Just a Couple Updates Today

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

No updates for Monday. They’ll resume Tuesday.

TRIP EAST: Sometime this weekend or early next week I’ll begin my drive eastward. Ann will be joining me for some or all of the trip. Somehow, we managed to thoroughly flub our communication. She thought I was just going to the Willys Reunion and coming back, so didn’t see the point in traveling. I knew she was going on a trip to the East Coast with her mother after we return home, so I figured she just didn’t want to be traveling all summer. Once she figured out I was going to be visiting folks and having some fun, she was all “hell ya I’m goin'”.

I have changed my route somewhat from my initial proposal. I will publish the new route/schedule around Wednesday or so. I awaiting some 7 day weather forecasts.

T-SHIRTS, no, MORE POSTERS: I did not get organized enough to print shirts for the trip. Over the past month and a half I’ve had a couple bouts of illness, which made me less productive than normal, so shirts will have to wait. However, some folks did not get posters, so I’ve ordered another round of 50. That will give me plenty for the trip and for the Willys Reunion.

“I’ve had this Willys CJ3B since 2007. It’s been garage kept. All original. Even the oil bath air cleaner & glass bowl fuel pump. Has new exhaust & manifold, fuel tank & carburetor. This Jeep was part of the Agriculture Research Service till around 1968 when it was sold to the public. I have a complete title history. Original owners manual, service manual. Previous owner was a White-Tail Deer Author and spray painted it flat black & use it as a hunting vehicle. I discovered the original decals after doing some light sanding. If you are looking for a GREAT little running Jeep or you want to do a frame off restoration, this is the Willys to have. My asking price is very reasonable for the condition. The only time I’ve driven it is to take the grandkids on rides around the neighborhood. We named it TUGGER. I may have put 200 Miles on it since I’ve owned it. The rest of time it’s been garaged.”
