From totophotos.org comes photos of these two jeeps that suffered through tornadoes almost fifty years apart.  The flattie got the worst of it.  There are a few other jeep photos at the site, too.

6×6 Jeeps in the Jolly Jeepers Jeep Club

I was looking up some PTO parts when I landed on the Jolly Jeepers website.  According to their website, the Jolly Jeepers is Oregon State’s oldest jeep club, having been founded in 1962. Two of the jeeps owned by members are custom 6x6s.  You can see more 6x6s here.

Coincidently, just before publishing this post, Blaine happened to send me pictures he took of one of these 6x6s at the Orphan Car Show hosted by the Studebaker Drivers Club in Oregon City, Oregon, this past Sunday.  I’ve seen “Gator” listed both as a DJ-6 and a CJ-6, so I’m not entirely sure what the base platform was.

Here’s an early shot of the Gator:

And here are Blaine’s photos

This one is built from a CJ-8 or Scrambler:

This might be a good price on a motor.

“An older Hobart 250 amp welding generator driven by the industrial version of the Willys 4-134 flathead engine used in the CJ-2a Jeep and the MB. Brush-type generator. Electrical side was working last time I ran it 5 years ago, but the engine uses oil badly and needs and overhaul. Parts are readily available but I have too many projects. See photos. Engine is complete with generator, carb, starter, fuel pump, and should run with minimal effort. The electrical side has the main DC welding output and also a 120v dc convenience outlet for a grinder or light. See the gray machine in the photos. Cables not included in sale. $250 as is where is or make offer. Loading and delivery available at reasonable rates.

Also for sale is the green 400 amp welder. This is driven by an electric motor. Machine dates from roughly the 1950s and works well but does require 3 phase A/C or a converter box. I ran it on a converter which works fine as long as you don’t run it at full output. $200 as is where is or make offer. Loading and delivery available at reasonable rates.”
