Perhaps it's the right time to take words from Mr. T, "I PITTY THE FOOL" When it came to his 83 GMC Van.
Well that's the way I feel about my girls, born in a Mopar Family I might go a little overboard with my attention to detail
I had mentioned before that I'm addicted, and I can't find myself any help when it comes to my plans for Betsy.
Oh please don't knock the name, I was in southern AZ when I stumbled on a girl named Betsy and it just felt right for my CJ.
Now I have to say for those who don't have their own garage with a Ben Pack Lift and all the works it gets frustrating at times when people don't listen.
If i bring her in for work, give a list of what I want done then get it wrapped up and let's move onto the next mod. Instead my girl gets neglected at the shop from time to time. A prefect example, dropped her off on Thursday for a new Yellowtop, oil change and new Battery terminals with the cut off feature that I had picked up. They didn't put them on, instead they gave me the old ones, the same came when I picked up a new radiator with transmission cooler, they hooked it up, but left the old external trans cooler still hooked up. Results... blew a fitting and the transmission fluid flew right out on the highway.
Yet for some reason I still keep the band together.
One more year left on the Resto, and I just hope I don't loose my mind. With the axle housings leaking I'm going with new Dana 44s front and rear. Toss in some more Mods, a smittybilt scout trailer painted to match and if all goes well our next tour will start at Sema next year.
But I'm always willing to switch bands for a select choice in northern NV.
Added pics... found a new carnuba spray shine and cleaner, all ready for Good Guys Car Show tomorrow.
