Fiberglass Flattie Tub Nampa, ID **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800

(June 2009) This has been available since the summer.  It appears this doesn’t have an engine facing cowl.  If I understand the seller right, the bottom/floor of the body hasn’t been attached to the shell.  This is probably a better option for someone who wants a racer or just needs the shell.

“Willys flat fender fiberglass jeep tub new never used. This is for the low hood model no holes and nothing has been cut the floor is still seperated. these sell new for around $2000 I’m taking a loss I just need it gone $800 OBO”

1953 CJ-3A Tuttle, Ok **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.

I just found an earlier posting for this Jeep I had done last year.  It was priced at $4600 in July 2009. So, the price has dropped quite a bit. It was listed as a 1952 at that time.

It appears someone has put some money into this build.  It looks like it comes with a winch and nice cage.  Replacing the brakes is a pretty cheap project. This might be a steal!

“This was confiscated in lieu of debt from an old friend in 2005. The last time it drove was 2006…from Minco to Bridgecreek. It drove GREAT…although it had and still has no brakes. It’s only been started two or three times since then. I’m not mechanically inclined enough (or at all) to get it running to sell for more.  It definitely needs a new fuel pump, carbeurator cleaning, plugs, and new lines in and around both…as they spew fuel when running. I believe the gas tank to be the culprit for the fuel problems…its rusted out pretty good.  New Tires, Winch, Motor Rebuilt in 2003. Please give me a holler if you’re truly interested. I encourage you to come take a look. I can get a hold of some more pictures if needed.”

A May Day in the Hills (almost a mayday!)

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

Just the two following updates tonight.  I’m gonna fix some food and relax tonight!

Today, May 15th, the Boise Foothills gods opened the gate at 8th South, which allows for four wheel drive vehicles to head up into the Boise Hills from 8th Street.

So, with the 82 degree weather, it seemed liked a perfect day to drive the mountain. Besides, my new tire carrier needed testing.

Taking off about 2pm, it took about a half hour from the base of 8th street to get near the summit, where a bypass road allows travel along the mountain ridge both east and west.  Along the way, at one point I heard the passenger front tire collide with portion of the fender that sticks out too far.  It make a very loud crunch and I saw the entire right side of the front clip lift a few inches.  Clearly a design flaw!  I got out to check out things out and my initial assessment was that nothing got damaged.

So, I hopped back into the jeep, drove upwards and, instead of reaching that bypass road,  I chose to take a mini 4×4 trail off to the side to checkout the vista that is right before the bypass.  That’s when things went a bit awry.

At this point, I got out and checked the fender more closely.  You can see in the pic that a crack has appeared across the fender … oops!  Moreover, there was some damage underneath the fender.  No worries though, I can repair it all; it just accelerates the need to fix the ‘header bumpout’ on both fenders.

So, after checking out the fenders, I snapped some pics, got back in the Jeep, and, to my amazement, had a problem getting it started.  The engine that was running perfect up to that point chose that moment to suffer some altitude sickness (it’s about 6000 ft there).   It just stopped starting and running normally.  And, without a clutch to feather, I had to rev the engine, drop it into reverse, and try to spin the jeep around so that I could point it down the tricky hill.

To make a long story short, I restarted the engine many times and feared the battery would die before I could get the engine working long enough to spin it around.  However, I did manage to get the jeep pointed downhill and, thankfully, did not kill the battery; but it was far too close.  So, I need to develop a strategy for managing the carb at those higher levels as there are many places at that altitude left to explore.

Here are some pics from where I stopped.  You can see how the trail disappears in back of it. I had to spin the jeep 180 degrees and get it pointed down the steep incline.

Here’s the crack …

Here’s a shot of the carrier with the jack tied on to the back.  I’ve got a solution for bolting the jack onto the carrier, but I’ll highlight that in an upcoming post.

Here’s me with some seriously ruffled hair enjoying the view.  I have yet to discover the jeep won’t start easily.

Here’s a panorama.

Time to build a Tire Carrier

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

Among those odd-n-end projects I’ve been meaning to complete is the tire carrier.  Since I don’t foresee installing a rear seat in the near future, I decided to build a carrier that would blend in with the roll cage in a way that the tire would be inside the rear area when I install a top (another odd-n-end to-be-done project).

My first decision was to utilize the same strategy for the carrier I used for the rear view mirror:  cut a piece of roll bar tubing in half and use that as a mount to tie into the roll cage. I also wanted the carrier removable in case I wanted to add a rear seat and put the spare tire on the rear bumper.

In this pic I cut a section of tubing in half and then cut one of the halves into two pieces:

After widening them slightly, I have tested all three pieces on the roll bar:

On the longer of the three pieces, I have fashioned two sections of tube that will attach to the piece:

This tire mount was in terrible shape, so I decided to cut off the top piece and work from it:

Here, I have cut the mounting plate and have prepared some rectangular tubing for attachment to the plate.

You can see here that I have welded the tubes onto the half tubing.  I also ground the square tubing pieces and welded those onto the round tubes.  In addition, I welded the carrier plate onto the tubing pieces. Finally, I have added the lower bar and cut the tubes so they will conect to the bar:

Here are some pics of the finished product.  Again, the carrier plate isn’t perfect, but I saw no need to waste it and it works perfectly fine.

Builds: Phase 1 of “Her Royal Highness” Complete

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

Late last year Mark took the plunge and bought himself a Jeepster project.  After about 6 months, he has completed phase 1 of the project, has learned his Willys isn’t 100% Willys,  and, as you can see, is enjoying his efforts now that Spring is fully here.  Thanks for sharing!

Mark writes, “I completed phase one last night when I closed the gaping hole in the firewall caused by an incomplete Chevy V8 conversion long long ago, so now my Jeepster may be eligible to be honored on your site. I was going to name her “Cheapster Jeepster” due to my desire to spend less money than a new vehicle, but after falling in love with my Willys I christened it “Her Royal Highness” and I’ve still only got $4200 bucks invested so far. I got her up to 60mph and drove 75 miles straight with no problems.

Purchased her on Halloween Day 2009 and quickly found out she wasn’t all Willys. She’s a ’48 Jeepster body set on a ’49 4wd Station Wagon chassis & floorboard. It has got a 1956 Chevy 265 V8, Lockheed hydraulic clutch, 1955 Ford F-100 rear brakes and MC, John Deere tractor fuel pump and a Caterpillar temp gauge. The gauge cluster is from a M38 and the gas tank, mounted behind the back seat, is from a 1958 Dodge pickup. And those are just the parts I’ve been able to identify so far.

Phase 1 seemed like a simple task: Start, Stop and roll down the road without leaking out all its fluids, make her safe and legal and do all this without knowing jack about restoring a 60 year old automobile. It’s been a lot of fun and a real stress reliever for me.

-new complete brake system
-new complete suspension front & back
-new fuel line setup
-new wireing harness and firewall rebuild
-clean & paint interior
-fluid change and tuneup

Oh, and of course phase 1 couldn’t be complete without…….cup holders.

Much thanks to your site, I get lot’s of great ideas looking at all the other builds you profile and just knowing I’m not the only crazy, insane Willys addict gives me great comfort. Although I’ve seen other Jeepster 4wd conversions on your site I haven’t seen one that used another Willys to make the jump. I’ll keep you posted on Phase II (Body/interior & drive train improvements).

1953 CJ-3B Milton, Vt $2000

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3B • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The body is a bit rough.

’54 CJ3B. Rebuilt F-head engine,with very low hours/miles. Mechanically this Jeep has been 90% restored. Besides the rebuilt engine it has:  New fuel tank and fuelpump. Rebuilt carb. New radiator and waterpump,new coolant hoses. New brakes all around: shoes,hoses,whl. cylinders,etc. This has been a restoration project for me,I don’t have the time needed to finish.It was converted from six to 12 volt electric at some point. Starts and runs great,all the gauges work. Tires are good. It needs attention to the body next and a new wiring harness. Someone before me put diamond plate steel on driver and passenger floors,patched up body in numerous places. Would probably be best to replace the “tub”. Top is ok,could use some sewing along roof seams.You can use this in the woods as it is or continue with the restoration. Asking $2000.00 Call 802-343-0112 or reply to ad. If it is still on here, it is still for sale.”
