An Idaho summer trip with high school friends and their families. The Green CJ5 belongs to my sons’ friend Drew, he built this Jeep himself and is running an AMC 304 with a Dana 44-30 combo and ARB air lockers.

Longtime readers will remember the 2011 post about Randy and his boys’ jeeps. Randy shared how the three of them turned basketcase jeeps into viable, modified vehicles. They continue to drive and jeep them in Idaho. Since we last check in with them, they’ve made some updates to their jeeps. Randy describes the changes below (thanks for taking the time to write this up Randy!):

Randy’s Jeep before a summer trip.

Randy’s 46, CJ2a (blue):
In the winter of 2012 Dusty and I swapped in most of the running gear that was originally installed in his Jeep when we built it in 2004. We Installed the Buick 231, radiator, transmission, exhaust and drivelines. I did a Saginaw power steering upgrade and installed disc brakes on the front axle as well. The springs were re-arched and Bilstein shocks were installed. In order to make room for bigger tires I opened up the back fenders about 3 inches behind the tires and moved the rearend back 1 ½ inches. The fender trimming is not noticeable unless there is a stock Jeep around to compare it to. Last spring I purchased a new set of 37 x 13.5 x 15 Super Swamper Truxus MT radial tires and mounted them on the 15 x 10 Mickey Thompson aluminum wheels that were originally on Devon’s Jeep. Those tires made an unbelievable difference when running in the snow. I usually air down to about 3.5 to 4.5 pounds of air pressure and didn’t have any trouble losing tires off the bead on our snow runs.

This past year I installed a set of suspension bucket seats made by Corbeau that are designed for use in a side-by-side such as a Yamaha Rhino. They have the same dimensions as the Jeep seats that Corbeau makes but the bottom of the seats are shorter which makes it easier to get in and out of the Jeep. I also notched the front of my rear inner fenders and moved the front seats back about 2 inches. Seat heaters were installed in the new seats as well. It is a lot more comfortable to drive now.

1966 CJ-5 Mountain Home, AR **Status Unknown**

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $3000.

This runs and drives. Most interesting is the rare hardtop. Anyone recognize that?

“Hi I’m selling a 1966 Willys Jeep by the Kaiser Jeep corp. It has 87,115 original miles, originally a barn find stored for over 15 years with the same tires when parked. It is still the original arena yellow but could use a paint job. Has some what of a rare Buick 225/3.7L V6 only offered from ’66 to ’71, it is known to be a very dauntless motor and it is.
T-90 4 speed transmission
Dana 18 transfer case
Dana 27 front end
And the famous Dana 44 rear end
The jeep runs and drives great considering it didn’t come out with power steering and the 4wd works great also. Has the lock in/lock out hubs. It does have a little rust behind the front tires but not a rust bucket. It would be a great hunting/farm rig or awesome to restore. It does have a bikini and a hard top. The only problem I know that it has is it will pop out of first gear I was told it’s a cheap fix though.

1950 Wagon San Antonio, TX **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Willys Wagons • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5900.

This has no engine or tranny, but everything else appears to be there.

“1950 WILLYS WOODY WAGON ASKING $5900
Here is your chance to live the California dream, well…you do still need the girls in bikinis and a surfboard or two.
This 1950 Willys Woody Wagon is super cool and has had tons of money invested in it over the years.
The vehicle has front Power Disc Brakes, Power Steering box, Air Conditioning, Heated Leather Seats and more.
The past owners bought the vehicle at an auction and pulled the high performance Chevy V8 and transmission out to power another car. So what you see is what you get. If you’ve got a built motor in the garage and you’re looking for something cool to put it in…this is it!
The body is pretty nice…not perfect, paint looks ok. It’s a nice looker from 15 feet. I’ve noticed there has been some patch work in the floor boards.
As you can see the interior is super cool looking. It too is not perfect, but shows pretty nice. One could drop a hot Chevy 350 and trans in it for under $2000 and have a super cool beach buggy.”

Sean’s GPW Project

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB) This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Sean’s been making good progress on a 1943 GPW that he bought last year and gives credit to Merlin Hanson for helping him locate it. Sean also managed to find another GPW body off of eWillys. As you can see from the photos, he’s disassembled it and now working on cleaning, repairing and reassembly. Unfortunately, the cold, snowy weather hasn’t been very helpful. Sean has this T-90/TC for sale.

Here’s some pics of Sean’s progress:
