No Updates for Sunday

I was busy all day on the jeep. Progress was steady and the unusual lack of swearing suggests it was a successful day! I will have pics and a report in the next couple of days.

On another note, I’ve been experimenting with no-kneed, no commercial yeast breads over the past few weeks. Right now I’m using a strain of sourdough from the San Francisco area. Besides the sourdough, there’s only salt, water and flour. I bake at 455 degrees in a thick ceramic backing dish with a lid.

So far, the results have been great! Check out that last batch here:

breadsI’m going to ‘grow’ a few more starters and try some more complex combinations of flour. I will also be trying a dutch oven in our regular oven to see if that produces a slightly different flavor from the ceramic baking dish. I’ve just ordered both of Chad Robertson’s books as a happy-birthday-to-me gift (bday is later this week) to help expand my repartoire: Tartine Bread & Tartine Book No 3. Stay tuned!

A Couple Unusual Alaska Hardtops

• CATEGORIES: Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Paul forwarded these two photos of hardtops. Anyone know who manufactured these tops?

The first one is the same model of hardtop Paul’s dad had on his jeep. Paul notes, “This is an old metal hardtop which was used on the WW2 Jeeps. The windows in the doors are moved up and down by straps on the inside of the doors.”

hardtop-oddball1

This is another version of the same top. However, the doors on this top have been modified so the vertically sliding windows were replaced by fixed pieces of clear plexiglass. Rather a boxy design even compared to a Jeep.

Front differential is a Dana 25 and Dana 53 in rear. The tags show the gear ratio as 4:88. Three speed manual transmission with twin stick transfer case.

I believe we have seen this one previously, but I can’t seem to find the post. The can on the hood is pretty memorable.

1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A. It has an F-134 “Hurricane” 4 cyl engine. Runs good, but the engine smokes a bit. Brakes are good I have driven on the road. New front brake lines, new headlights, new battery, new front wheel bearings, gas tank was boiled out and repainted. Transmission was completely rebuilt in September. Tires are like new condition. 4WD works fine. The horn, siren, strobe, and backup light all work. Body and floor pans are very solid. The speedometer does not work, but there is a new speedometer gear in tranny and new speedometer cable. Converted to a 12V system. Items included but not pictured are two ammo boxes, fire extinguisher, spotlight, extra carb, emergency brake handle, tow bar, brake cable, paint. This jeep definitely turns heads.”
