Vito’s Father’s CJ-5 from Italy

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

Vito from Italy has fond memories of jeeping with his father back in the early 1980s. Here’s a photo of his father at the helm of his CJ-5. Check out the tires. Yes, some Desert Dogs made it all the way to Italy. In fact, Vito is hunting for a set for a vintage build he’s creating. He’s got another Italian friend who has some old vintage dogs as well. I had no idea!

Paul found this link to Larry Shank’s story of camping with a CJ-3B and teardrop trailer in the southwest on Petrolicious. Nice story and great photos. You might remember his story from the CJ-3B Page.
