Hugh’s Jeeps: Larry, Moe and Curley

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

I don’t know how many divorces eWillys has caused, but Hugh is pretty sure he’d be in trouble if he was married.

Hugh writes, “If it wasn’t for ewillys i wouldn’t have found these jeeps.  Got them one year apart and have learned a tremendous amount between ewillys and the cj2a page.  I have a highly modified jeep and a purist  jeep.  Your website is great Dave but costing me alot of money!  Good thing im not married.”

Here’s Larry (left) and Moe (right). Larry is a fiberglass jeep that Hugh’s been slowly transforming into a  MBish jeep. Moe is a pretty stock CJ-2A that hugh plans on continuing to restore as money allows. hugh-jeeps

Here are some before and after photos of Larry. Hugh’s keeping his budget tight and enjoying giving his jeep some military character. It just shows how little changes can make a big difference.

Charles forwarded these photos. The first shows a jeep from 1944. Fast forward to 2013 and we have another jeep (not the same one) being rebuilt in this same location. It’s a nice bit of history.

Jeep Themed Bar St. Cloud, FL **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: DJ-5 & DJ-6, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1775.

Here’s an odd item.

“This is a hand made Jeep themed bar, or service counter. The grille is a genuine Jeep part from a early 70’s mail truck. Its pretty much in same condition it was in when I found it. The bar framing is 1×4 and plywood.
The brick work is 2″ bead foam carved, sealed, and painted to look look like real brick. The bar top is reclaimed Red Oak and Cypress which has been sanded, sealed, and finished with 6 coats of water resistant poly clear coat. This is a unique 1 of a kind piece that you will not find at wal mart or Home Cheapo. This would be perfect in a Jeep lovers man cave, or as a service counter at an off road shop, or even a Jeep dealership.
Its 58″ long, 25″ deep, and 42.5″ tall weighs approx.75 lbs. This is a well made,sturdy piece that you will be proud to own. Can deliver in the Orlando area for small fee.
