mine year round, but I take in out on the real cold days to snap a few pics. I usually leave the half cab on all the time for that reason. If I am at a show or someplace and it get cool, I can put the heat on. When I snapped that above winter pic, it was 15-20 degrees out and the harrison kept it sweatshirt weather in there. I made few mods to my harrison shown here:
