“1946 Willys CJ-2A. Bought this last year with hopes to use on my ranch with some tlc. It looks to be an older sbf conversion that wasn’t used much. Has 64 mustang motor and taillights. Has original drivetrain including a warn overdrive, 11” wagoner brakes, updated wiring harness. Body is solid with one rust spot that needs to be addressed. I purchased new stock seat frames, front and back, electric power steering and tilt column and new master not yet installed. Work I’ve done…installed new carb, pertronix ignition, new battery cables. This is a good project for someone take over. Had a recent injury and will not be able to work on for months so decided this project will have to go. Sorry No trades.Title is in my name on non op with no back fees. This will need to be towed which I may be able to help you with”

The hunt for Uranium during the late 1940s and into the 1950s in the American West was a big deal. It’s also the last great mineral rush with-in the continental United States. Uranium’s grand paradox, as author Tom Zoellner puts it, is that “[t]he stability of our world rests on a substance that is unstable at the core.”

So large was the hunt for Uranium, the May 23, 1955, issue of Life Magazine noted that more man-hours had been spent hunting for Uranium between 1952 and 1955 than were spent seeking all other metals in history, at least according to the Atomic Energy Commission. Having spent considerable time thumbing through decades of mine related information prior to the 1900s, I find this claim dubious, but maybe someone can explain how this could be?

Still, the uranium boom captivated the imagination of the public. Uranium Fever was written and sung by Eliot Britt in 1955 and included jeep references. This great site shows how the search affected popular magazines of the time. In the Life Magazine article referenced above (pg 26), the author included a list of ultimate gear for prospecting. At the very top of the list was a brand-new four-wheel jeep for only $1,685, along with equipment and a map of the best places to hunt:
