I can’t find the like button for your post... I too just climb into my jeep, sit, smile and pass the time with my best friend. My family thinks I am an idiot. Read more

You’re a madman, David! I’m glad the persistence paid off, though. Thanks for bringing us along! Read more

Fabulous story, David! I just laugh off and on all through your articles. It’s fun to see you bring life to junk and seem to get so much joy out of doing so.

David, this article reminded me of the crazy story Don Sherman wrote for Car and Driver in the 80's after they took 4 “sport sedans” into Mexico and hit a cow among numerous adventures. Your adventures are epic as theirs were. Read more

I have to say that this article made my day. I love the fact that you took on the challenge, didn’t let it beat you and you got that Jeep actually running. I know that almost everyone who has every turned a wrench would have walked away when they saw those valves.

Wouldn’t you know. Looks like rust is stronger than steel! Read more

Long time reader, first time responder. Really impressed that you got that heap running. You’re making the kind of repairs I imagine a post-apocalyptic mechanic would make. Read more
