Update glitch — final update

January 7, 2010 • 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

January 7, 2010 • 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

January 7, 2010 • 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:

Here’s the front of the jeep:

Builds: 1947 CJ-2A with Detailed L-Head Rebuild

January 5, 2010 • CATEGORIES: Builds, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Any of you Pirate 4×4 readers might have seen this thread about a 1947 CJ-2A rebuild (and I should probably spend more time on Pirate as I really haven’t spent any time at all on the site), but this is a nice detailed review of an L-head rebuild, frame restoration, disk brake installation on the original running gear, and more. Lots of pics and thoughtful, intelligent discussions.

Here’s a few pics: The beginning, a $2800 jeep from Port Angeles, Wa. It’s in good condition, but will benefit from a rebuild.

Here it is partially dissassembled:

Here the engine is going back together. BTW, did you know you can ‘borrow’ those pistron compressors through Schucks/Autozone as part of their lend a tool program:

Need a more powerful Snow Blower?

January 5, 2010 • CATEGORIES: Unusual This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Dave forwarded me this Tim-the-tool-man-Taylor version of a Snow Blower. I’d ask why, but I already know the answer: because he could. Below is an excerpt of the article. You can read it in its entirety and see more pics here.

“December 1, 2005 If you’re tired of anemic, one-lung snowblowers with their slipping drive belts, you might consider Kai Grundt’s V8 snow blower which raises the bar on the traditional snow blower in every respect. With electric start, electric block heater, antifreeze heater and eight cylinders, it has no drive belts to freeze up and you’ll never get bored with the job as the 454 cubic inch big block Chevrolet V8 produces 412 horsepower, 430 foot pounds of torque and can throw snow 50 feet at just 3500 rpm. Nor will you get cold as the machine has been ingeniously designed to route the engine coolant through the handle bars, with the rear mounted, enclosed radiator keeping the operator nice and cozy.

The first point to make is that this is not a V8 grafted on a traditional snow blower carriage but a purpose-built unit crafted around a motor of this magnitude. It functions very much like a traditional blower by way of operator input and feedback and offers effortless safe operation.

Maneuvering the massive beastie (it has a total wet weight of 912lbs) is a snack thanks to the hydraulic-drive 4WD skid steer on independent walking beams which offers a zero turning radius. It’s also as fast as you like, with an infinitely adjustable speed range on the drive wheels via dash mounted flow control. At the opposite end of the scale, it has more than enough torque to pull your car out of the ditch before the hydraulic motors stall! ….”

1991 YJ + 1954 Wagon Fenders =?

January 5, 2010 • CATEGORIES: Builds, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The Israeli bureau (Or Shahar) found this interesting project. I think this build works better than I might have expected. The builder blended the truck fenders with the front clip of the YJ rather nicely. There’s still plenty left to be done; I look forward to seeing the final product.

“Ed started with a 1991 YJ with 4” lift, 15×10 alloys and 31×11.50 Thornbirds. While using the YJ’s hood, grill, tub and inner fenders he gained access to a 1954 Willys pickup and was able to blend the old Willys front and rear fenders to the YJ body giving the Jeep that retro “flattie” look. He said “you won’t believe how well the 2 meld together. I was going to build flat fenders (myself), but after a friend of mine who has a Willys Pickup, Wagon, and a Jeepster said he had some extra fenders (that cinched it).”
