1971 Jeepster Commando Rebuild - Build Overland

[Go Commando]

This will be a long process but the plan right now is to improve engine (400,000+ miles), drivetrain and eliminating some bad rust issues that these Commandos ultimately come with.

“In Rust We Trust” is a stress I want to eliminate. Fear of falling through the floor boards will be eliminated.

Step one is getting the engine rebuilt.

Not to bad so far. No parts falling out. Now to get it picked and the rest of it disassembled.
