“For sale is a Jeep tool kit to carry in your vehicle. It consists of a hard plastic case and a set of hand tools. There is a small hammer, a screwdriver reversal to hold hex tools, and a set of hex sockets with a hex tool (One of the sockets may be missing). As you can see the kit is missing the pliers, as well as a few other unidentifiable items. The case is in good condition though dirty, and the latch doesn’t hold strongly- the previous owner used tape to keep it closed. The AMC Jeep logo is in good shape.”

Christian Hazel had some fun with this article that appears on moto trend.com about buying a modified Willys wagon. Thanks to Barry for sharing it.

These are two separate auctions, both involving the Mile High Jeep Club.

1. This belt buckle looks unique. The Buy-it-Now price is $20:
   
   
2. This patch isn’t all that neat, but does go with the all-4-fun theme of the belt buckle above. $19.95:
   

Not too surprising, the cost of shipping ($16.10) is more than the initial bid price ($10).

“Listed is a rare #294 of 1000 Limited edition smoke stack brick from Willys Overland Jeep Chrysler headquarters in Toledo, Ohio. for those that don’t know. Willys Overland was known for their triple smoke stacks. This is number 294 of the 1000 bricks that were kept and auctioned off to help their local boy scout troop years ago when they knocked down the infamous stacks to build a bigger factory to build the new 4 door Jeep Wranglers. It’s a rare item! TY for looking!”

Here’s a collection of jeep pens and pencils. There’s one Willys Overland Motors pencil, too.

This throwback sport to early racing carts was sent to me by Bill. This ‘large’ turnout of these race carts happens only an hour north of me and, coincidently, is where I bought my racing jeep last spring.

Bill shared this odd story of a jeep owner getting a ticket. The comments are odd/amusing, too. The writer claimed the jeep is a WWII jeep, but it looks like an M-38.

UPDATE: I got things turned around and mounted the headers. I also got the sliding door done correctly, the first time :-). I think I measured about 17 times, lol.

Slider after trim:

==========

As mentioned, I’ve been working on trim for our master bedroom. Ann wanted a Craftsman look to the trim, so I put together this look to the header, constructed out of four pieces, two of which require the table saw and planer to meet the right specs (I love having the wood working equipment at the ready!!). The first iteration of this turned out great on Wednesday.

Still needing to finish two other doors, both 36″ wide (closet was only 29″ wide), I decided to do both headers at the same time on Thursday. I measured. I remeasured. I cut. I painted. Everything seemed to be assembling fine. But, somehow, I wrote down the wrong initial measurement, one inch too narrow, which led to this foul up (albeit, much stronger language was used when I set the header atop the boards in this photo!

Yep, I was exactly one inch short! *%@*@!! So, I spent Friday rebuilding another set of headers exactly one inch wider, lol …

On the bright side, it turns out, after walking through the house measuring doorways, that we have two different doors in the future tv/office that have 35″ doorways, so the now-extra headers will work perfectly in there … whew!
