The thread has way too few pictures. Look at the "shop", looks more like an operating room. And just look at the vehicles he owns in his signature!

just me?

IDK... looks more like one of Jeff396's models to me?? :) If it is real and exists...my shorts just shrank about 10 sizes!
 
That is beautiful. I have wanted a FSJ for tears. Can't get the wife on board yet.

My Scrambler gives me enough tears. Though I have been looking into a Jeepster which would probably help give more.

Seriously, some people have way too much money. White people problems...wish I had them.
 
Wow, that thing is lovely.

Sent by way of pigeon.
 
wow, done in Belgium! 401 in an FSJ on Euro petrol prices... ouch. And he needs to swap out those cheapie wagon wheels for some factory AMCs parts ;)

Randy,

about 5 years ago I found a sub-100k Cherokee Golden Eagle on the San Antonio CL. I was living in Central TX at the time, and contacted the guy to go see it, but on that particular day there were severe t-storms in the area and I got stuck on I-35 south, and decided to call off the trip. I was moving to CO at wasn't really sure that I wanted it anyway, but was very interested as it was black, had a factory add-on brush guard, and it looked un-modified... I'm pretty sure it was the first or second owner, but can't recall. Anyway, it was listed at about 5k. It sold before I had the chance to go back and see it.

That's only the third worst "I shoulda" car buy story I have. The second was an 86 CJ7 w/D44 and bascially rust free but had carb/intake issues for 1200 bucks (hesitated and the second guy in the driveway snagged it).. and the first was a very nice 64 (if I remember) rust-free Willys Wagon in Salida CO. I stopped to talk to the guy, who was about 80, and the second owner.. he'd owned it since 1965 and had done a Ford 289 swap on it in 1967.. which was still installed. At the time I had four cars and a 2-car garage so I hesitated. He was asking 850$.

Yes, 850$ for a rust free willys. Ouch. Shoulda!

NICE!! I often wish I had kept my last J10 stepside rather than going back to a CJ, even a scrambler, and I always miss my 83 Chief WT when I see a nice one....

This one is nice too http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=8Hb1yFyE0yA&feature=endscreen note what pulls out in front of him....

After going back and reading the thread it makes snes that the red one is as nice, they are brothers in the same stable of FSJs..... So is this a business ala toyboxjeeps or just someone's own hobby?

It is the work of a guy named "SportsideDan" on IFSJA. He has built several Sportside J10 Honcho's with 401's and a couple of Cherokee's as well. All are very high dollar and very well done. He has tons of NOS parts as well. The most amazing thing is it is not even in the USA, he is in Belgium! Check out his website at www.jeepjeep.eu

There was a J10 Sportside here a few weeks back, nice, for $2000. I was really wanting to take a look, but my finances are spread way too thin right now.

However, I think there might be a J-Truck in my future at some point. Might be a starting point...only $500 http://bend.craigslist.org/cto/2794840949.html

Trust-reading the website it looks like a hobby, but viewing the videos makes it appear to be a business....
 
I like the hunkered-down look of the originals with widetrack. Jacked up they kinda look ungainly but that's just me I guess. . . .
 
Sportside Dan

Dan is a great hardworking guy.

He also owns a Scrambler and has posted here a few times.

He makes an annual trip to USA and buys his next project driving from wherever to port.

Most times has major mechanical problems along the journey.

Usually stops by and buys parts, although has cleaned me out of FSJ parts pretty good.

I also sold him the very rare "Jeep Truck Center" double sided sign seen pictured on first page. Top corner was cracked and I found a NOS double one at FL stash.
