Well I did some trading of some old audio stuff and got me a new treasure hunting ride ;D. Its a 1946 willys jeep with a 4 cyl pinto motor put in it. Since the jeep is 62 years old (no seat belts) I am going to keep it to in town driving only. I have always been a jeep fan (this is my 14th) and I figured what better ride to go local treasure hunting in this summer. Its going to be warm on sunday so I am going to clean it up and paint it then(od green of course).

Hey Brett, congrats on the ETRAC! I got one a few months ago. It took me a month or so to get used to it but once I did I wouldn't want to use anything else! One suggestion would be to get an X-1 inline probe for it. I got one and it is just awesome! You can use the probe in pinpoint and everything! God luck with it!

Cool ride, and could come in handy if we get the ice they are calling for. Though it could be a cold ride.
And those look like some old homes in the background. Maybe Taylor/Grove area? There are some oldies in B/N worth checking out!

Happy Holidays

My apologies to the Jeep guys, but I think I like that picture frame much more than the Jeep itself! "It's pretty sweeeet" - Cartman
