It was a combo of what you were thinking, but also that I’m at the point where I want to see them all back on the road, so between it not having much in the way of usable parts to bring her back, it wasn’t worth the price for me for as a parts rig either. I’m getting old and picky. If I’m needing parts, I usually pony up the dough for the parts.twisted frame wrote:Just curious, why'd you pass on it? I enjoy seeing which FSJs you pick up. I'm thinking it must not have had what you needed for a project or didn't fit the bill for something you'd want to put on the road again. Either way, it's fun seeing all the available stock in your area, because that just isn't the case here!
Not to hijack but your brake light note got me thinking about my old 77 Cherokee. I was on my way home on an interstate, late at night years ago, and passed a state trooper clocking people. He didn't pull out and I wasn't speeding, but after about a half mile, I noticed him pull out. He caught up to me and only put on his lights after a minute or so of being right behind me. When he pulled me over, he said the reason was because my brake lights were flashing intermittently and he thought I might have been trying to signal him as I went by, because perhaps there was something bad going on in my car, like I was trying to get his attention. Luckily, there was no problem and I just had bad brake light wiring! I thought that was very perceptive of him to pull me over like that and I thanked him. Fixed the brake lights the next day!

I've enjoyed scrolling through your J3000 posts, all 384 of them!
May I ask for some advice on two items of interest to me?
1. Stock steel wheels color code?
- I am also in the process of swapping out chrome aftermarkets for stock 15" steel. I have the 5 wheels, plan to clean them up and get them powder coated. The color isn't exactly white right? More towards creme. Any advice?
2. Source for new reproduction Stock-style chrome rear bumpers?
- I am in the process of removing the large/heavy farm style rear bumper to replace with stock-style 2-of-the-3-piece bumper (may not want the center piece). Have you come across a source for these replacements?
Thanks for considering my questions.
Cheers,
Dave

Whoa- very cool!scaryhd wrote:I reached out to a seller (Erik) on BaT (1957 Willys FC-150) and he responded with the wheel paint chip code (9010) and was kind enough to offer to send the chip to me (win!).
For those interested here's the BaT link: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1957-willys-fc-150/ . The new owner is somewhere near me in the Bay Area (CA). Maybe the new owner will join the Forum.
Thanks! This has been a dream for awhile- 2 jobs for 20 years, then added another job about 6 years ago. So it’s a plan on motion for awhile.Stuka wrote:Boy do I wish I had some land like that.
I would advise air bags over air shocks. Air bags only impact the ride when aired up. Air shocks will always impact the ride.
Yeah, for sure. I used the ol’ Pbucket when I was more active on the IFSJA site… like most everyone else, I let my account lapse.Super Dave wrote:Cool truck. Is there a way I can see the pictures without the photobucket junk everywhere?
