Jeeping Outside Tucson in a CJ-5

Today, Jim sent me some pictures of his CJ-5 and a recent trip along the outskirts of Tucson.  Thanks for sharing Jim!

Jim wrote, “A few pictures of me and my wife running around in the Rincon Mountains east of Tucson,AZ. There are a lot of forest service access roads around the area. Some are easy, and quite a few are challenging. Our Willys is mostly stock. The only thing not stock and original is the engine and a Warn overdrive. It is a Ford 289 donated from a totaled Mustang. The rims and tires are from a 74 CJ-5 that I sold a while back. I still have the old rims and tires for it in my garage. There is no lift kit on it. The tires on it now are too big, but we like the look. Just have to be cafefull to keep the fenders off of the rubber LOL!!”

Early Slat Grille MB in Southern California

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

Just a few updates tonight . . . I might be wrong, but looking at the slope of the driver’s entrance, it almost looks like a Willys MA curve.   The frame and front clip appear MBish though.  The photo was taken in the Santa Rita Hills of Southern California in May of 2008 by “ManDog”.

Compare it to this shot of a MA from the WillysMA website.

LeGrand spotted this unusual toddler bed (at least I haven’t seen one).

“Military Jeep Toddler Bed
Excellent Condition, looks like new.
Standard size crib mattress fits inside ( crib mattress is not included).
The Bed measures 29 x 53 inches. The entrance is 12 – 13 inches above the floor.
I bought this bed for $300, I am only asking $100.
Comes from a clean and smoke free home.
Hand crafted from laminated Baltic birch and other solid woods.”

Pinewood Derby Flatfender Jeep

Want to build a Pinewood Derby jeep?  Check out this ‘how-to’ article from Scrollsawer.com.  A pattern is also available there too.

Steve forwarded a picture of the Pinewood Derby jeep his stepson Larry made when he was fourteen.  Steve notes that Larry probably got the idea from looking at Steve’s Jeepster.

Anyone else have a Derby Jeep?
