Dorothy and Louise: The New Kittens

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

Updates are limited today. I spent much of today repairing a plow for a neighbor, so no jeep work got done. Then, we picked up the new kittens today, which have kept Betty Page and Lizzy very busy this afternoon and evening (which means they will sleep hard tonight).

The 2-month-old kittens are sisters and rescued cats. We discovered that a neighbor fosters cats, though she mostly ships them to the Seattle area as folks over on this side of the state don’t adopt them too much apparently. We formally named them Dorothy and Louise, after these two jeep explorers (because we were told the cats were pretty curious about their surroundings). We can attest that the kittens have wasted no time in exploring their room (they will have more run of the house later).

However, we are having difficulties telling them apart, so they may end up just as Thing One and Thing Two.

In the two pics below, you can see how happy Lizzy is! The good news is that the cats have had lots of dog time, so they aren’t scared of our dogs at all.

NOS Free-Lock 27-spline Hubs

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

Thanks to Chris for selling me these NOS Free-Lock 27-spline hubs he got from a friend. He also included copies of the original documents that were included with the hubs. Since I have a Dana 30 on Biscuit, these will got on it once I start working on it.

This doc is one I posted last week:

free-lock-docs-3

I’m guessing the warranty is no longer any good, lol?

free-lock-docs-2

As I mentioned last week, this doc is the first evidence I’ve seen that Free-Lock became a “division” (whether actual or virtual) within Dualmatic. It is my belief that Selectro was another division:

free-lock-docs-1

Here is one look at the hubs:

And, a second look:

Jeep Jamboree Game Ad for the Gameboy on eBay

There was a Jeep Jamboree game for the Gameboy? I remember having a gameboy shortly after they hit the market. I mostly played Tetris and Scrabble, though I had a few others. I don’t remember hearing about the Jamboree game. Anyway, this ad is on eBay.

1964 Jeep Dealers Point Award Catalog $39.99

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

This unusual jeep dealers point-award’s catalog on eBay has a buy-it-now price of $39.99. It’s an unusual item for sure. My understanding is that dealers (or sales folks?) earned points in various ways that they could redeem for items in the catalog. There’s a pretty extensive choice of items!

1947 Family Line Up and 1948 V2 Family Line Up Brochures

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

Willys-Overland produced a July 01, 1947, brochure featuring its family line up of vehicles. The following year, on July 01, 1948, the company reprinted the brochure with a few minor changes and it was printed on a glossier, thinner paper. So, when buying this brochure, make sure to check the date of printing.

Here is the 1947 version of the tri-fold brochure:

1947-07-01-jeep-family-lineup2

The brochure opens to the left revealing these two pages. At the bottom of the page on the right is the date “7-1-47”.

1947-07-01-jeep-family-lineup3

This image shows the fully open brochure.

1971 CJ-5 Lake Milton, OH $8000

• CATEGORIES: CJ5 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Maury spotted this one. The body is supposed to be rust free.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/163600619835115/

“This is an original 1971 CJ5 jeep with a solid, no rust steel body. It has the rare dauntless oddfire V6 engine that runs great. Pictures with a storage box but it comes with the back seat. Started adding some things but we just don’t have the time to enjoy it. Replaced the headlights and taillights with led, but I still have the originals. Added nerf bars for easier in and out. This jeep is in excellent shape and solid. A great classic to have. You don’t see them like this anymore. Asking 8,000”
