A Tear Drop Camper for a MB

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

Steve spotted this great article about a jeep owner who decided to build a teardrop trailer for his rig.  Alan Johnson wrote the article as part of the premiere issue of Cool Tears and Tiny Campers Magazine, a magazine devoted to small campers.

The more I look at these, the more one of these might be a good solution for our trip back east.  I guess I’ll need to share this idea with my wife.

You can read the entire story from Cool Tears here

Fumigator on the back of Flattie

• CATEGORIES: Features, Fire/Police/Industry Vehicles, Magazine • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This short blurb about a fumigator on the back of a jeep was published in the January, 1948, issue of Popular Mechanics and available for free at Google. It doesn’t indicate whether this is a custom unit or an aftermarket fumigator available for the jeep.  I see no indication it is powered by the jeep; it may be self contained.

New Desert Dog Tires? West Virginia

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

These look more like Mini Terror tires rather than Desert Dogs. Still, finding brand new, rather than retreads, is unusual.

Dune Buggy Jeep with Box on eBay

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

Not perfect, but pretty good.

“A Tonka Toys Jeep Dune Biggy in the box. The box does show some light soiling and wear. The jeep also shows some light soiling/wear. There is some light surface rust on the axles, very minor. There are two stickers that say Tom on them, I have not tried to remove them. Overall a nice used boxed toy.”
