It was taken a part when i got it but that saves me some work on the restoration! It was a 780 mile round trip to get it and it was used on a farm it has never been on the road and its a one owner ig was bought new in 1951. This is what i have done so far its not much because i dont have parts but thise are on the way as of tonight from kaiser willys.

I painted it with rust reformer because the giy i bought it from was going to restore it and only got to gaking it apart and sanding frame,so it was ready or rust reformer, it runs but doesnt drive do to cables and hoses. Plans for tommorow are to detail the engine and clean a few other things up while i wait for parts.

Great looking project. Seems like everything is there and you intend to keep it that way. I'm curious, what brand/type of rear tires are on it?

The rear NDT ones say that? Looks like a more appropriate name for the front ones. Any chance you have a closer pic of them? Thanks!

I need yals opinion on tires, i definitely want KM2s should i get 225/75R16 or 235/85R16, when i replace the suspension i am going to get a 1" superlift kit, i want about a 30"or 31" but i want them skinny so it will still look somewhat stock but with a better stance, i am also considering coker tires super traction, i am also open to move to a 15" rim, any help?

I think you would find those too wide.  You might look at a 215-85-16.  I've had them for years and very happy.  And they look about right in my opinion.  They don't stick out from the side of the jeep.

I really want KM2s and ive narrowed down my choices between 2 sizes 225/75R16 or 30x9.5R15 the prices are about the same when you factor in new 15 inch rims with 175$ a tire or 200$ and keep the same rims?
