Thanks guys.

I been restoring ww2 trucks jeeps and even airborne bulldozers for years.

After about 7 ww2 jeeps, 3 1941 dodge 1/2 ton closed cabs (like the one pictured) a 1944 dodge command car, a 45 wc51 weapons carrier, a 42 Chevy G506 cargo truck, and a 44 Clark airborne dozer, etc etc I'm slimmed down to the 3A and the dodge 1/2 ton pictured.

Btw: we will be moving to Woodland park, Colorado in two years.
It's up rt 24 from Colorado Springs.

I'll be looking for a club and like minded jeep guys once we get there. I see your from Fort Collins?

Hello all.

I'm dave from southeast Oklahoma.
Clayton to be exact.
Many of you Texas, Missouri and other neighboring states may know of our little off roading area.

I recently picked up a 1951 cj3a.

Driving it now and enjoying as is until I get to the restoration.
I'm purchasing all the parts I need as paychecks allow so when the teardown begins I'll have paid for all the big ticket items.

It's a great runner. Previous owner "thought" it had a bad tranny but that noise ended up simply being a splash shield hitting the front driveshaft! Tranny seems fine as is. No jumping out of gear. No grinding.

Still, I purchased a completely rebuilt t90/D18 case for it as I thought I would have a rebuild in my future. I jumped on this before I knew.
Oh well.

This jeep has a PTO Ramsey winch up front.

I'll get that back on eventually. PTO still on tranny now.

Any other members nearby?
