Hello form Kansas
« on: October 17, 2012, 04:51:15 PM »
 Been on the CJ2 page a little and lots of time on the G503 site. Really getting excited about jeeping. If I could just get more time away from work. I enjoy restoring old vehicles (mostly military).
 My 3A is not stock, 225 V-6, four wheel discs, M38 grille, and some skid plates on 33" tires. I will try to post some photos.
 All the Best
 Kevin

Welcome!

It's great to have new folks stop in.  Just like the other sites you visit, we demand photos, photos, photos.  I too have a modified 3A.  

Modified or dead on stock, you'll find a great group of 3A guys that appreciate your efforts.  Bottom line is to save as many of them as we can.

Again, welcome.

 Going to try and post some photos.
 First my CJ3A:
west of St. Elmo, Colorado. My two sons head out for a hike.


Over 13,000ft at Camp Hale, Colorado.


My 42GPW at a recognition dinner for a local hero. Dr.Bill Brenner who is a Bataan death march survivor.


The GPW with a couple of my halftracks:


The LVT-3 Bushmaster: which will transport a jeep from ship to shore. First photo was after her first under power test swim. Second photo is a bit grainy as it was raining. Mine is in the center of the photo. The other amtracs are LVT-4 Alligators.

WOW!!  You have a very nice collection of vintage vehicles.  

Where do you find this stuff?

Have you ever had the GPW in the LVT?  On water?

If you ever have the chance, please shake Bills hand for me.  People like him make me proud to be American.

Too cool,
I've been west of St Elmo, on the pass?
Tell me more about your jeep, a Baha3A looks like a cool project.
