Sarah and Flint, the twins, really like Dice!..... with 4 doors and no back seat....... much easier to jump into than Ruff the Bronco!
They're both looking forward to camping....... or at least a Flying Dutchman Run to In-N-Out Burger!
Went to install the front driveshaft in Dice...... the original had been taken out to get rebuilt....... the CV Joint was pretty tore up.
Had a recently rebuilt one in my J-10 project....... pulled it out of Ben....... tried to put it in Dice....... too short....... won't even bolt up...
Dice got new shoes today..... BFG All Terrain KO2s..... 31/10.50/15s..... real 4X4 tires as opposed to the Kenda street tires he had!

The suspension is rock hard...... both springs and shocks..... definitely need to swap out the springs soon....... but a...
First modification to Dice...... STEEKERS!.....
My brother had some decals made up..... copies of the decals from the Jeep club our family belonged to in the 60s and 70s..... the Jeep-A-Bouts of LaVerne CA.....
I didn't think much about it at the time...... but it impresses the Hell out of...
Personally, I don't like to have anything outside the truck...... mostly to keep from loading too much junk!
I also like to keep everything inside below the beltline..... more or less......
