1945? CJ-2A Salado, TX **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250.

It’s not a 1945. It has a mix of parts. Possibly a GPW frame. Has a military fender.

“For Sale: Willy’s Overland 1 9 4 5 Open Jeep.
99% Original Flat Head “Go Devil” engine, original 3-speed transmission and high / low range transfer case, 16″ steel rims. Runs & shifts excellent.
The Jeep’s Tub is in good shape. The floors have been replaced with OEM replacements about 15 years ago. The tub is rust free, no rot, even in the jack compartment. The rear bed has been replaced with 3/32″ diamond plate steel. All the metal work was professionally welded and looks superb.
The jeep runs excellent, & has the 12V conversion, but the brakes are bad. It needs a new Master cylinder. An auxiliary gas tank is currently in use because the original gas tank finally gave out. Both seat frames broke a long time ago, only the bases remain. The top back parts were un-salvageable. We never had a rear seat in the Jeep. The front driver’s side glass is cracked.
It’s time for another restoration and/or rebuild. It’s a great hunting jeep, but we want it to go to a home that has more time and money to put into it.
*What is not original: The front bumper had a tube bumper installed at some point during it’s previous owner’s possession, so that needs to be re-done, and of course, it needs a new gas tank. The emergency brake system was removed. It does come with a full size 16″ spare.
CLEAR BLUE TEXAS TITLE
First $2250.00 CASH ONLY takes it home.
TEXT or Voice Call for an appointment to come and see it
The jeep is located at our home in Salado, TX, about 3 hours South of Dallas off I-35.
If you’re reading this the jeep is still for sale.”

1950 CJ-3A Corunna, MI $2500

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

It runs and drives, but needs work.

“This was a project of mine and started fixing her up but lost interest due to other projects and space. It runs and drives but the engine started knocking after I initially changed the engine oil. Its either a push rod or even a rod pin could be bad. The oil was like tar when I drained it. I have already redone the entire cooling system including Radiator refurbished and new water pump and hoses along with a new Fuel Pump. Frame is Solid and Drivetrain is excellent. I am firm on price as that is what I have invested. Not in a rush to sell it, so please understand what firm means. Its the OG Green color. Located in Corunna, MI.. Clean Title”

To the End of the World — Cape Flattery

2014-12-30-capeflattery-hurricaneridge1

Colter, Karson, Ann and I having some fun at the Hurricane Ridge Visitors Center in Olympic National Park. The elevation is 5,200 feet.

The holidays are officially over for us. My boys flew home to Salt Lake and we drove back to Pasco. Ann’s got her VA doc appointments lined up for January, while I’ve got to hit the writing hard to complete some of the sections I avoided last month. Well, to be honest I managed to write only two days all of last month — too many things were happening. On the plus site my ‘editor’ aunt is enjoying the first draft of the book immensely. So, it shows promise!

One of those things (besides the boy’s visit) that kept me too busy to write was our last trip of the year, a trip to the end of the world, or more accurately to the farthest northwestern point on the contiguous United States: the end of the Cape Flattery trail. As I write this my wife and are debating if the claim is truly accurate or not, but rest assured it felt like the end of the world! (See Wikipedia’s list of extreme US points)

A map of our late December two-day trip from Renton to Cape Flattery and back.

The idea for the trip began with Karson. Prior to their arrival last week, he asked if we could take a trip to Olympic National Park during their visit. I thought that sounded like a great idea since neither I nor Ann had been in the area since the late 1980s.

On Monday we drove to the ferry in downtown Seattle, crossed to Bainbridge Island, then drove north and west until we reached Cape Flattery. We were in a hurry, as the drive took about six hours and the sun was supposed to set at 4:30pm. We arrived at the cape around 3PM, with just enough time to hike the Cape Flattery Trail to a lookout point over the Pacific Ocean. It was cold, but fortunately not too windy. Eventually, the sun dropped far enough that the we had to return to the car. By the time we reached our motel in Port Angeles it was very dark.
