Hey Nate,
Ultimately, it's your Willys, so wear them how you like it best.

The M38 has footman loops on the exterior of the tub, just for the top straps.� This is how it would look if you put them on the other way...

I decided to name my jeep after Teddy Roosevelt since he founded the national parks.



And I made up this chainsaw clamp for it today also.



This is why I like the M38 top. Noting on the sides like the civilian top.

I like the summer/trail tops, but jeeps are more fun and sure look their best with the top gone and the windshield down!

You can't beat the visibility...!

I love windshield down. The jeep goes faster that way too. ;)

Looks great!
Say, where did you get that rubber floor mat material?

Tractor supply. It is a 4'x 8' or 10' roll. Can't remember which. I also made floor mats for the front too. Thanks!

looks good.  I havent been able to start on mine due to the weather.  I also wanted to see which way your theme was going.  My forestry tribute is going to be very different but I like the way you used your items.  Great use of the forestry stuff.  Cant wait to see it in June.  Keep adding to it.

I made some modifications to Ted. First, I made a swing away spare tire carrier.

And I upgraded the brakes to 11". I had a set kicking around. After a trail run, I was standing on the brakes with the parking brake pulled and I thought I was going to hit the guy in front of me when I was going down a hill. Thats when I decided the 9 inchers had to go!

And then last weekend, I found a nice 6v siren. It works great!

You shoulda left the brakes alone, and used the siren next time you couldn't stop ;D

"Found" a 6v siren? Were there any others lying around? ;)

 :( :(
We are used to get more nicer photos from you. Those one are fuzzy and not clear.

And I don't see enough details about the swing away spare tire carrier. ;)
