Took the '53 out
« 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.

I drive mine year round. That's why and what I bought it for. I need it to get out and back in my subdivision in the winter snows. The good thing is it stopped the bad snows by buying the Jeep.

The beautiful red Jeep in front of the old red barn is very post card worthy.  Do they still make post cards?

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

GG,
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.....

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:
