Thinning The Herd

[JeffP]

I know there is no such thing as having too many Jeeps but I’m considering thinning the herd a bit. I’d really like to hear everyone’s opinion.
I have a ‘72, a ‘74 and a ‘75. All in freshly restored condition with AMC 304 engines, T-18 4 speed Transmission and Dana 20 xfer cases. Axles are 4.27 except for the ‘75 which is 3.73.
Basically the only diff between them is colors.
In year order... yellow, dark blue, red.
Which one of these three would you keep?

Not trying to be a fly in the ointment or sarcastic or anything, just my opinion but the getting in and out of the 5 has always seemed difficult. I would keep which ever was in the best condition and best trail ready and equipped

Agree 100% but I’m hooked on tradition. In each of the three I modified the tub so the fender wells are cut three inches providing more leg room. Also changed the column to tilt. Very comfy now! Other than acres of extra room you can’t really tell I messed with them.
As for condition & specs they are all basically new and setup the same. Over the years I figured out what works in remote areas and what doesn’t. They are setup pretty well.
A better question might be... which color is best?

Well, we are going to need some photos then...

Yellow, but pics would make it easier

Yea. I’m always all in for yellow.
