This is where it all began. I bought this beauty in the summer of 2009 for a cool 3200 bucks. I really like the Dauntless 225 V6 and the original T-18 4 speed tranny. 1966 is a good year...no emissions. My original plan was to avoid spending too much time working on this Jeep. I have been down the rebuild/modify/update path before and it robs you the pleasure of enjoying the Jeep for what it is used for...wheelin! But.......after a year and a half of wheelin, I realized that the old girl needed attention. Not just oil and grease, but body mounts. The body mounts where all shot and the infrastructure on the body itself was non-existent. Basically, the body was now rubbing on the frame. I knew I needed to pull the tub to rebuild the mounting locations and that lead to what is now a complete rebuild. Ooh boy.
I'm starting this blog to show my rebuild. Maybe someone can find this stuff useful, or maybe fill a few minutes of their day reading this junk....Enjoy

  1. How funny!! I got mine for $3k and thought it would need minimal work. So much for that theory. Bob has redone all the brake lines, rebuilt the e-brake and is now talking about body mounts. Fun times!
