Blaine spotted this great article on ‘hunting’ uranium in Utah. I’m sure there were many jeep used to explore southern Utah while chasing uranium, but finding pictures hasn’t been easy. This article written by Brett Huelen and published in the Canyon County Zephyr contains several jeep photos, along with some great stories from his time living in Southern Utah.

“I have a classic Willys Jeep that I’m listing strictly because I need Christmas money and can’t afford the latest service needed on the Jeep. So, right away I should say that the Jeep does need to have the clutch done. Just started acting up the other day while I was driving it around. Really the only reason I’m testing the waters. THIS IS A VERY NICE JEEP. LOOKS BETTER THAN ALOT OF LATER MODELS

Here’s a nice looking CJ-3A that starts at a fair price.
“Hello, up for auction is my 1953 Willys CJ3A. This Jeep is an excellent example of “survivor” and is mostly original. I am the 3rd owner of this Willys. I purchased it from the 2nd owner in 2012. He owned the Jeep from 1962 to 2012. I was told the Willys was owned by the State of Maryland from 1952 to 1962 but I have no documentation of this. The mileage currently shows as 51017 and is the original mileage. The Willys is a 1953 according serial number but is titled as a 1952, this is very common. The build date falls in November of ’52, often new vehicles were titled as the year they were sold in. The title is clear and in my name. The Jeep is mostly unmolested other than a repaint some years back by the 2nd owner. The paint is close to the original color. There is rust but the body is very solid. Sections of the hat channels, body sides where the floor meet them, and the rear panels are the worst of the rust. The floors and tool box botom are remarkably solid. If properly cared for the body will last for many years. The frame is solid and shows no cracking. This Jeep is mechanically sound and very reliable. The Jeep has a set of dealer installed vintage lock out hubs, an original grill screen and a factory accessory Pintle Hook. Also included with the Willys is the Witco black vinyl soft top. I have put roughly 4000 miles on it while I have owned it. I have gone through the Willys and serviced everything.
