2014 Jeep Wrangler Willys Edition

Jeep just announced their Wrangler Willys Wheeler Edition. This is supposed to harken back to (or at least celebrate) the simplicity of the original civilian jeeps: the CJ-2A. When I look at it, I don’t see “2A”. However, I like the WILLYS sticker on the hood. Here are a couple links to more information:

4 CO-OP Tires Western MA $500

• CATEGORIES: Tires and Rims This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

These CO-OPs look in great shape. It’s just the rims and tires for sale.

“I have a set of four Grip Spur tires and newer steel wheels. (E78-15lt) The tires still have the nipples on the threads. I bought a 47 Willy jeep and these where on it when I bought it. I have two other sets of tires and wheels and do not need these. The prior owner had just put them on prior to my buying the jeep. The front right tire has a little wear on the outside threads from the steering stop being set to deep and the tire was rubbing the thread. (see pictures) When they were on the jeep, they measured aprox. 31 inches tall. Real nice looking thread and very deep. I looked these up and they are a hard tire to find for jeeps. I have a set and you can own these. I will not drive around to just let people see these. They are what they are. The Jeep threads on the internet can do a better job as many have written how much they liked these tires. Rims are like brand new. Located in Chester Mass. 01011, map quest if you want. I do not answer emails and only take phone calls. If you email me, I won’t reply. I get way too many spam and scam emails to do that any more. Sorry. Price is $500 and I don’t need any trades, just cash. Thanks for looking, 413 six five seven 9 4 five zero

PS; I was also told they would fit other jeeps, like newer CJ’s and also Bronco. You need to know what else they will fit based and the lug pattern. Selling just like they are. I know they fit my Willys Jeep
They are like Super swampers, mud terrains all terrains etc.”

1947 CJ-2A Caldwell, ID **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This jeep was featured yesterday at Road & Track, because it is supposedly a one-owner jeep with only 35k miles. It’s being sold by an outfit that seems to specialize in auto sales out of the Boise area. Given they specialize in auto sales, and given it’s a one owner vehicle, I would think they’d get the VIN number at least close. Instead, they have a strange VIN of 8804255829, which means a person probably couldn’t track the history of the jeep if they wanted. It’s hard for me to believe there isn’t a VIN plate still on this jeep (if it truly is an unmolested, original jeep). After all, it looks like the original gusset is still there. I can’t help think I’ve seen this jeep before, especially the oddly shaped (bent) passenger side fender. Anyone else have thoughts?

Here’s an example of a CJ-3B the same seller tried to sell on ebay with “original matching numbers”, but with an incorrect VIN of 34501. That VIN (which is missing the prefix of 57348) would be for a 1957. You’ll note the speedometer is a post 55 unit as well. The same cutesy tools are attached to the sides like they did with the 2A below.”

Kevin’s Wagon ‘Willy’ Drives its Last Trail

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Going out in a blaze of glory, Kevin’s wagon suffered some fatal damage last week on “Spirit Trail”. He writes:

Even at the time of death she looked gracious….apart of me is gone – it represented me… plus made me feel young. I have mourned now for three days and wait for the insurance adjuster to show up…I hate to give her up. I suspect a small fuel line leak, that I had been chasing because of smell…either the distributor or plug wire ignited the gas. The fact I was headed down hill only fed the fire with more gas. One fire ext. wasn’t enough….so carry two folks!
Well, here is part of me and who I was. It’s sad to say… she even looked great on fire…but very sad. I suspect a small fuel leak that we had smelled but hadn’t found and a short from the ditributor or right side plug wire. I’ve been in mourning for three days. I will not be replacing her.
