I love this thing mark! Great job with everything. Glad I finally got to read through your build thread after wheeling with you and seeing it in person this past August.

As noted in Trip Reports, the Willys made a trip to Utah in November and wheeled some iconic trails. It performed nearly flawlessly ... except for some driver error  ;D

The roll tweaked the radiator and A-pillar hoop. Some minor trail repairs in the form of upper radiator mount relocation kept it wheelin' for the remainder of the trip.

So, after a good season of working bugs out, it's time to do some repairs as well as finish work and improvements. Here's the beginning of the list:

trans tunnel
trans shifter mod
shock oil
front "suck down"
fuel cell with internal pump
fluid containment
dash
passenger "OH S**T" bar
LS6 intake
hood
tires

Mark,  I assume it will be a homemade vehicle then?  That the route you went.

A guy at work went that route for his Locost 7.  Said they were sticklers about bumpers and bumper heights at the inspection.

Phone contact made with Albany to clarify engine choice. Indicated that should be the last thing they require except a signed form that Field Investigations exam will complete...
