(10/30/2022) It runs and has a plow.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1315745845923902

“1962 CJ5 with 4 cylinder F-Head. It has been in a storage building for the last 10-15 years. I have a 1963 just like it and I had originally planned on restoring this one to have two matching ones. Unfortunately I don’t see that ever happening with all my other hobbies I have. It really needs to have a brand new tub from 4wd.com put on it. Frame isnt too bad for the year. It does run. It does have a plow. Needs restoration, so no tire-kickers”

Jeep Article with Several Assertions

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

stacked-jeeps

Bill shared this article that includes several claims I hadn’t encountered. So, I figured I’d shared this to see what others thought:

https://www.quora.com/What-is-a-product-design-detail-that-only-engineers-will-notice/answer/Nelson-McKeeby

  1. “A little known fact is that most United States wheeled vehicles were designed to stack with only limited modification”?
    Was this an actual design goal or a nice to have? Maybe this assertion is true, but I have only see a few examples of stacked jeeps. I can’t imagine the front clip of the Jeep underneath could handle extended shipping in this manner (which, by extension, suggests to me that it was never really ‘designed’ to do this).
  2. “The size of the jeep was dictated by the railroad cars that would carry it”?
    Again, this design aspect is news to me. My understanding is that the design was a carryover from the Bantam design, which was a carryover from the Bantam vehicle size. The short wheelbase was excellent for a light weight design and maneuvarability. 
  3. “The mass of the jeep was dictated by the ability to stack up to four high”?
    Again, I am unfamiliar with this claim.
  4. “Nearly every part of a jeep is catalog ordered…. The basic army Jeep was the same from start too finish”?
    I guess the term “same” would need to be defined, as the basic WWII jeep went through mini alterations over its life.
  5. “Post WW2 when there was a massive shortfall in available farm equipment, there was a period of around seven years when Jeeps were pressed into service as farm equipment.”?
    ummm … they were designed, tested, and marketed as farm vehicles starting during war time.

Anyway, check out the article for other claims.

http://www.earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.php?threads/153804/

“I am the third owner of this jeep. The jeep has a clear CA title. The jeep has a unique feature with the addition of a 120 volt power outlet bank run by a fan belt driven dedicated generator mounted above the regular 12 volt generator. The jeep runs well, the brakes master and wheel cylinders, brake shoes and brake lines have been replaced. The steering box has been rebuilt. The tires are weather checked but have good tread. Under dash instruments have been added and it has a CB radio installed by a previous owner. Body is in good shape and it has an older vinyl top with doors, but the rear door window/panel has shrunk, but still works with gaps between the rear of the sides zippers but attaches to the footman loop on the tailgate.”
