It is ON THE SHELF! I don't refer to it as much as I should.

Might be a good idea for Bob to jump in here and give us the ordering info....??

Outstanding book. I bought one last year and have read it all the way through a couple times and am always flipping through random sections here and there for reference. If you're fanatical enough to be a member of this site you should own a copy.

Bob's book, the service manual and parts manual reside in my tool chest in the garage.  It is an ongoing race to see if they or my 3/8" ratchet gets more use in my restoration.... ;)

Joking aside, it is a quality book filled with unbelievable reference info and photos!

Now if Rocketeer will publish a book full of his vast collection of 3A photos........

Aside from being a good reference book it's also interesting reading material. I also highly recommend it for every CJ2-3A Jeep owner.

Speaking of Bob W...I just wanted to give a big "THANKS!" for all of your recommendations, advice, and help with my V-35. Christmas came early this year! ( I have no idea how I'm going to get any work done now lol)

The book has not been revised. The first printing books had a typo on page 91 and that was corrected in the second printing.

Since the book was printed a few more CJ-3A details have been uncovered, but the facts presented in the book are still valid.
Thanks for your support!
