Mark shared a photo of his CJ-3B spruced up for Christmas. Candy canes on the rims and red and green on the winch (that is one nicely rolled winch, too).

The birthday crew here at eWillys received a special request regarding Jesse Ybarra’s birthday today. Somebody asked if we celebrate birthdays. Our answer is sure, why not? So, happy birthday Jesse. And, we look forward to visiting 2016’s FC Roundup.

You can send him birthday wishes via the FC forum or on Facebook.

This article from the December 1955 Jeep News shares the growth of Bosemer Plumbing and its use of two different Jeep-A-Trenches. Note the serial number of the very early trencher: 11C-915. I never would have guess that was one of the first ones ever built!
