Odds, Ends, and Working on Rusty

I made it across the mountains on Monday, now that the snow and ice has let up temporarily. And, that reminds me. We traded in Henry, our red 2012 Laredo Grand Cherokee, for a slightly used blue 2016 Limited Grand Cherokee a few weeks ago.

Henry was incredibly dependable over the course of 100,000 miles, but he was due some maintenance and new tires. Once we considered those costs along with the equity, we decided to get something newer that had the upgrades Ann wanted (such as heated seats). Best of all, our payments stayed the same. We still don’t have a name for him yet: oliver-jeep2

And now for a ramond photo. When Ann and I were last in Ellensburg, Washington, eating lunch, I ran across these urinals in the men’s room. I hadn’t seen kegs used that way, but maybe I don’t get out enough ??…

Yesterday (Tuesday), I spent the afternoon working on Rusty, triaging next steps (what needs what work done and fix-or-buy assessments). I’m also choosing some projects to bring back to Pasco. One thing I did was remove the bumpers and clean them up (not perfect, but good enough for the moment).

1950 Jeepster Woodway, TX $9900

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

Looks in good shape.

“’50 Jeepster convertible, smooth running 4 cylinder, 3 speed manual column shift with O/D…Drives great…AM/FM radio, no rips/tears in seats. No rust, all stock, no modifications…not a perfect vehicle, but solid in the floors, fenders and panels…a very honest car that is 67 years old. Not much to make this a show-stopper! Serious buyers please. I do not need help to sell this vehicle. ”

1953 Truck Dually Weld, ME $1000

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

Thank Craig for this find. If this has the hard-to-find-dually adapters, it’s a  good price.

“1953 Willys pickup truck. Great restoration project or Hot Rod. Frame mostly good, one cross member needs to be replaced (I’ve found one on Ebay for less than $100). Cab floors need to be replaced. Cowl and cab corners in good condition. Engine was replaced some time ago with a Buick Dauntless 6. Engine does fire. Fuel lines no good, so only put fuel in carb to get it to fire. Bed in ok condition, but needs a lot of work. I bought this for parts for another one I’ve been rebuilding, but didn’t need anything off from it. It has a dual rear wheel kit. No title, bill of sale only.
Scammers need not reply. CASH only from your hand to mine. NO SHIPPING or third party deals”
