Need something with a winch. They are sitting in a wooded area in  front of this guys house and slightly down hill from the gravel drive.  With it rain too it would not be fun trying to push them up a trailer LOL

Was going to go for a morning walk but the property was surrounded by elk. So I wandered to the back yard and saw this one climbing the hill behind my Jeep.

I thought they were checking out the jeep as a possible new mode of transportation. They see Dennis smiling when he drives it and they figure that's the way to go.

Are those holes across the top of the windshield frame for extra ventilation?  LOL

 Although they look like holes in that picture, a bunch of them are rivets holding a soft top channel across the windshield.
 The rest are screw holes for the aluminum top I keep on it now.

Now that you mention it, now I can see the difference.  The holes can be seen to be different from the rivets.  Smile

With the sun shining and blue skies yesterday I took the top and doors off to let the interior dry out. I even folded the windshield down! I really wanted to go to the beach but I resisted the urge too LOL

 I also took some scrap wood and made pieces that will make it easier to remove/replace the top.  It is only made of aluminum but very awkward for one person to remove.

 Also covered the rear seat in the fabric I used to make the fronts so now all three seats match in color.

Plates expire soon and I'm not going to renew them. Everything needs rebuilt before I drive it again, I've stalled on this for too long. So here it will sit for the winter Cry

 When I get home today I will place some items between the tarp and top.
