CJ-2A Half Cab Tuftonboro, NH $100

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

No mention of doors. The triple window setup in the rear makes me think this is a Koenig, but the construction of the rear of the top does not look like any Koenig I’ve documented. To me, the front curves in a way that looks like it was designed to fit snuggly atop a 3A or 3B windshield. Any thought on the model?

https://nh.craigslist.org/pts/d/jeep-cj2a-half-cab-hardtop/7060104388.html

“Came off a 46 2A. Will it fit others? You will have to figure that out. Was saving for a project. A little rough but useable as is. Needs glass. Easy restoration project.”

Unknown CJ-5 Half-Top Model

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

Anyone recognize the manufacturer or model of this hardtop? I noticed there were several models when going through the archives. Those long doors and the odd roof makes it distinctive. The way the front edges hug the curve of the CJ-5 top also make it distinctive.

1. CJ-5 sold out of Lebanon Oregon in 2013:

2. CJ-5 sold out of Boomton, NJ in 2016:

3. Jeep customized CJ-5/flattie sold out of Oakgrove, Minnesota, in 2018:

4. Possible example out of Cedar Falls, Iowa, in 2010:

Wood Burning Jeep at the Budensee Museum

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

This is another modified German jeep, but this time it’s a CJ-3A located at the Budensee Museum in Uhldingen-Mühlhofen, Germany. Based on the Facebook caption, it appears to be a wood burning engine.

“(translation from German by Facebook) This Willys Jeep served until the mid-60 s a salary sawer, who moved from home to house. This vehicle prepares the fuel-eating glutton engine for users. What was the solution? Find out more on our historic wooden saw days on 13. and 14.10.2018.”

1969 Jeepster Commando Stoughton, WI $3500

Someone created this custom Commando out of what was probably a rusted body.

“V6 225 3 speed T14 manual transmission. It was redone to look nice with rustoleum tractor red paint and filler. It has wood floor and homemade truck bed. I redid brakes and have it running well. Plow pump was removed. Unique and road worthy, but not highway worthy yet. Not many out there and would be great off-road as 4wd works.”
