1946 CJ-2A Mandarin, FL $9,500

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

UPDATE: Price dropped to $9,500.

(10/09/2016) It’s supposed to be mechanically strong.

“Only two previous owners. Nice example of unmolested Willys survivor. One paint job since new. Garaged most of it’s life. Frame horns excellent. Less than 1000 miles on new engine. Nearly $5000 recently spent on brakes, steering, transmission and axle seals, and other wear items. Have receipts. A reliable drive anywhere trouble free Willys. ”

Warn’s “Summer Hubs” Hub Caps & Others

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

UPDATE: Matt spotted a here-to-for unseen set of hubs. They are listed as #7.

Most know that Arthur Warn’s jeep-related business began with his introduction of the summer hubs, designed to allow the front axles to spin freely. They came packaged in red, green, or blue boxes. As you can see in this ad, Warn advertised them as “hub caps”, but their use during summers led people to call them “summer hubs”. He also credited them with all kinds of benefits.

warn-hub-cap-ad

Ad was posted to the CJ-2A page. I don’t have a date for it.

But, few know that there were two different types of Warn summer hubs. In addition, there were also at least three different other summer hubs produced.

  1. According to this thread on the CJ-2A page forum, the first type produced was the waffle version:
    warn-hatched-hub-g503-1warn-hatched-hub-g503-2
  2. This example shows the second version. They were larger and had dimples:
    warn-summer-hubs2
  3. Ted introduced me to the Kurtland-branded hubs. He’s got them for sale on eBay.

  4. A photo of these unbranded, aluminum (non-magnetic) hubs were posted to the CJ-2A page by Bruce W. If you recognize them, please let us know the manufacturer.

  5. Bruce M. posted this photo of an FEG branded summer hub to the CJ-2A page. (now, more on this hub here: http://www.ewillys.com/2023/07/22/f-e-g-hubs/

  6. Andy shared pics of this flange familiar to M-38A1 enthusiasts, the Clary Flange:

7. This set appeared on eBay in October of 2018. No indication of model or maker:

FC Interior Photos Needed

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

Tyler Powers needs some high resolution (300 dpi) interior and chassis photos of an FC for a 3D model. Contact him at powersty123@yahoo.com if you can help.

He writes, “I have recently bought a professionally made 3d model of a FC-150. I am going to take it and put it into a video game I play called spintires. The trouble is being that the model designed to be used for renders and has no interior and no frame or drivetrain. I am going to have to model these myself. This is difficult with the limited quality and number of pictures of FC’s on the internet.

What I could use help with is if you could make a post asking for any high resolution pictures people have from their FC’s specifically of the interior and frame. Restoration pictures of rolling chassis would be really useful.

Here are some examples of the photo angles he’s hoping to get:
