Article on MD Juan

May 4, 2024 • CATEGORIES: Features, videos This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Bill shared this article on MD Juan and some of the recent updates to their product line, along with some infrastructure updates. I know folks mock MD Juan at times, but their ability to manufacture inexpensive bodies means the company can’t invest heavily in additional equipment (chicken and egg situation). Nice to see the company continuing to support the vintage jeep community.

Four New Jeep Watches

May 4, 2024 • CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Bill also shared this article regarding some new jeep-branded watches by Marathon. Maybe it will interest someone?

I haven’t worn a watch since about 2001 (by then I had a portable phone and computer as constant companions). I found over the years I didn’t like wearing watches, jewelry, bracelets or anything on my fingers. I don’t even wear my wedding ring often (thankfully I have a patient wife). I recently discovered my aunt has had a life-long aversion to wearing items on her fingers and wrist, so maybe a DNA thing?

I suspect this is an aftermarket CJ body atop a military chassis. The body has civilian aspects, but the rear cargo area has the boxes necessary to allow the vertical shocks seen on MBs and GPWs.

1960 CJ-5 Hodgenville, KY $1500

This jeep has some odd fenders. It also appears to have some Huffman hubs.

https://www.facebook.com/commerce/listing/955487329633405

“Done up as a “army prop”. Has a military hood but it is a Civillian Jeep. Clean Tennesee Title 4cyl Motor is unknown. Frame has rust on front crossmember near steering linkage. Transmission doesn’t seem to shift at all. Trans crossmember is out of it. This is a TOTAL PROJECT that does not run, stop or steer. Don’t ask dumb questions. That’s why it’s priced so low. All four tires hold air and it will roll in a straight line. I can help you pull it up onto a trailer. Would be great for a mini golf course prop or yard art. Make a rat rod, fully restore it, let it sit in your yard, use it in a low budget movie, it can be yours for $1500 cash”
