Sandy Nearly Crunches Ted's Plow Jeep

Ted's CJ-5 was narrowly spared by Hurricane Sandy. Great pics!

Ted writes, "Hey Dave, here's a few shots of a huge tree that came down during Sandy and almost got my new plow truck. I almost moved the CJ and my dump truck in back round before storm but never got to it. I got real lucky, the little CJ pushed her way through three and two feet deep snow storms later in the year!!!"

Ted you were very lucky ,, Back in 97 we had a bad storm came up the Chesapeak Bay & followed the Potomac river to my house & a tree that same size crushed my 54 Willys pickup... I had just bought it 2 weeks before,,,

Hey Zack ,Ted here , just a 4 to 5 inch tear in the hood but no damage to anything under hood. The funny part was I almost moved jeep before storm but then I thought na , that tree will never fall and if it does I will remove whats left and make myself a driving bodyless plow buggie. I'm so glad it missed ,I love the half cab,and its lettering. After Sandy I built a killer set of ice chains for the old girl and pushed three to four and a two foot storm with the jeep !!! Gotta love those 538's Ted
