I've been busy... new paint, new leather seats, 4 point harnesses. Just got back from Glamis.

I only took it out one time and that was to the Anza Borrego Desert for a Dodge rally. Peterson's off road magazine was there and has a photo or two of it in the magazine. It was about 15 years or so ago.

Heater seems to work fine... I'm just having a hard time trying to roll the windows up. BTW back in the day, They used to make us take the tops off of the jeeps when doing training down range. Problem was it was winter in Colorado. I solved that issue by placing a 1" hose into the heater vent...
