brought the new (old) jeep home Saturday night.....my bride agreed with one condition.....if she doesn't like it, it is back to the place it came from.....pronto.....used a tow bar and pulled it with the kid's jeep......nice and slow ten miles up US Hwy 1 in bikeweek packed Daytona Beach....got so many looks from other drivers......the kid stated at one point that he now knows how Jon-Jon feels when driving the old Falcon.....people giving you thumbs up.....but the best was when another Jeep would honk and wave......
well....it is now parked in it's new home right next to the
kid's CJ-5.......spent the better part of this cool Sunday working towards making it road worthy.....pulled the old fuel tank....cleaned the new one only to find multible holes.....gotta put the old one back in......pulled the master cylinder hoping that I had a spare....not to be, gotta find a new master cylinder now......pulled the carburator apart and tried to reseal it.....still got a vacuum leak, but it runs.....
but back to Taylor's Jeep.......after getting it home my bride asked what color we were going to paint this jeep.....the kid and I both agreed that Michigan Yellow was the best......then the kid's sister pipes up and says that since this was going to be her jeep, she wanted it painted pink.....
not quite sure that was an original color but told her we would paint it pink as long as it looked like Michigan Yellow when the paint dried.....of course the kid's sister has laid claim to this one and my bride seems to agree that this is a cool little jeep.....I am not sure she believed me when I told her that the CJ2A was smaller than the CJ-5.....but now she knows.....she even commented that she thought it was cute......not sure if I want a cute jeep or a pink jeep....but it is home now....
of course my bride said that this was the last one........
NO MORE dragging old vehicles home anymore.................
for now..........
CELEBRATE LIFE...........

So my question is??????????
Did you have to build the detached garage for the jeeps??????
or do you make the poor old expo sit outside?????
Love it, but I think it should be PINK, PINK, PINK.......
It would be the talk of town, and you would know where the Kid sister is every minute she was on the road.
The pink jeep is at sonic, it's now at McDs, now at........ get the drift?????
Also the FHP could easily keep track of the Kid sister as she would have the ONLY PINK JEEP in the north of FL
Love it

funny...the longroof and I were talking just a minute ago and he had the same thought....boy you are right...everyone would know where she was and what she was doing....be an easy way to keep track of her....but then Cheryl just came out and said NO WAY....it will be painted an original color only....I'm not argueing that point.....
CELEBRATE LIFE......
Pink--definately pink.
email me your address, I got off of ebay parts to rebuilt wheel cylinders but ended up buying new ones. I'll send you the parts.
Yes, make it a pink jeep!
I agree with Tom, let her have pink. I had a school bus yellow VW Rabbit when I was in High School and didn't get away with anything.
