Nice photo of the Ingrums on the left and the Ogles to the right.

On Monday, the crew began their morning in Gros Morne National Park. This was their last day in Newfoundland. Monday’s goal was to reach the shorter ferry (takes 6-8 hours), spend the night on it, then head, my guess is, toward Prince Edward Island early on Tuesday morning.

Here’s another look at Jim and Kevin’s camp spot:

Kevin really enjoyed the first. He was the fire tender. If he only had a Wilson soccer ball (it turns out you can buy these??), all would be complete.

Based on the reports I’ve heard, the expanded Toledo JeepFest was a big hit this year. Kudos to Jerry Huber and the rest of the crew for making it a great time! Here’s a report on the event in the Toledo Blade: https://www.toledoblade.com/news/2019/08/10/Jeep-enthusiasts/stories/20190810112

This has a half cab Cab Enclosure. My assumption is that this was custom cut down into a half cab. I suspect the Cab’s part number can definitively document whether the cab is originally a full cab or not.

Chris has an M-38A1 radiator and a Spicer rear PTO (still needs to be removed, so not pics just yet) for sale. Make offer. Contact Christ at cyoke455 @ gmail.com (remove spaces from around the @).

“I have an original radiator for sale out of my M38A1. There is a pinhole leak in the radiator core. Mine is too far from original condition for OEM parts to matter, so I put an aftermarket in it. Thought someone might need it for a restore.

I also have a complete and fully functional Spicer PTO I am removing from it that I want to sell. No pics yet as I have to remove it still.”
