I knew a jeep was coming, but never expected a CJ3B with a Petrol Heart!
Congratulations Jaggu.

Where do You park her btw?

Edit: The repainted colour looks way better than the original one and do I see a dual tone in the 5th pic?

Jaggu,

You have been lecturing me to get a Brand New Gypsy and you go out and get a CJ3B?? I guess, you were not after Bullet Proof reliability huh? , so, did you pick the red pill or the blue pill? Welcome to the real world!!

[DHABHAR.BEHRAM]

Dear Jaggu - I am envious of you now. You have acquired my favourite vehicle, the CJ3B. Best of luck. There is a lot of information floating on it already and other BHPians will of course help. If you need anything, you can call me anytime.

Best regards,

Behram Dhabhar

PS - "something" happens to me when I see a CJ3B. The same "thing" does not happen when I see a Merc.

Hello Sirji,

I was under the impression, that you don't feel that "something" anymore.

Similarly, SOMETHINGS happen to us we see a NGCS MM550XD. The same thing does not happen when we see the THAR.

Regards,

Arka

Congrats Jaggu, I think it was inevitable not buying a 4X4 with all these offroaders in bangalore. Enjoy your ride and drive safe.

Do tell us what all things you have done.

Btw may be its me, but I feel the Olive Green looks and as I learnt recently n a Jungle Trail with DKG, the colour blends very easily with the vegetation. Could you elaborate a bit on the RTO paint story?

You can say that again, all my purchases are from the heart, head somehow goes into hibernation the moment i walk towards a vehicle.

RTO (in BLR) doesn't allow olive green on civilian jeeps, so when we approached for FC and name transfer they said a big NO. Had to get the color changed and then everything was aok.

Looks cool, happy jeeping.

Thanks Santhosh. Suresh and i have some other connections, which i came to know after talking to him.

In hindsight, must say that you have been lucky to get such a nice jeep as such examples are getting hard to come buy.

Happy jeeping..!!!

PS: One of the rarer situations where the restoration process starts with the paint job and not the mechanicals :-)

You know whom to kick for this purchase, right?

The Jeep is in a very very neat and decent shape and looks awesome. The color has killer looks. Suresh is really helpful, he did help with my doubts during my restoration too.

Congrats again and happy Jeeping

That was my advice to you, coz i have done a whole lot of thinking, debates, calculations and finally the purchase. Why let it go wasted and if i knew about your ideas, i could have taken care of your baby. But unfortunately deal was done by that time.

Not really. But then cool evening by the lake, Khan and me stretched out on some rocks and a good conversation = This!

[Archit_ag]

Hey JAggu Congrats. Great buy i must say and I'm getting so jealous!!!

[Jaggu]

Ok guys this is the guy ^ who sold me the jeep! Thanks man, i will bring her over once i get her sorted, then you can curse yourself again for letting it go!

[ex670c]

Hi Jaggu,

Some links which you will enjoy -

Magazine Articles on The CJ3B Page

Regards,

Arka

PS - The Corcoran-Brown/WW2 Black Out Lights were not fitted on the Indian Military CJ3B, they had the NATO BO Lights on the Radiator Grille.

PPS - Get the Chaff/Brush Guard.

[DKG]

Great to see more pictures of the beauty. And the new colour does looks so much better. Car looks so much sharper. Congrats Jaggu, you bought the right car!!

Jaggu,

No sweat.. that's what this forum is all about - really appreciate your inputs. Like the old saying, the journey is more enjoyable than reaching the destination. I enjoyed every bit of doing up my Jeep and got it exactly the way I wanted it (well, almost!). I liked that journey so much, I am itching to get started with the next one.

Good luck and happy journey!

[beejay]

Sweet ride. Looks pretty neat. Seeing your posts in many a threads here somehow made me think you would buy a CJ3B. And it happened. Congratulations.

[Dippy]

Congratulations Jaggu. You finally got what you wanted after all that searching and a Hurricane at that. I like the new colour too. What are the upgrades you are planning? Dwarf is sure to rock the upcoming OTR's.

Drive safe and have fun Jeeper Creeper
