Scrappile Posted February 4, 2018 Report Posted February 4, 2018 Some time back I posted an article about a couple that drove a jeep around the world minus a couple miles. They were not allowed to make the lost miles do to strife in Israel and Jordon. The nephew of the couple wanted to have the jeep fixed up and send them back to finish the trip. My brother-in-law and Nephew volunteered to do the work on the jeep. The finished this past week, this is the news story about it. http://keprtv.com/news/local/the-last-mile-jeep-refurbished-in-tri-cities-will-finally-finish-global-expedition The silver jeep in this this clip, belongs to my Brother-in-law. He bought it new in 1978. Had it for years then sold it. Years later his wife and son tracked the jeep down and bought it back and gave it to my B-I-L for a birthday present.
