Very aptly said Shibu and thats one hell of a mighty regiment you have

Thanks Spike for your compliments. Read my signature and you will know what Jeeps are for me.

Shibu

SPIKE ARRESTOR · 28th February 2010, 19:16

Shibu, I can see that, are you working on some other restoration at present?

Spike

JeepCaptain · 28th February 2010, 19:30

Yes Spike, doing two projects currently, one restoration and one performance mod.

I am restoring my CJ3B, there is a thread about that.

And secondly converting a 1.8 diesel Isuzu Gypsy to an extreme offroader with lift kit, diff locks and crawl gears as phase 1 and phase 2 will be External Rollcage, Snorkel, SPOA, Mud tyres, Winch and the list is endless.

Recently we did a trip to Leh and the Gypsy was used as a support vehicle.

The trip was from Bangalore - Leh- Bangalore done by Bangalore Bolero Club.

You can expect a detailed travelogue of that trip soon.

Some of the pics taken in that trip.

VLOCT, Thanks mate. For me Jeeps and Gypsies are like my left hand and right hand. I can never say one is better than the other.

IMO it looks like the gypsys windshield glass.

Sudarshan, Absolutely correct.That how its done for all Really Gypsy's.So that in case if the windshield brakes during a rally, you can use the rear glass and continue.
