JDcrawlers Messageboard

I have to sell my crawler. It is on ebay right now but I will sell it outside of that. It is in very good shape and almost completely redone. The mechanicals are great. Here is what was overhauled, repaired, repalce, sandblasted, and or painted: engine, radiator, starter, distributor, main clutch bo...
