Early Warn Winch Brochures

These three Warn brochures are on eBay.
- This brochure for the 6000lb winch includes on the back a reference to Kelly Manufacturing as a distributor of Warn winches in the eastern US. I believe the print date is July 1968.

- The print date of this brochure for the 8000 lb winch appears to be December 1970. It does not include a reference to Kelly.

Broken Facebook Images and Google’s WEBP
February 20, 2023 • CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
For a couple weeks I’ve been having problems loading some images from Facebook Marketplace in my safari browser (I can load the same pages successfully in other browsers like Firefox and Google Chrome). This is an annoying issue because, obviously, it means I can’t see some ads for use on eWillys.
I finally determined that Facebook is experimenting with using Google’s “.WEBP” format for some pics. The solution is to update my Safari browser. Okay, that’s doable.
My problem is that the WordPress version I run (the platform under the eWillys skin) won’t let me post those files, which means I have to move those images to a photo program, then resave them as jpegs.Well, that’s a pain I don’t need!
So, I need to update my WordPress instance, but sometimes that breaks things. So, if Ewillys goes down, I tried updating and things didn’t go well. (I have other sites that update just fine, but my eWillys webhost has locked down the eWillys files tightly, which is both good (for security) but bad (for me manipulating things).
Anyway, if some of you also have the problem with broken images in some Facebook Marketplace ads, that’s likely why (Only seems to happen in some auto ads).

1979 Spring Summer Issue of Jeep News

UPDATE: I had this as a 1978 issue, but I think it may actually be from 1979.
After a year of 20 page newsletters, this one and the next one were cut to twelve pages. This includes an extra flyer advertising jeep equipment. The readers letters section (pg 2-3) contains descriptions of clubs that match my memories of being in a club.

“We have a 1948 flat fender Willy’s overland wagon. Has a rebuilt 4-71 hurricane engine. Column 3 speed, with the factory overdrive. Original Rearend , and Suspension. I put new KYB shocks all around, since we bought it.
We bought this Willys at an estate sale. The previous owner, own it for 40 years. He loved it, but unfortunately, he passed before getting the rebuilt engine running. It’s been sitting since 1997, undriven. I put all new brake shoes, wheel cylinders, and master cylinder. Has manual brakes. Brand new radiator and shroud. Decent paint, for its age. It is not running. Needs your expertise, This Willy’s comes with all new windows and rubber seals. A few more boxes of parts, and a new exhaust system, not installed yet. Light rust on front floors, solid vehicle, but has rust under the drivers door and below drain holes on sliding windows in back. Great flat fender, for you to put your spin on.
