Metcalf’s Travels

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

Matt alerted me to a man named “Metcalf” from Pirate 4×4 who is “documenting his 2000 mile round trip in his flatty. 1000 miles up, 4 days of wheeling, 1000 miles home”. Anyone willing to travel 1000 miles through Utah, Idaho, Montana and Colorado at a top speed of 53mph is a brave man indeed! Note the picture below. That’s the jeep outside Moab. I wish I’d thought of that!

CJ-3A with Snow Plow and Auburn Jeep-a-Trench Santa Rosa, CA

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A, Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I was looking through some pictures related to this post and spotted this CJ-3A with a Jeep-a-Trench and snow plow in a wrecking yard in Santa Rosa, CA. I don’t know if it is for sale, but it might be. It’s no wonder the back tires are flat!

1946 CJ-2A La Porte, IN **Status Unknown**

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

UPDATE: Was listed at $10,000. Status Unknown.

$6000 for the jeep and $4000 for the winch. As best as I can tell, the winch looks WWII to me.

“Very nice 1946 Jeep Willys CJ2A 1st year for the civilian jeep with authentic WWII Braden Capstan winch. Runs great has 18,000 miles pretty much all original. Has sat in a barn for most of its life. Minimal rust nothing to worry about. 3 speed manual tranny. 4X4 works great. Comes with 2 tops and 1 set of doors. This jeep is a blast to drive you can fold the windshield down or leave it up. The winch is a fully operational and genuine WWII equipment. Asking $10,000.00 complete or will seperate if you just want the jeep or winch. $6,000.00 for the jeep and $4000.00 for the winch.”
