Already it looks much better? Maybe because this is a more "in person" photo.

It seems all vehicles these days are coming out of the same CAD software - from sedans to performance cars to trucks and SUV's. If Jeep/Fiat would change the front lights and rearrange the rear lighting it would look different from the CRV's and Rav4's and Escapes of the world. Does seem like Jeep is trying to make it look more aggressive with the wheel/tire combo and the front hooks.

I gotta see it in person to make a final judgment. :juggle:

Worked on me. My dad made me smoke a Winston and big fat cigar back-to-back when I was around 12 or 13. Turned green, puked up 7 meals and I was cured of EVER wanting to light up anything but a birthday candle :dizzy:

That would do it!
I figured my Dad smoked enough for ten people so didn't think there was ever any reason to smoke cigarettes/c-gars for me :wink:

Now there was a time ...............but that was for my eyesight.......................

No Tom, just an old '64 David Bradley/Sears garden tractor. It has all the parts I need to finish the restore on the one I have and a mower deck and the reare rear turning brakes that's impossible to find, even back then.
Sucks cause by the time I would buy it, then put money in the gas, I will have more in the parts than I actually paid for my running tractor. :dizzy:

I'm game to go get it
may never find all the parts you need again :wink:

Bob you'll enjoy this ...........I printed it off to show some of the Amish guys down home next trip to get their reaction :ROTFL:

Hoping the horse doesn't get their tail wrapped around the water pump / fan blade

Owner: Ken Burrer from Elyria, OH (about an hour west of Cleveland).
A little bit of back story first: Here in northeast Ohio, there is a large Amish community. And, as a result, it’s not uncommon to pass horse-drawn buggies as you drive further into the rural areas.
So, after Burrer acquired a buggy for use on his farm, he got an idea: How cool would it be to put a Mock-Up Engine on the front?
Burrer went to work, installing a replica of the venerable Chevy 350 small block onto the buggy’s chassis. Then he outfitted the “engine” with real parts, like an Edelbrock carburetor, Summit Racing chrome valve covers, and even an authentic water pump.
The result is a buggy that will really turn heads at the next barn raising. Burrer also assured us that he’s never short of stares as he pulls it around his neighborhood.
Again, the engine is a non-running mock-up and the buggy still uses a traditional one-horsepower/four-legged powerplant

Is he Amish? We had an Amish guy that was quite the comedian he'd would be one to do this . He always wanted to race my cycle with his bicycle. Of course he asked for a head start.

No the guy that built this is not Amish, he's English. He has a Amish buggy to ride around on the farm and to take on short trips around the neighborhood I guess, but still a gearhead at heart! :lol:

Well darn,

That's AWESOME!!

Would be a head-turner around here for sure - folks would have a conniption trying to figure out what to make of it :POPCORN:

I was visiting customers up in Ashtabula and one of them has an Amish hired hand. We got to talking about how he can't ride a tractor cuz his bishop disapproves. But other bishops at different churches are OK with driving tractors as long as it's for work, using cell phones as long as they're for work, etc. He said one of his buddies who's allowed to use a cell phone was pulled over by the sheriff for texting while "driving" his buggy. Guess he kept dropping the reins while typing and the horse would wander back and forth across his lane and the sheriff thought there was a medical problem. Evidently ole Josiah was carrying on quite a text conversation and it ended up getting him in trouble with the law :ROTFL:

What is "it"?

Inquiring minds want to know - especially those of us who may have wanted to throw you an offer on "it"

Little story here for you all this evening :wink:

8 years ago it was posted on here that a 02-04 ARB bumper was for sale South of Chicago
Some guy had installed it on his sons 03 KJ Renegade that they had lifted with a RRO Spacer lift. After blowing out 3 front shocks, wearing out two UBJs and causing a wreck when the last ball joint broke at 60 MPH they decided that you couldn't lift a KJ. I got the RRO lift ( still have it) the front flares, 2 busted UCAs, and some other parts .
Hauled them back and since I had the OME lift already ordered waited and installed everything within a week.
Since that time, its protected the front of mine from a couple of rocks, a tree, 4 deer, a Toyota Camry and a Chevrolet Pick up. Its held many a tool during tune ups, oil changes, changing/updating lifts, like an old friend always there to help me out.
Tomorrow it comes off ............................ :cry:

and will be heading East some time soon (when we come up with a date) to another state after I help them install it.
Who's getting it? ......................
