bigwalton 10-02-2002, 07:22 AM For anyone interested, I finally got around to getting a website up for the Alaskan Postal CJ-8 that I drove back to NC from Anchorage this summer. It's at http://home.earthlink.net/~bigwalton/postal.html It's not really POR hardcore... yet :D but I thought some of you might like to check it out anyhow. Mo 10-02-2002, 12:35 PM congrats on completing your trip. Any 'exciting' events on the trip home? bigwalton 10-02-2002, 01:06 PM Originally posted by Mo congrats on completing your trip. Any 'exciting' events on the trip home? Heh, obviously you didn't read the Rockcrawler reports... :) I had a nasty exhaust manifold leak that I had to stop in Helena MT to fix with the aid of some great guys there and the transmission crossmember dropped on one side, all three bolts came loose as I was doing 65 down I-95. Overall though, I got seriously lucky and the Jeep ran well, nothing "major" which was my worst fear. The pucker factor on that trip was a little too high. My ass is only now recovering from it :D Alaska ZJ 10-03-2002, 02:15 PM I had looked at that CJ severel times (along with the others he had/has) and I am totally amazed you made it to WASILLA!!!! Good show and I still don't know why you just didn't buy the body and stuff from a aftermarket manufacturer.....

If you mean buy the hard top and what not to make one that looks like a postal, the answer is quite simple... I wanted the real deal and I'm not a pussy. You have any idea how cool it is to me everytime I look at my Jeep and think about what it took to get it into my garage? That shit is once in a lifetime baby, you don't pass on that! | |
