You are not alone. I spend 90% of my time in the far side of the world--where I an VEX are not from this lifeform matrix. I understand. I am in Las Cruces NM, now, instead of home in my place and home in Majahual, Quintana Roo, Yucatan, on the beach in the Yucatan. I am homesick--for my place...

Welcome and great looking Jeep. Wonderful. Robert

Hi Sarah, I'm Robert and I am a Jeep alcoholic as well--46 years and counting. Welcome dear, to this wonderful site and the world of Jeeps. Robert

I have stickers but no "jeep.com" ones. Mine are for the job and where I go outside the US....oh well.....I should get some of these for the site here. Robert

Well, don't know your name but welcome here to the site and the world of Jeeps. Before I answer your good questions, a few details. I wanted a Jeep since a child and seeing my dad all cool in his WW2 Jeep MB in the pacific in his photo albums that I still look at. I had my first one at age 11 as...

Hi Gabe, Robert here and welcome to the site. I am a long time Jeeper and NASA guy and love your Jeep peeled open like that. Killer cool. This is a great site and great folks here and many have your mark of Jeep and will be fun to interface with here. Glad you are here so post more photos...

I wanted to chime in here as I have on other thread topics so related. I have a fair amount of experience on this topic after 45 plus years monkeying around with 12 volt systems in my myriad of Jeeps to date. With that said, due to the nature and build sequence of Optima batteries, no matter...

And in that lower photo of the red Jeep, look at those corn-ball "Selectro" hubs! I remember those and hated them and never had them. Those that did were always tearing off the little handles that would come out and fall open from the hub center and then render the Jeep either in 4WD High or...

All true. Great report and invokes so many memories for me. I was mistaken on the type though as it is a SEARS cab as the Meyers was much cooler looking and more shaped to the Jeep body. The Meyers "Full" Cab offering. Its been so long and so many years I now remember the SEARS cab was not...

That is a pre-1965 Meyers Full Metal Cab (Meyer Cabs were available from 1953 to 1975 for al models of Jeep CJs), and they are great and when insulated they are a real treat though a little heavy. I had and ran two of these in Jeep #2 and Jeep #13 and they were excellent. I sold my 2nd one in...

The Space Shuttle Orbiter stack on the pad, at T-0, comes up to full power with the liquids all ready burning for 6 sec, and when the solids light, to full thrust in 1.5 seconds. All 76 million HP of it. For 2.1 sec, the whole vehicle sits in the air once the 16 6" hold down bolts blow, and sits...

I saw those by numbers when in India. Manufactured there under lic. They were very intrigued with VEX and its difference as a CJ-7. They were cool though and set up mostly utility. Robert

Wow, what a beautiful rig. Love it. There is such difference in the marks now. I am learning them, even after 46 years of Jeeps. I stopped at my 1983 CJ-7, VEX, about 20 years ago now. But it is used outside the US and in many different roles, environments and you may wish to look at mine as a...

Depending on what you end up pulling beyond just you, I'd go heavy and stay away from offroad and automotive stuff. What make and size is your winch by the way? Those blocks on VEX are from Western Iron & Steel through this outfit: Snatch Block & Wire Rope Pulley - Snatch & Rigging Blocks and...

I fully agree. I should be severely punished for that disturbing outburst. My apologies deeply. I need a very hard and generous spankin'. Let's Jeep then... Robert

Not sure on trail drag. Been running rear winches on various Jeeps now for some 40 years. Works fine and if the support/frame get up is heavy enough, tough enough, no problem. I run a Premier on VEX there, and its fabulous. Don't forget the industrial 200 amp alternator. This one is by John...

Ok, I'll chime in here in my normal, rude, obnoxious, juvenile fashion: "Here I sit, cheeks a flexin', givin' birth to another Texan." I deeply apologize. Ok, I'm in Las Cruces, NM, in the southeast corner, so how many Jeepers in El Paso here who want to Jeep. Ask before and trying to get a...

Hello lad and love the photos-wonderful. Teaching the wilderness a lesson - Good! :D Glad you are here and your Jeep is just killer bad looking. Love it. Robert

Hi dear and welcome. This is a really cool site--probably the best out there overall. And there is tons of great Jeep folks here. With your new Jeep there are many here who have these mark and know about the ins and outs that may be helpful for you in the questions you may have upcoming as your...
