Portable Warn Winch?

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

Over the past couple of weeks falling eBay prices has allowed me to get some really neat content. So, the month of August should be a good one for new features.

Here’s the first one. I did not know that Warn produced a portable Warn winch. Anyone ever run across one of these? It appeared as part of a 1970 Warn Advertisement.

Heinz Spotted this Jeep near Suzhayn, Germany

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

I have a habit of infecting family members with the Willys sickness. This causes them to be always on the lookout for jeeps. A few months ago a distant German relative contacted me. Since that time we’ve been sharing bits of family into. I don’t remember mentioning eWillys to him at all, but somehow he knew, because he recently sent this photo while visiting Sulzhayn, Germany. 🙂

1964 Photo of CJ-3A w/ Full Floating Hubs on eBay

I thought this 1964 photo of what appears to be a stock CJ-3A somewhere in southeast Asia with full-floating rear hubs was surprising to see. Is this something that Willys Export offered?
