Found this at the Petersen’s Auto museum in LA.

Anyone have a guess what it is?

Dammit, everytime I see your Sig I'm reminded how badly I would like an FC. I look around occasionally, but always fail to pursue. I've never seen one in person. At six foot three, do you think I would fit? I can't fit in a YJ and properly drive it. I'd also really like a modded DJ, but doubt I would fit.

Depends if you’re fat or not. Height isn’t an issue. It’s the width [emoji23][emoji23]. The seats are narrow. I removed the arm rest on the door. It pushes right into my gut. [emoji849]

Honestly, I was not impressed for a museum in LA.

They did have this rare CJ5 from the Omix collection

Jetset Blue Metallic - the exact same color that we painted Jane :yup:

As far as the museum goes, it doesn't have a ton of vehicles or at least for a major city. The one up in Reno is way more impressive.

You've come a long way, Baby!

Saw this old Willys in my neighborhood and couldn't resist taking this shot with my new JLUR:

Then looking back in my photo library, I found this one with my 2011 JKR:

Picked this up today. I was itching for a new Jeep and don’t want a JL. Waiting for the JT. (Well I do really want a JL. It don’t need a JL and a JT)

Damn, that thing is so cool! Congratulations on saving some old iron. The only thing that sucks is that you're making me want to buy something but I've gotta hold out for the JT. :rolleyes2:

You know, I'm still trying to figure out why you're not getting rid of your JK and getting a JL to replace it. Or, were you planning on getting rid of it for a JT?
