Ann photographed these two jeeps on I-80 as she drove west. She finally comes home today after being gone a month. Yeah! (Sorry about the smashed bugs obscuring the view)

Gayland shared these photos.

He writes, The Bankhead Highway Memorial Convoy rolled through Ft. Worth last Monday and I was ble to get some photos.  Only one GPW in the bunch.  M38’s, M38A1’s M37’s, M151’s, assorted Heavies (Many of which I have ridden in  in my career) and 1 M3 (I think; I am not a Halftrack expert).  The Packard Navy Staff car was my favorite!

This is another big milestone in this project. The proofs have arrived. I can already see some changes that need to be made. I’m hoping for a late November publish date, but we’ll see.

Factory-Looking Hole in CJ-5 Body

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

Bill Reiss has this 1965 CJ-5 with what appears to be a trailer wiring hole similar to the hole in the early 2A’s that had leftover military bodies. Anyone ever seen a factory hole like this on a CJ-5??

The hole is cut PERFECTLY, like it was done on a panel prior to body assembly… And the original blue paint is on the edges of the cutout. This is unusual, as I’ve never seen this before. I haven’t found evidence of an optional wiring kit/plug/whatever in the ’65 print info.

Anyone else ever seen this? Was it possibly an option?
