1951 CJ-3A New Enterprise, Pa eBay

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

If this sat in a barn for 15 years, that barn must have been pretty leaky!

“This Willys is being sold to settle an estate, it will be sold at No Reserve with NO TITLE! The odometer shows 1,572 miles but will be sold as true miles unknown. Fresh from the barn where vehicle has been parked for 15+ years. Great for restoration or donor. Willys & Jeep parts are becoming harder to find as the years go on, this one is complete with every part you need. Included in the auction are both side doors with great frames, front windshield assembly which is complete with glass & wipers, and all framework for the top. Please ask any questions and i will answer you asap. I am listing this for another person who is settling the estate. Local towing can be arranged if needed. Once again it will be sold with no title and true miles unknown.”

A PTO, transfer cases Colorado Springs, Co

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

This seller has a few different items for sale.

“Ramsey PT1-J Dual output single stick Power Take Off (PTO) for a Dana Spicer 18 Transfer Case (Xfer Case) connected with the drive lines and u-joints to a Koenig 8000# PTO driven winch with steel cable. Both have been drained the refilled with fresh fluid and all the grease Zerk fittings pumped full of grease.

This is a special order item for some CJ2A jeeps and is very rare to find in such good condition. The winch alone has been listed on Ebay for over a $1000. The PTO goes for over $150 for a rear output without the chain housing.

I also have a couple Dana 18 transfer cases and T-90’s if interested (not pictured) extra of course.

If you have a functioning Warn Overdrive for a Dana 18, I may be interested in trading. Also interested in other trades for equivalent valued items used for defense.”

Year? MB Spokane, Wa $350

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

It’s certainly not a perfect body, the outside does appear to be pretty straight and rust free.

“Willys MB $350.  Not sure of the year because the tags are missing but it is definitely military because of the lack of a tailgate, storage boxes behind the rear wheelwells, ax and shovel cutouts, and the 50 cal mount on the frame (my favorite part). Tub needs a new front floor but otherwise is in great shape. Includes tub, windshield frame, hood and frame with running gear minus the engine.”

Builds: Rebuilding the front of a CJ-2A

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

One item I often see on older jeeps are cracks, patches and general ugliness along the front 2 feet of the frame rails.  Sometimes, patching simply isn’t enough and an amputation/replacement is in order.

Over at Pirate 4×4, there’s some great pics of a rebuild that were posted during 2009.  Below are just a few of the many pics posted regarding this surgery.  If you want/need to do this to your build, I suggest you visit the site and check it out.

View all the pics and information here.  Here are some excerpts:

The Surgeon reports, “The front frame section was kinked I think from an incident with the tow bar hitting the ground at speed. It was like that when John bought it. The frame pointed at the ground and the front shackle lay flat against the front bumper meaning no suspension. I cut the fubared frame off and built a new section and front bumper out of 2×3 box tubing.”

The patient prior to Surgery, a 1947 CJ-2A:

pic1

Here’s a closer look at the problem.  Note how the frame still trends downward rather than traveling horizontal.

pic3

And, a closer look:

pic2

The front of the frame has been removed:

In this photo, you can see the new sections, build out of 2″ x 3″ square tubing that I would guess is 1/4″ thick.

As usual, the folks at the Israeli Bureau of eWillys have spotted another unusual vehicle.  I *think* this is a combination of a CJ-3A body, willys truck/wagon fenders/windshield, a cj-3a hood and grille, and some creativity.  But I could be wrong….

Update glitch — final update

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

UPDATE:  Final word

After playing with this issue for days, I kept running into similar problems; no matter what code I used to create the submenu, it wouldn’t work.  For reasons as yet unclear, users that are not logged in can’t access the code to make the menu run.

So, I have a big reminder to people that automatically pops up on all subpages when users are not logged, reminding you/them to log into the site to view the subpages.  I’ve also reinstalled some side menu widgets as well.

Please let me know if you encounter any problems .. d@ewillys.com

– D

==============

I updated to the latest version of wordpress, which caused a couple glitches.  I’ve fixed most of them, but one strange issue is that when you aren’t logged it, you can’t see any sub pages.  Perhaps that’s been an ongoing issue about which i was unaware?

I’ll address this asap, but the front page works just fine.

Thanks,

– Dave

Classic Men’s Magazines & a Jeep Image

• CATEGORIES: Artists/Drawings, Features, Magazine, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

My jaw dropped as I opened the magazine.  I was in my early teens (mid 70s).  To this day, I’m unsure why my father hid a couple Playboy magazines in with my mother’s stash of old magazines (I’m guessing he never thought she would look there?).  But, sure enough, in my hands was gold, my eyes were big, and it was coooool!  And thus, that was my first introduction to Playboy.

I can’t say I’ve done much research into the history of Playboy, but during a search of vintage magazines in general, I came across a website called Stagmags.com, which appears to be a gathering and recording of many old ‘stag’ magazines that have since gone out of publication.  It’s a reminder that Playboy had plenty of competition from day 1, but to Hef’s credit, managed to successfully carve out a successful niche, while many others failed.

Now, I only bring this up as a segway to one of two images I found on the page and which you can view below.  Hopefully that provides a little more insight into the image.

Builds: Dan’s CJ-5 Down to the Frame

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

Dan continues to make steady progress on restoring his grandfather’s CJ-5.  You can see previous reports here.

He reports, “The Jeep is down to the frame and axles. I have a new rear cross member on order. The old one was all bent and rusted. The rear hitch was all bent as well. I found a vintage hitch that is actually straight that I will be using. Once the new rear cross member is on I’ll get all the frame welding completed and then coat it with some Interstate One Step Rust Killer. It is less expensive than POR15 and easier to use but still has impressive results. My goal was to get all the frame work done this winter and I just might get there.”

Here’s a couple pics:
