Jim recently purchased this nice looking CJ-2A.

He writes, “Here are a few pictures of my 1947 Willys CJ2A. It has had a ground up restoration several years ago. I bought it out of Kansas and now it is in the California Sierra Nevada Mountains where I use it at our cabin.

The Willys has a new tub body but original hood and tail gate. It has all the original plaques and auto numbers. All other parts reflect the period except a roll bar and a steering stabilizer. The engine runs like a sewing machine.

I am still working on it to make it better and original. The paint job also reflects the year. If I could find a restored flat fender with the original body and in this good of shape I might jump ship. Meanwhile I enjoy driving this vehicle where everything works like it did 63 years ago, which by the way is my age!”

Congrats Jim.  It looks like fun 🙂

Green Diamond Tire

Gerald spotted these unusual tires. The theory behind these tires is similar to the “Sawdust tires” that were produced and sold a couple decades ago.  Sawdust tires were recapped tires with sawdust (sometimes walnut shells were used too) embedded within the rubber mold so that as the rubber wore, the sawdust was exposed.  These tires were only good for a year, but according to internet reports, worked quite well. Apparently, they were also much friendlier to the pavement than studded tires, though studded tires work better.  Here’s a brief thread about them.

According to their history, the Green Diamond Tire of North America arrived in 1999.  As of 2009, the company is under new management and seeking to build a manufacturing location in the Western US.  Probably one reason for the Western Location is that a large number of Big O Tire retail outlets are selling the tires in Colorado.  The company’s western headquarters is currently located in Denver.

The rear isn’t looking like ’41 running gear to me.  It could be a CJ-2A body. I’m not sure which parts are from a ’59.

“1946 Jeep Willys in good running condition with very little rust. 1959 Jeep on 1941 running gears included for a parts machine, but this Jeep could also be built up on its own. 770-784-1239.”

2nd Annual Willys Truck/Wagon Rally in Moab

Pete (from the Old Willys Forum) forwarded a letter from Casey announcing the 2nd Annual Willys Truck and Wagon Rally in Moab on May 14 & 15, 2011.

If you have never been to Moab or Southern Utah, it truly is a treat.  I lived in Utah for 9 years and traveled down to Southern Utah every chance I got, though never had a jeep during my time there.  So, I had to explore on foot or by bike.   There are still places I want to explore down there (For example, I have yet to hike the subway in Zion NP or the Wave in the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness at the border of Utah and Arizona)

=========
Hello all,

Were doing it again!  The 2nd annual Willys Rally will be held in Moab UT on May 14th-15th.  You will find the Flyer attached.  This year WILL be bigger and more exciting.  I learned alot last year and cant wait to do it again on a much larger scale.  We have plans for T-Shirts with a variation of the print on the flyer.  It should turn out to be a keeper.

Please save the date and send your RSVP’s via e-mail to caseydimmitt@yahoo.com Please include # of people, Names (including screen names), e-mail, telephone #, Address, Year/ model Willys, Also specify Mens size or Womens size and how many of each you would like.

The Plan with the shirts is to finalize the design and then get pricing based on the based on your interest.  At that point I will let yall know how much they will be and put the order in for the shirts . I’ll order as many as I can get orders from from you folks before I leave for the event.  There wont be shirts to buy at the event and you must come to Moab to get them!  Please let me know what you think of the graphic.

I plan on being there for a full week this time to see all Moab has to offer.  Not sure if it will be the week prior or after the event…We may camp, we may hotel it.  Who knows??? I’ll keep you posted for those that want to make it more than a 2.5 day event that it was last year.

Thanks
