Bill shared this article about a vintage jeep collector in Georgia from last April. The author overuses the “GP” term a little bit too much for my tastes, but the general message is that owner Dane Schoff is having a good time with his jeeps!

UPDATE: Patty Upton plans to sell this jeep in the not-so-distant future, according to this earlycj5 thread: http://www.earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.php?threads/160468/ (thanks Maury!)

Originally posted August 14, 2019: Daniel Strohl reported on Hemmings that the CJ-5 used to circumvent the earth will spend a year at the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame. You might remember that the Upton’s made it around the world in 1984, well all but a small, but a difficult mile of their trek in the Middle East proved impossible to complete. For two decades they held onto the jeep, then they eventually fixed it back up and drove the last mile in the Middle East in 2017.

Bill shared this article link about Vigilante 4×4 in Texas, but I forgot to post it last night. The company focuses on restomods of classic jeeps.
