Someone was looking for 16″ rims.

“I am selling a set of four Willys CJ3A (can also be used on a CJ2A) that are in excellent condition. These have been in an interior storage facility for years and have no rust or the typical pitting. I don’t see any significant areas of rust, etc. These wheels are 16″ x 4 1/2″.
These need a quick blasting and will be ready to paint. I have some older CJ2A wheels and can include a fifth wheel if you need a complete set. Please drop me a note or call if you have any questions. Open to reasonable offers, but please keep in mind that repo wheels of this era run about $180 ea.
I also have a very nice F-134 engine with T90 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case. I will be listing those in a few days.”
It runs, but needs work.

“Looking to trade 1948 Willys CJ-2A for another interesting vehicle project; sports, classic, muscle car etc. Also would consider speed parts, engines. Etc.
This jeep had been at my grandfathers hunting cabin for as long as I can remember, sat for a long time but with fluid change and tuneup fired right up. I converted to 12 V and pointless distributor along with new carburetor and master cylinder. Comes with several extra new parts. No title it was lost long ago so best for trail rig farm use.
Have video of it running I can share, no smoking knocking etc. Water pump is getting a bit noisy but I have a brand new one that is included just needs to be installed.”
Unclear how much value is here.

Ann and I spent yesterday moving more stuff from Mom’s place to our place. We have one more load to go, so we will be back there around the 12th. Mom’s place goes up for sale on April 15th and, most likely, will sell within a week. Hopefully, the sale of the property marks the ending of a transformative three years that began with Dad’s passing in 2019. Even without a pandemic this would have been a strange time for us, but add that and other external happenings and it’s been a crazy few years!
Speaking of changes, we have a couple contractors coming this morning to bid on a couple projects, so no updates today. There will be updates Wednesday.
In another of the series of why-I-am-not-working-on-jeeps-right-now posts, the warm weather has allow me to get busy the last couple of days regrading the lawn next to the guest house. The previous owner had put a garden next to the shop. We wanted that to go, because it was in the shade most of the time and because it didn’t make sense for us in that location. In addition, there was a negative slop into the south side of the guest house. Finally, we want to add a walking path along the lawn side of the shop and install some new sprinklers (line were laid for this area, but, we have discovered, the growth of the lean-to-structure (at back) and the construction of the guest house a few years ago appear to have been built, in some cases, over the original lines. So, we are having to locate this sprinkler line as we go.
Here’s what it looked like when we bought the place:
All those issues led me to regrade the area this weekend. Pulling up the grass turned out to be the most difficult part. So, I used my fork-lift forks to stab, then lift the grass. The result was this jumbled mess.
Eventually, I got all the area roughed out, with the sod and dirt piled in one big pile.
With the roughing-out completed, today I will spend some time using a level to see what other work needs to be done, mark the future walk-way path, and layout some additional lines and sprinklers.
Now I just have to find a place for all that dirt!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Bill spotted this trailer on eBay.
“August 1942 Willys MBT, buyer pays & sets up shipping.
This trailer was professionally restored by a well known military auto restoration company in the USA. The trailer was found, in-tact and painted black. Upon research, I found that this trailer was never mutilated, it still proudly displays the original data tag, holds all of its original hardware down to the lead washers for the reflectors AND the original markings from WW2. The trailer has the early axle with cast center section, correct lunette, landing leg and combat wheels. Being the first month of production for the trailers, the ACM number is located next to the hand brake rather than under the spring hanger. The trailer comes loaded with all the ammo boxes, fuel can, mortar boxes and parachute pack in the picture. I will do what I can to assist over seas purchasers.
Trailer will not be released until all funds have cleared, no exceptions.”
