For some odd reason, it appears a bear mistook the top jeep for a salmon and bit a huge chunk out of the passenger side of the jeep?!? The seller of this operates a jeep salvage yard in Kingston, NY. The bottom jeep looks in decent, stock shape.

I keep thinking that I’ve seen all the different jeeps that were ever built. But nope, here’s another one I’ve not seen before, discussed on this Argentinian website. Both the pics below and the video are from that website. It’s really cool!

Dinner Time at the Rusty Jeep Hickory Pit
January 11, 2010 • CATEGORIES: Features, Monuments/Statues • TAGS: BBQ, Menu. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
If you are like me, you love to eat slow, pit cooked meat (pork, beef, bison, chicken, and just about anything else). Actually, I’m partial to Kalua Pork, named not for the beverage, but rather for the method of cooking: Kalua Pork translates as “to cook in an underground oven”. Now, I don’t have an underground over, but I have a heavy crock pot. All you need is about 5lbs of pork butt or a picnic cut, a table spoon of liquid smoke and a table spoon and a half of salt. Drop it into your pot (don’t add water). Turn it on high. Wait 5 or 6 hours. Throw in about 1/4 cabbage sliced. Cook another half hour, and it will be done: I guarantte you will have some fantastic Kalua Pork. Easy and nutritious.
But, if you don’t feel like cooking your own pork and you are near Port Aransas, Tx, then drop by the Rusty Jeep Hickory Pit. And, of course, there’s even a rusty jeep in the parking lot (which no doubt ran until it was parked? lol). Josh’s sister sent him some pics, seen below, and I found a few additional pics on the net (thanks Josh).
The sign below is attached to the front grille of the jeep.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was for trade.
This seller is looking to trade for a truck.
“I have a 1946 Jeep Willys cj2a im looking at trading for a 71 chevy shortbox pickup. I would prefer a 4×4 but a 2×4 might be alright too if its in good shape. Engine doesnt really matter neither does transmission really. It should run or be close it but i wont turn down a good project if its in good enough condition. My jeep willys is a 46 Cj2a and is complete minus a gas tank and ignition. Clear title in hand yours should be too. It comes with a brand new tailgate, windshield frame, seats and all rubber seals. The jeep is taken a part right now but sits as you see it in the picture. I picked it up a few years back and just havent had the time to get into it yet.
Tires hold air just fine its been garaged for the past 5 years so shes ready to be restored to your liking. It still has the original hurricane flat 4 engine too which turns over smoothly. All new brakes on it too. wired 12v instead of 6v now.
Im located in rapid city. I can trailer the Willys to you within reasonable distance for milage if you dont live in the area. I may take cash for the Willys too if your interested but dont have a nice shortbox for me. Shoot me an email and we can go from there.”

Book: Willy – The Little Jeep
January 10, 2010 • CATEGORIES: Books, Features, Fire/Police/Industry Vehicles This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
Here’s a kid’s book called Willy: The Little Jeep Who Wanted to Be a Fire Truck. I haven’t read it yet, but it’s supposed to be based loosely on a real event and a real 1947 CJ-2A. The book has its own website.
From Amazon.com, “Join Willy as his dream of becoming a fire truck takes some surprising twists and turns. Travel with him on an adventure that brings him from the sidelines to center stage and safely back home again.
Written originally as a Christmas present for a friend, WILLY has already captivated children of all ages. As one reviewer noted, “The book is written for a child, but has so much meaning for adults as well. I don’t mind admitting that a tear of joy rolled down my ‘headlight’ too!” Others have described Willy as “lovable,” “endearing,” and “plain ol’ fun.”
The story, penned by volunteer firefighter Don Estes, is based on actual events that happened in Clinton Corners, New York and Clinton, Connecticut.”
