Extreme Terrain is sponsoring a unique contest. One lucky winner (editors note — hoping it is me) will win 3 all expenses paid jeep trips to 3 different locations:
Moab, UT // Rubicon Trail, CA // Ouray, CO
You and one friend will be flown to each location for a weekend long off-roading adventure that includes hotel and travel. Don’t miss your chance to explore some of the most well-known Jeep locations on the map! The drawing will be held in January. The contest ends January 21, 2014.

Good luck everyone!
I don’t spend much time on Pinterest, but Marc shared a couple links to Pinterest sites with a variety of photos. Most we’ve seen, but there are a few interesting ones there, too.

Roberto posted this interesting photo on Facebook that he found on ImageShack. Someone suggested this was a test photo from Aberdeen, but I haven’t seen any verification for it. The image looks like it might be from a video. Anyone recognize it?

UPDATE: This is back on eBay
“Belonging to my grandfather who was a draftsman and worked for Willys. Packed away for many years. These are “C” sized mylar pencil blueprints. This is original and from 1953 for a copper screen and guard for windows on a Willys. Will be shipped rolled.
Any questions, please feel free to ask.
I DO NOT ship outside the USA (Canada is NOT the USA).”
UPDATE: Still Available
Here are plans for attaching a forklift to a M-38A1.

I spotted this ten page Stewart Warner 978 heater Instruction manual on eBay. Then I found what I believe is the actual heater itself. Seems like a neat combo.
Here’s the heater: It is a Southwind Stewart Warner 978 M heater. This looks to be for a 6V vehicle though.
Not many updates tonight. I sprained my finger playing basketball today, so typing is a bit slow.
This weekend Mitch Carter and the Wandering Willys Jeep Club drove the Naches Pass. Normally, Mitch would take his M-38 over the pass, but this time Mitch drove his recently purchased (out of a field) rare Perkin’s powered 1966 CJ-6 for its inaugural jeep trip.
You can see from these photos posted in August that his jeep wan’t quite ready to go jeeping when he bought it. However, over the past couple of months his got the jeep back into running shape. Then he added some new wheels and tires. Great work Mitch! The jeep looks good and it appears you had a fun run.
My son Karson will be in Virginia another week before ending heading back to Sacramento where he completes his FEMA/Americorps experience. During his travels this past year he’s introduced a variety of people to eWillys (well done!). This weekend he was hiking with friends in the Blueridge Mountains where he spotted this M-38A1 on a trailer all by itself.
How about this cool photo.
“This 8″ x 10″ B&W Glossy Photo of the Edgcomb Steel Jeep Truck was taken in Philadelphia in 1962. The photo remains in good condition, exhibiting only light signs of vintage wear (faint crease marks, etc.).”
Looks like a lot can fit! Marc spotted this unusual photo on eBay out of the UK.
This looks interesting.
“This rotating maintenance guide is in good condition.It was in a collection from a WW 2 vet.It measures 8″ in diameter.”
Here’s a good shot of a SEEP’s underside during a test course run.

Here’s one example;
Here’s another Scrimshaw knife. It features a CJ-5. Another version featured a flattie.
“A Color Scrimshaw Scene that I have done of a Willys Jeep and 3 Canada Geese. I signed and dated this knife on the bottom left. A Certificate of Authenticity that I will sign and date will be sent with the knife.
Please Note: When I do Color Scrimshaw, I do NOT paint the color on top of the design. I re-cut every line where each color is to go and apply those colors down into the cuts. This is a very time consuming process, but one in which I feel the results are well worth the added effort.
I have, in my opinion, a very low starting bid with NO RESERVE, so you collectors can decide what this knife is worth.
Thanks for Looking! The knife measures: 4 1/8″ closed.”
The jeep is made of Ron Ron.
“Beautiful Jeep Willys model made from exotic woods of Costa Rica.
This is an appreciated souvenir from Costa Rica and a great conversation starter.
Size is approximately 1/18 scale. This collectible car model is not a toy, so wheels don’t turn.
The Jeep Willys model in this auction is made from an exotic wood named “Ron Ron”. There are other exotic woods used in our models as “Cocobolo”, “Guayacan”, “Guapinol”. The whiter wood inserts are made of “Teca”.
Please see the wood colors of the other cars in the last photo. These cars only have lacquer clear coat protection ! Costa Rican exotic woods colors are beautiful and vibrant !
Please note that our models are very different than the $1 imported chinese toys, mass made from tinted pine, widely available in US and other countries. These are original products from artisans of Sarchí, Costa Rica, of a family owned shop.
This shop is owned by members of famous Eloy Alfaro family from the artistic city of Sarchí. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarch%C3%AD
David Wildenberg from Wildenberg Parts emailed me. They will soon be celebrating their 60th birthday! They deal in Jeep (MB, GPW, M38, M38A1 and cj models up to the CJ5) Dodge WC series and M37, GMC 352 and 353. Spare parts and vehicles. If you are in the Netherlands, drop by their warehouse.

Here’s a great photo from their early days. Look at all those jeeps!
Some History:
Wildenberg BV was founded in 1954 in Zeist, the Netherlands, by Wildenberg Sr. The son of Mr Wildenberg, Etienne Wildenberg, also worked in the company, and took over in 1988.
Recently David, Etienne’s son, also joined the company. He is the third generation involved with the company, which makes Wildenberg BV a real family-business.
How it went further:
Selling parts was a beginning but the sale of military vehicles also became a part of the business. The company grew steadily and soon outgrew the location in Zeist, and relocated to its current location in Rhenen. The inventory kept growing and eventually the warehouse had to be expanded. This created more space for the enormous number of parts and military vehicles.
The warehouse:
All these years of experience have resulted in a stock of over 2300 square meters! All parts are cataloged and displayed by type.
60th year anniversary:
In 2014 our company exists 60 year. And we are going to celebrate that! With as start the new years drink on January 18 from 2 am to 6 am. The rest of the year we got lot’s of discounts. Package deals and free merchandise. We are also planning a party weekend and a Army-verhicle tour.
