Allow me to introduce "Gramps," a 1946 Willys CJ 2A, I bought him from Robert and Heather a few months ago, and finally after jumping through all of MVD's hoops, to take an untitled Jeep back into a titled one. A real pain in the arse, but know with a title in hand, LET THE TEARDOWN BEGIN!!! Currently Gramps is mostly stock, 134 CID flat head 4-banger producing a whopping 60 horsepower, (factory numbers), T-90 tranny, Spicer 18 T-case w/ 2.43 low range, Dana 27 front w/ Sears hubs, Dana 41 rear all open with 5.38 gears. He has been half way converted to 12 volts and has some quality Bubba engineering. It'll take some time, but he will be back on the road and trail again. Upgrades will include: 32x9.50 Swampers, 2.5 inch lift, full 12 volt conversion, a real roll cage with seats and seatbelts attached to cage, dual gas tanks, LED flush mount tail lights, digital gauges, front disc brakes, and 11 inch drums and a locker in the rear, and a Saturn overdrive. And probably some other stuff I'm forgetting right now. Oh, Robert I found the ACM numbers, they are right where they are suppose to be.

Looks like a fun project to keep you entertained and out of trouble for a bit. Seats are always a good thing.
