This afternoon I’ll be heading to Tacoma, Wa, for the 5th Annual Northwest FC Get Together. I’ll be heading there right after I rent a jackhammer and break up some concrete, so I think I’ll be in the mood for some relaxation!

I’d planned on doing posts, but got busy with the book. So, updates will go up Sunday along with a report on the FC event.

I didn’t get a chance to mention this, but when I picked up my V6 short block from Daryl, I discovered he had a set of rims I’ve been seeking for years: vintage 10×15 Turbines!  We worked out a very fair deal. I’m thrilled!

Since I also have two sets of four Hurricane rims, I plan to sell one set. Below is a picture of what they look like. If you are interested, email me at d@ewiillys.com. The tires on them are still good and hold air, though there is three one one type and one of another kind.

Here’s another unusual item.

“Nice MA dealer vanity plate, ’89 embossed….great item for the Jeep lover.”

All my family members are always on the watch for a jeep. While driving down the freeway through Montana, my 15 year old niece snapped and emailed this tall wheeled CJ-5(?) rolling down the road with no hood.

Gerald forwarded this no-jeep sign from Deep Creek, MD. Fortunately, he didn’t have his boat with him.

Marc spotted this interesting site full of WWII photos from June 6, 1944.
