Nate has some ideas to share

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

As part of his CJ-3A restoration Nate left his unique mark on his build with a variety of creative solutions.  You’ll enjoy these.

1. “I mounted my body with hockey pucks and valve springs. I did this to my offroad beater too, and they seem to work quite well.”

2. “I made some doors on my harrison heater to get some more heat to the driver’s side.”

3. “I made a removable jerry can holder that bolts to the rear draw bar. This works really well. I carry about 3 gallons in it, and haven’t had any problems.”

4. “To put turn signals in the 3A grille, I made 8 of these spacers (4 per side) to space out the lens to fit the bigger bulb.”

5. “Instead of having a switch on the dash to turn the reverse light on, I made this bracket with a push switch (one that doesn’t click and locks in the “on” position) to turn it on. The plunger is what activates it. This is a really handy mod.”

Fish and Chips 2010

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

It is winter time and that means only one thing:  time for the Wandering Willys Jeep Club to complete their annual Winter run over the Naches Trail in search of Fish & Chips (You might remember their 2009 trip report here).  The restaurant of choice was a local favorite called Gold Creek Station Restaurant.

I’ve snagged a few pics from their website.  You can see pics of the entire trip here.

Of course, you gotta have the initial line up …

UPDATE:  Brett pointed out there are some tool indents on the side — I gotta agree, so this is probably a 2A of some vintage.

The price looks good.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500

The seller of the body has thrown in a running CJ-3A for combo price of $2500.  I have to say, I’d really like this combo.  I think that’s a good price.
