“1965 Willys/Jeep CJ3B Meyer T5 plow setup (with title). Body and interior are rough, but mechanically sound. Good running F134 engine. Owned for 13+ years. Not road worthy, but reliable plow vehicle. Has PowerTrax lockers installed in both axles. Good base for rock-crawler project. Decent tires. Plow package includes spare parts including two working Hy-Low pumps, spare plow frame, cylinder, and original ElectorLift T5 pump. Also included is a CJ5 rolling chassis (no title) with an F134.

This motor has all new guts. Block was machined by NAPA and has .020 pistons, rods, and replacement crankshaft/bearings. Hasn’t even been broken in yet. Regret not painting the dipped block. Just surface rust though. Also included is a extra F134 engine, and a set of a front and rear axles, transmission and transfer case. Lastly, 3 totes, chucked full of various parts. Package deal sold as is. You have to come get it. LaPorte, IN near Toll Road. Prefer PayPal, cash will do. I’m getting old and the lockers make it too hard to steer without power steering. The hillbilly hardtop keeps the snow off, but I’d rather have heat and a cab… “

Sunday’s Trip Through Canyonlands

Sunday morning was perfect for the drive through Canyonlands and for pics. Ann, me and Karson. I’m not sure how my son got so tall?? Must be a camera angle thing? Sigh.

On Sunday morning we left for the White Rim trail in Canyonlands National Park. Driving out of Moab, we had a cloudless morning with perfect temperatures in the 60s. As we left, we drove past a jeep hoisted onto a sign for the Expedition Lodge motel in downtown Moab, something that must have been added in the last two years. It’s missing the drive train, but otherwise still has quite a few parts.

In contrast to the yellow jeep, our rental jeep was a white newer 4-door Wrangler. Karson rented it through Canyonlandsjeep, which he said provided the least expensive jeep rentals (the folks there were great). It was slightly lifted and had oversize tires. The one downside of the rental jeep was that we were not allowed to drop the tire pressure. As a result (and as you can imagine) the ride proved to be rougher than it otherwise had to be.

1949 4-Wheel Drive Ad

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

This December 1949 Ad published in the Saturday Evening Post is interesting in that WILLYS is printed larger than the term ‘Jeep’, the latter being regulated to a small badge near the wagon image.
