Agreed on the pickup cab on the 109. Are those WoodenBoat calendar images on the garage door?

Yup, my dad has had those calendars for as long as i can remember. I dont think he has thrown a single one away. A few sundays a year we go wild with the staple gun.

I want a rover calendar....

Today was the first day I drove the 109 on a road in almost 5 years. Put 45 miles on it today, mostly dirt and the island is only 14x6
the weather is suposed to be very nice with record breaking highs tomorrow, may have to ditch the top

WOW Thanks a lot for taking the time to make such a great thread! I will be using a lot of the pictures here as a reference for my truck.

see you have that soft top on it, good to see it getting used

[masonater]

Thanks to all. It really is a great feeling after all the hard work and dollars spent to finally drive it. My jeep is already tucked away in the bushes. Time to enjoy my new daily driver! Its almost 50 degrees already so today i may have to test out the 4x4 on some sand
my PS headlight burnt out so ill fix that at some point today so i can get her inspected. I never really did figure out how to replace a headlight on the military tucks...seems to be a lot going on in those assemblies.

Yes, and thank you once again! My old lady neighbor does sail and canvas repair. Im going to see if she can beef up the stitching and replace the plastic windows. Also bringing her my old windowless beat up canvas to build some sort of bikini top.

Very nice and congratulations on being able to drive it after all of that work!
