Episode 789 - Interview Bill EV TJ

I'm just a simple guy with a welder and a garage. introduction to Jeeps  started as early as I can remember on my families farm taking our John  boat down to the river on a rickety old trailer in an equally rickety  old 1964(ish) CJ3B.  When I was 16 I swept all the barn dust off of the  old CJ and commenced on a sympathetic (that is to say cheap) restoration  actually getting it onto public streets!  30 years later, I got a hold  of a 1997 Wrangler and started converting it to electric.  The motor,  transmission and battery is out of a salvaged Tesla Model S P90.  The  conversion rolled out of the garage about a year later but was,  unfortunately, pushed back in the garage about an hour later.  It'd be  another 6 months before It left the garage again.  Now, over a year  later, it's still going strong!
