This video covers Short Cut, a concept compact throwback jeep that lacks a top and doors shared by Bill. The video also describes this jeep as “cheap”, but I suspect the price-point on one of these would still be substantial. If this ever went to production, I expect buyers would be looking for top options at some point.

I’ve been busy building 2 sets of corn hole boards, while also getting a good parking spot built for the motorhome. We have a family event in two weeks, so I’m also busy cleaning up the shop (much to do). So, I’ve not done much on the tour jeep in several weeks.

In the video below, Jamie wanted a vintage jeep, but found affordable vintage jeeps either too expensive or in poor shape. So, he decided to build one from scratch. Here’s his story captured by TrailWalker on Youtube:

In case you missed it, here’s the first part.

A group of vintage jeeps spent several days exploring and camping in the Cascade mountains. I first ran some of these trails (Naches in particular) back in 1966 on my mother’s lap. Years of rigs running these trails, more than a few bigger than old jeeps, have made some of these trails much easier, but there are still some great, challenging trails that can only be done with upgraded equipment like lockers. Kudos to these guys for doing this the old way.
