“On non opp with pink slip in hand..
I WILL NOT RESPOND TO COPY/PASTED AS TITTLE..
I WILL NOT SHIP
CASH ONLY

MOTOR TURNS BY HAND!
NOT FROZEN..

A perfect project for restoration. Only 2 coats of paint original green and the red on it now.
Only rust is in tool box and small patch passenger rocker panel.
Non the Jeep Army version this is the Marine Corps version. You can read the hood numbers all Dash plaques are complete from what I can see it’s only missing the starter. If you’re looking at this you know what it is and what to look for in Parts alone they can be parted out for more.”

Just a Few Updates for Wednesday

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

UPDATE: I accidentally scheduled this for Thursday when it should have appeared today. Anyway, after I wrote it, I endured a second wave of chills and night sweats. Oh joy! Feeling better right now, but I can tell I’m not quite over it just yet.

Strange day Tuesday. I got a 10am haircut. Felt fine. Got home and checked on eWillys: site was down. As I awaited the site’s return, I started feeling achey (it came on quickly). So, with the site down and me possibly getting sick, I decided make good use of that time by cloning my old hard drive on a new SSD hard drive. It wasn’t until i started that process that I Iearned it would take about 12 hours to complete the cloning.

About an hour after that (say noonish), my whole body felt terrible and I came down with chills. Meanwhile, the site mysteriously popped back up. However, by then, I was ready to forget updates and focus on getting better. Also, by then, Ann was coming down with chills as well. So, we pulled multiple layers of covers over our bed, turned on the heating blanket, and watched some TV. We shivered for a couple hours, unable to get very warm.

By 4:00, still having the chills, I had some hot chicken noodle soup. That took me from chills-ville to overheating and sweats. A couple hours more bed time and tv and food started sounding good again. Ann, too, was feeling better.

It’s now 9pm and I don’t feel too bad anymore. So, not sure what we had, but (fingers crossed) it seems to have passed rather quickly. Weird!

So, I’ll save emails and other stuff for Wednesday (assuming I still feel good).

“1942 Press Photo Jeep parades over Panama roadway under construction. This is an original press photo.

Panama: Under the supervision of the United States Public Roads Administration fourteen hundred men are at work constructing a trans-Ishmanian highway which is scheduled for completion (with all weather paving) by the end of March 1942 if the work is not hampered by rain during the present “dry season.”

An Army motorcade of “peeps” and “jeeps” traversed the colon-madden Dam section of the road on February 2nd transporting Army, highway, civil officials and press correspondents. They made the round trip from the Pacific to the Atlantic and then back. Concrete paving for the road is being placed at the rate of one mile of single strip each day. Concrete is carried by barge up the tropical foliage line Rio Gatun to it’s intersection with the highway.

In some places bulldozers and other heavy equipment have to make 100-foot cuts through hog backed hills and also make fills in sheer-dropping, water torn ravines. Photo shows-part of the “jeep” parade over a section of road which has not as yet been laid with concrete. The road is entirely within the Republic of Panama. Photo measures 9 x 7.25 inches. Photo is dated 02-06-1942.”

Thanks go to Tremaine Cooper for sending me this unique cutting board. I do love cutting boards of all shapes and sizes, so this will go nicely with the others I have. This will get used. Many thanks!

I’ve photographed it next to a Vodka bottle to show the size.

Parts Jeep Service Patch on eBay

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

Maury spotted this unusual patch. Neither of us have seen one before.

View all the information on eBay

“100% authentic. I do NOT sell reproduction patches. Thank you. Patch came with some of the other items you are seeing us list today. very likely 1970’s dealership or even early 80’s, but considering the group of stuff it came with we are going with the 1970’s. Don’t try using the iron-on backing – it is too old and will likely destroy the patch.”
