I figured it would be in the Smithsonian by now.

Here's fun fact; With "Ice cream fridge", weight 8600 pounds, without 5100 pounds. :rolf:

It is, but it was used an an air tank for the lockers and airing up tires.

I remember seeing this jeep but was there purple two seat buggy after it? It had a diamond plate tool box in the rear that was the wedge shape just like the rear of the buggy. I was following someone through grey rock canyon long time ago they went the harder line to the left around the big rock and flopped over, was that you?

So what is the deal with it? was it one of those ahead of its time type rigs or just a rig that was seen a lot back then and now its just turned up somewhere crazy?

Well, what happened was .......

Lots of learning. Way too many beers. Flexing the new girl out by climbing the tree. Throttle cable a little short on the build and the sheeth of the cable came out of the holder and pinned the throttle. Turned over and I fell down to the paggenger door as I was a dumbass without a seatbelt. Motor about 5 grand pawing its way to Lay Lake as someone jumped on the side and killed the engine. Roll cage got its first dent by hitting the trailer. Lots of wrong going on, looking back, a very lucky day. That day taught me to always wear my seatbelt.

We need a "The Day A Was A Dumbass" thread!!!!!

"that buggy" being his jeep? Pretty sure he took it apart for the 38. We briefly discussed putting my junker cab truck drivetrain back in it and make it a driver to try to make it marketable. Somebody bought the mostly stripped chassis and put it back together I believe.

So the giant purple jeep turned into a purple two seat buggy?
