Going Postal

[68Jeepster]

Funny thing... I use to be filled with useless little known facts. Oh, here is one.... on old mail Jeeps T.P.25 or T.P.36 was printed on each fender above the tire. Until tire pressures standardized with load bearing newer models, the T.P. was dropped. Yep T.P. was Tire Pressure with the number representing pressure to fill. Going from 25 to 36 they made sure service got it right. Some Jeeps had two different pressures. Rear at 32, front at 25.

I remember that. My first paying job was at an Exxon service station, back in the days when you could get basic service work done at your local gas station...There was a postal facility just up the road from us and every time it snowed they came to us to put chains on. Nothing like road salt infused snow dripping down on you and then going out to top off ol' Mrs' Humperdink's Caddy. Good times, but I was grateful for that job. My boss gave instilled a strong work ethic in that young punk. "Don't let me catch you sitting around, or I'll find a job for you to do and you probably won't like it...".

Yep. The "tuxedo" look with a white Jeep is always a good choice.

I had plans for a white Jeep...

You are both covered for the platform Jeep to build-

remember how to drive a column shift ?

Looks like Henry Ford pulled a fast one with out sourcing of old stock to Willy's. Ha!

More with the fugly original grille, will the CJ grille not fit for some reason ?

 

[YBABRAT]

A little hammer work should make it fit.

 

[Wbino]

All two doors should slide open.
(hint to corporate)

Just don’t make it like this.

What part of Florida was that? Miami, right?

Not a two door but a little different look on the wife’s jeep

Yep... I figure once I do a thick red and blue pinstripe from nose to tail, it'll add some flair.

Motobilt makes a drop-down tailgate for you: https://motobilt.com/products/drop-down-tailgate-for-jeep-jl-jlu

Also, go ahead and google David Tracy's Postal Jeep - if he could make that work your JL will be an absolute piece of cake in comparison

Keep us posted, looking forward to seeing how the project goes!

Could be Houston too.
