I have pictures of this Jeep in bare metal before the shiny paint photos.  Does the shiny Jeep you're looking at have that?  Most the CJs left are rusty junk.  What did that premium priced Jeep look like before paint?

Did it even have floors before they lined it with that hide all covering?

There may be better language but I think this is the best I can do to convey how I felt when Alan Jackson called and asked me to help him get a particular Jeep.

My shop goals in order are freedom, happiness and profitability and his request taxed the first and the third but maximized the second.

I had a plan for what I wanted to accomplish in my shop this Spring after the Dominican Laredo was finally done.  Alan's request was far outside what I've been doing in my shop lately but he coaxed me slightly and I'm glad he did.

I'm often overdriven to run a one person Jeep shop and stay on the interstate hustling here and there to maximize distance vs time.  It's hard to make a living doing this with all the insurance costs and the toll on my body but on its worst day, it's better than having a boss.  

This Jeep and his requests were a bit of a diversion that slowed me down and took me down the back roads and everyone knows, those side trips are the most memorable.

It took a few months for me to get through this and along the way I reflected how his music had made me smile and I remembered good times.

A couple memories are:

...the radio tuned into the local country channel singing Chatahoochie late nights building trophy winning demolition derby cars with my buddy Crusher in our rented garages while we went to college.

Another is harmonizing along to his music with my best girl (and sometimes her little girl) in my 200k mile plus, proudly owned and lifted K10 Chevy pick-up bouncing and singing.

The privilege came in maybe returning the smiles to him with this Jeep and also in knowing he could ask anyone to do this for him and he thought I could deliver what he wanted.  I understood it's to be used as a Jeep was intended as a get around vehicle on his farm.

It was named before I got there.

Eugene

The name has meaning 3-fold to him and is the best name for a Jeep I've ever heard.

This calendar worthy photo was delivered to me from him the day after I left

Meet Eugene.

I took Alan's money for this Jeep and he took mine for the scratched up CDs I still have in my truck.  They've been in there about 25 years now.  My old K10 would scratch every CD I listened to a lot right in the middle and cause them to skip.

I hope Eugene holds up and brings more smiles than headaches as I hope for all the old Jeeps I sell.  If you were to ever ask me for a reliable CJ I'd tell you there isn't one...but they will make you smile and if you get one with good metal, it will hold its value.

Alan and his accompanying folks were great hosts and too kind.

This is a gratuitous photo taken by Billy for me with Alan's grace.

The harder I work, the luckier I am.   Tomorrow maybe I'll fall on my face but today is a good day.

Thank you for the privilege Alan.
