Hi folks,

My name is John. I live in Faridabad, Haryana.

As far as I remember, my fascination for Jeep started when I was born. I have never liked expensive cars or SUVs. I always dreamt of owning a Mahindra short wheel base CJ3B petrol Jeep.

This dream of mine came to realty in 2002, when I bought an army auctioned 1983 model SWB petrol CJ3B Jeep. It was a battered one. The repair took 3 plus months, but the end result is awesome. The engine has done more than 150,000 without a hitch. That's reliability.

Now the Jeep is again in the work shop for a major restoration, which is coming up awesome and I have started putting on original rare army accessories. Sorry no pics.
