Sorry guys for over-posting. Glad to be here.
Any referrals for a Southern California mechanic? I need everything from door locks to engine work (and everything in between).
This just rolled off the truck from Detroit last night (for my birthday).

Welcome.
So where in SOCAL??
Kinda a big place that SOCAL thing ya know?
As Tim mentioned, you really need to be ready to get some dirt under your finger nails owning one of these old Jeeps.
Most mechanics unfortunately know nothing about Full Size Jeeps, not to mention a carburator scares the livin life outta them.
There a lot of good folks around here that will help with info, guidance, and maybe even parts.

San Diego specifically, but I am not scared to drive to LA, riverside, etc. SoCal is a big place, but I'm willing to drive to find the right shop.
