Yup! They truly were the Greatest Generation. Maybe one day we'll get back to what we should be. [emoji106]

Now that's awesome and yeah, it very well could be Cadillac Hill. An old timer that had been wheeling the Rubicon since the beginning was telling me that the trail there has eroded about 11 ft. since the first Jeeps drove over it. That being said, the pic could be from around the Wentworth Springs area as well.

Such an awesome pic.
I'm thinking crazy thoughts tonight, been in touch with a guy who says he has three FC170s for sale and sent me pics of two. He says they run and I'm seriously thinking about going to look at them for my possible first restoration project. Huge learning curve if I decide to do this, I've never worked on anything bigger than a snowblower. What do you all think? Any advice if I do go look???

I know! It actually looks like it's been kept well. Air in the tires, clean glass and headlights, makes you think someone's been looking after it. Seems like it's got a story, I'd probably keep it close to as-is.

Definitely go for it if you can you will regret it if you don't and learning about them by making mistakes is part of the fun!!

Going back through the awesome history here, this small feature caught my eye.
The keychain on this GPW would seem innocuous, and frankly out of place...
Except it is the same color scheme as the Vietnam ribbon award.
Nice touch.

Alright experts, I'm actually making the trip out tomorrow to take a look at the FCs this guy has in his inventory. Any advice on what to look for on the inspection? I'm comfortable looking at fluids, etc for correct color and consistency. I can look at the frame for integrity and get a feel for it if we get it out on a test drive. Any other tips? Appreciate any and all insight from those that have been there!

Check the cab corners, and drip edge on the roof for rot, also the front grill at the bottom where it connects to the body. The frames crack at the shock mounts. There's actually a fix for it in my original owners manual.
None of this would stop me from buying it, there's ways to fix it all. Hell Wallacks 4wd now makes beds!!
Buy that some bitch!!!
