“This is a fun, mechanically solid trail jeep. It has been on almost every trail in Washington and every sand dune in Oregon, so it has some issues. I have alway driving this Jeep hard but not to the breaking point. After every trip this Jeep got a good cleaning, fluids checked then got it ready for the next trip before putting it away. It drives pretty good on the street, but with the rear spool and no turnsignals and no full top, it is not a daily driver.

It fires right up but the Holley Projection is really sensitive to the age of the gas and the type of gas you put in it and the gas in it now is getting old, I have always run Chevron Supreme or if I run at higher elevations I run Aviation gas. I took it to Moses Lake sand dunes last summer and it ran a little rough till i burned some of the old fuel out of it. Then with fresh fuel it ran great. Could use some work to make perfect. the wiring need some work and the exhaust need to be replaced Or drive as is.”
