JerseyJeeps Road Trippin' Thread

[Kiko]

The stop in TN on the way back was mainly for a Comanche Jeep SE 7 foot bed Mat and a few other large items but turned into a 12 hour stop until I ran out of room.

I think I need to go shopping in TN. I'm sure you're willing to provide an address.

On the way to Sacramento ....

What the hell is that? A dust devil?

 

[jerseyjeeps]

Yes it was. A pretty big one actually.

 

[Randyzzz]

So...looks like the '5 was a go?

Congrats!

How come you seem to find all the good ones in OR, and I'm striking out on all mine? (I'm glad you're getting good ones. I really need to concentrate on what I have already...)

Btw Alaska airlines serves free craft beer and local wine on their flights. At Least on 45 minute prop plane flights they do

That's only on the commuter turbo-props; it's a holdover from when Alaska finally rebadged Horizon Airlines as Alaska Airlines (Horizon was their L-48 commuter subsidiary). Nothing is free on their widebody aircraft except softdrinks and a bag of pretzels.

I am currently in Phoenix. The CJ5 is in Sacramento. Ill post more pics tomorrow.

Also good to hear I wasn't totally nuts that I got free craft beer on a flight. Thanks for the additional info

After Weed, CA and the dust devil, it was on to Antelope and JW Jeep.



Then onto my uncles.



Spent a day with him on Tuesday, pulled a few parts off the j10s that I needed for the wrecker and shipped them, and took the red eye home last night.

Sweet '5! Western Bullet wheels...still a favorite.

You are correct, they say western on the rear hub covers and I had no idea what they were. To me they looked like an old ford pickup wheel of the same era, like the ones you will see on some 77-79 Ish xlt and lariats with a different center cap.

Anyway, they are for sale , I am gonna put stock wagon wheels back on it and original tires.

I have to admit that while I'm totally jealous of your adventures, I'm horrified that you're taking perfectly clean, relatively rare, rust-free, west-coast AMC-era Jeeps to NEW JERSEY. WHERE THEY USE SALT!!!! If rust sets in, the Jeep gods may never forgive you.

Eric, what's the history w/ this super clean '5?

One owner?

Did you find it online?

Looks great!

You think I would subject them to the salt ? I know you are just kidding but seriously they are spring summer fall cruisers only and rarely see rain. I have a cherokee on 33s, that stock cherokee sport you see in front of the white 8, and a beater 7 that I drive all winter long.
