picking up pecans last week or so

Thanks for taking a interest! The jeep was really the first thing I bought after I graduated school in 2001 and started work. my father has had a CJ-2A longer than he has had me. That little jeep was one of my fonder memories of childhood, so first chance i got, I had to buy one of my own! It took about 3 years or so to get it in the condition its in, its not a perfect restoration by no means, but it is mostly stock, and always a work in progress. Im glad i did it then, because i couldnt afford to do now ;).

Post by: gmcjr on November 15, 2012, 09:48:28 PM: Howdy! We live about 40 miles due north of the Dallas metro-mess. The frame was a part of an old boat trailer,the axle is a piece of 2[ch8540] drill stem w/ flanges welded, and a set of Jeep front spindles and hubs bolted on, the spring are old rear ones. I call it recycling!! Haha. We have just a few native trees on our place, what pecans I have found have been filled out good, but there's a lot still in the trees.

We interact so much, I thought you were hanging here on a regular basis. ;)

Not super rambunctious at the 3A Page, but still lots of good info and a great group of 3A faithful popping in on occasion.
