His Bucket List Checked, Kevin Heads Back to Georgia

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

Kevin filed this report  from Moab at the end of the Willys Overland Rally, Moab 2012.  Thanks Kevin!  Don’t forget to visit the oldwillysforum.com to prepare for next year’s rally.

Kevin writes, “We made it to Moab from Georgia, what an experience! I traveled 1,750 miles @ 25 cents per mile.

I had my share of adventure — Tranny coolant line breaks, gas gauge peg’s at fuel, lost a gas cap and bought a non-vent cap, which caused every hose connected to the tank leak like the Titanic of gas, loose distributor, two plug wires not doing their job, busted motor mouint, spring perches broke (spot welded).   All the particapants made it up the Pucker Hill, but me … oh what fun it is  to get stuck and broke down. Despite all of this, I had a Great Time!!!  These people know how to party and have an honest good time!

All too quickly MOAB 3 – 2012 has come to an end.  So, I’m on my way back to Georgia, carrying plenty of red sand for the ride home.

One more item off the Bucket List.”

These first two pictures are of Kevin’s wagon:

Jockey Don Howard Featured at JeepTruck

Mark has a nice article at Jeeptruck.com about Don Howard, a former horse race jockey,  who ran a jeep rental business out of Creede, Colorado.  Don’s family has used jeeps for several generations, partly because the family has a ranch along the Continental Divide at 10,500 feet.

1947 CJ-2A Congress, Az eBay

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This looks like a nice little jeep.

“This CJ2 is in very good condition, with very good 32X11.50 R15LT tires, a new Northern Industrial 9000 Lb. Winch which has never been used, a tow Bar is mounted on the jeep and has electrical connections, the stereo is a Sony AM/FM CD and MP3 player that works well, it has front High Back Bucket seats and a good bench seat in back.  The engine is a Buick V6 and works well, the transmission is Automatic and works well.  The paint job is custom, light tan desert camoflauge and there is chrome trim.  The title is Clear.  I sell it AS IS, but I know of no serious problems with this vehicle, the actual mileage on this vehicle is unknown.  I have gotten too old to go riding in the desert anymore, but this is the perfect vehicle for those who still can.  The buyer will need to come to Arizona to pick the vehicle up.  It is located at my home about 60 miles north of Phoenix.”

Wood Mahogany WW2 Jeep Tennessee eBay

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

Not a perfect replica, but looks solid.

“This handcrafted mahogany wood model is an extremely beautiful replica of a World War II Willys jeep with machine gun. Weapon is optional and can be easily removed if desired, it also rotates 360 degrees. Model has an extremely detailed interior with gauges, foot and brake pedal and steering wheel that rotates. This is not some cheap wood toy, each model takes an average of 18 hrs to complete and is coated with 3 coats of polyurethane for a super high gloss finish. You will not find a better more detailed model than this. 10″ Length, 5″ Width, 5.5″ Height.”
