just dug the Jerbil the Mahindra SWB Jeep out of winter hibernation
new battery and tyres pressures and all is in order
But is it?

Not likely to pass another of those pesky MOTs that you have over in UK Jerbil seems destined to continue providing good service off road on the farm

But what are the options?

A rebody with a Jago GF body or Eagle equivalent?

Hand it over to a university to replace the body as part of their grade learnings?
Give it away for buttons?
Split? new Bestop hood tidy alloys and VG tyres
As the mechanicals are fine- continue to drive in fields etc until it no longer works?

It is clearly not worth my spending lots of money rebodying or sorting the rust.............
what should I do???

As usual Jerbil the Jeep has been more than useful with logs trees and assorted rubbish from shed clear outs (in my 6x4) trailer

we even managed a spot of furniture moving!
see:

I reckon it will continue on doing great works on the farm

does anyone want to rebody it for say 2 weeks free highland holiday next year with fishing thrown in (worth c £1800)?? If I supply a new body?

see www.strathnoon.co.uk

What body

Topcat999 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 28, 2013, 10:26:10 AM »

Jago Geep would be my first choice

Bubba · « **Reply #11 on:** July 28, 2013, 11:24:14 AM »

O dear

How about repro body from jeeparts

wildwood · « **Reply #12 on:** July 28, 2013, 11:26:00 AM »

Turn it into a "low hood" with a new body

Bubba · « **Reply #13 on:** July 28, 2013, 11:35:14 AM »

No body and a park bench would be better than a jago body

just checked out Jeeparts
look just the thing!
thankyou £1200 buys a new tub- but then I have to find someone capable of fitting to the Jerbil!

(I wish they made parts for CJs though)

Sounds like an opportunity for a Bubba clan holiday?

Bubba · « **Reply #19 on:** July 30, 2013, 08:16:12 PM »

Naa doubt I could aford the fuel there and back seriously and any hoo mrs bubba would hate a rural location

Inverness is a Capital city and only 20 miles 1/2 an hour away!
Capital of the Highlands...............

Dear Bubba

I thought you were following the story:

http://www.birtydastards.com/frm/index.php?topic=27919.25

the lovely guy who sold me Hal for c£1200 wanted Jerbil for hood and spares and gave me £450 fpr same- hence all the palaver last year- broken ribs snow and snow socks etc etc

mind you- the offer of Strathnoon cottage for you and mrs Bubba is still there! come and check out our Jeeps!
