|  Hello Everyone, I am back with a few more pictures of my Jeep Rattler. Last week I had a couple of issues pertaining to the engine power. The jeep was choking when shifted to 2nd and also on the 3rd gear. The jeep is still under scrutiny (sort of a running-in period) after the restoration so, I took it to the mechanic. The issue was solved within 15 minutes and out came a handful of dirt clogged in the Banjo under the fuel tank and also from the baby fuel filter sitting on the pump. Today I replaced the engine oil, oil and diesel filters and the jeep is now performing optimally. Over to pictures! |

| Senior - BHPian  | Canvas Hi Rattler, You JEEP looks purposeful. Nice canvas. I need some information about the canvas used. Is it the waxed type/ sail cloth? What is the cost per meter and it thickness. Regards, Arka |

Its my privilege communicating with you. Thank you so much for your feedback. The Tarpaulin that I've used is indeed the waxed type and, it came in 12' x 15' measurement. This is an inexpensive tarpaulin normally used to cover the goods on a truck and is very heavy! I have no idea about the thickness of the material though  I purchased the whole piece for 2,400 INR.Warm Regards, Sudhir. | |

| This is what I call offroader. your jeep commands respect. Color choice ideal for jungle roads. One clarification, how do you manage to drive on a rainy day, I don’t see any covering to protect from rain. (driver side & passenger side) |

Thank you so much for your comments. I have the side flaps removed and kept safely. Come rainy season and I will have them attached to the jeep. BTW, I am extremely sorry for replying so late. Warm regards, Sudhir. | |
