An update on (and off) road

Image
The Jeep has been all up and running for a wee while now and apart from a few teething issues, it's been great. On our first shake down run we had a few carb issues (running a Holley 1904) and she'd putt out as soon as she looked at a hill. More than a little frustrating! While it's a lot better than it was, I will revisit this later on and wouldn't mind having a ply with an SU style carb. The last time it would look perfect. Airing down for the first off road excursion. First wee river crossing. Can you find all 3 flat fenders in this pic? After the first trial run, I took my rather apprehensive partner out for her first off road excursion in the Jeep. It was our clubs annual champs - based on national trials rules here in NZ, we all run the same obstacles with the objective of getting to the end of the hazard without stopping or driving outside the course. You can see by the pics that she enjoyed it a lot more than she expected!
