JerseyJeeps Road Trippin' Thread

So after Milwaukee it was on to Minneapolis area with a stop on Saint Paul and my new favorite beer bar.

And just another experience of road tripping. Seeing odd things on the road. That was a fully inflated tire so he has other issues going on.

Dropped the 7 off and the 401 to scott by about 3 pm sat and at this point the furthest west of the trip at about 1100 miles. I brought the spring weather too while it was raining buckets in NJ all weekend.

Another awesome forum member MN Paul found these wheels for the 79 renegade on a CL auction several weeks prior to my trip. They are the oem correct red stripes 15x8 and came off a jeep from California. I brought him an oem AM FM radio and into the truck they went now that the 401 was outta the way.

Then it was back east with a stop at the dells tourist area of WI using the find craft beer ap to find some more good taps and perfect timing for the badgers winning and getting into the final 4. Not that I cared but being in WI it was just lucky timing :)

I like the "Icelandair" and Sun Country on the same sign. Decisions, Decisions! :wave:
 
Good catch Toby I didn't realize that. Welcome to Minneapolis - Saint Paul airport !!
 
So the rest of the trip I visited forum member Dave K on sunday and dropped off a few parts for him then it was on to get the Chief. Dave has two very nice original scramblers but we both did a 'doh!' when we realized that we didn't take a single pic. :(

Had to swap wheels on the chief to get it to fit on the trailer, but i was prepared for that

You can see the 31s on 10" wide wheels that wouldn't fit between the rails. My trailer is 4" narrower than normal.

You can also see the fender that rusted off during the trip to a point it was flapping in the breeze.
 
Then a few more stops and some sleep Monday night and I arrived Tuesday around mid day.

The story on the chief is it was driven from California around 1986 and parked. 90 k original miles. I have never had a Chief but have always wanted one. This will go in the way way back of the project line but couldn't pass up the clean sheet metal for the price.
