    Wow. What an incredible find… looks outstanding: I love the jump seats in the back. Even with right hand drive, this shouldn’t last long.

    I’m really surprised this is still available. Price seems reasonable. Someone needs to get/give this one for Christmas 🙂

    I think in california you can title a vehicle as non op and you don’t have to get plates or pay taxes on it the same way. Cali may be one of those states that taxes your vehicle every year.

    The non-op (officially called a PNO) status is a registration status and not a title status. It simply means the owner has filed a claim with the state that the vehicle will not be driven during the year (along with a few other restrictions). Once filed, the owner does not owe anything on the registration until the owner wishes to re-registe

    Customarily with a ring, but human-gearbox marriages have been frowned upon in the past. 🙂

    I believe the gear shifter on the floor engages/disengages hi/lo & 2w/4w. It looks like the tranny is shifted on the column.

    It may have been frowned upon in the past, but we here in San Francisco believe that it is time to recognize the union between a man and his Jeep.

    Yes, but there’s already a union between a man and his jeep called a title. That document binds the two parties together until death or taxes (or a trade-in/sale — and I’ve traded-in a couple wives) tears them apart! I know that such a domestic agreement might not satisfy some San Franciscans, but why must a man and his jeep tread upon the sanctity of a government-sanctioned marriage??
