Great weather for a spin this morning. Off down the post office depot to collect a parcel and then round and about to get the battery charged up and cobwebs blown off. Next week the jeep goes off to Dallas Autos for MOT and a few other bits and bobs. So today I stripped off all the bits that aren't needed - axe, shovel, gas can, bags, back seat and general stuff that I had accumlated in the stowage lockers.
Whilst the back seat was out I took some pics of the inside of the tub

The tub is a very close copy of the late war ACM Type 2 tub, it has flat toolbox lids like the Willys. Apparently the footrests are different and so is the folding of the joins on the wheel arches. See if you can tell :)

The trip to the Post Office depot was very fruitful, I collected my latest acquisition from the ether

This was kind of an impulse buy, seemed like a great partner for the entrenching tool. It was sold as WW2 but I doubt that it actually is, none the less it will no doubt look cool when I eventually decide what to do with it!
