Robin thinks these photos might be suggest the roots of his Willys Sickness. Yep, based on these photos, he was doomed from an early age.

“Here are some photos that might explain me. The kid on the trike is me. The Jeep in the background was my Dad’s (started my collection). The guy in the M-38 was my Dad’s first Sgt in Korea and the CJ3-a is just a pic my Dad had.”

    The ‘Sgt.’ in pic #2 is resting on an MB or GPW, not an M38. (split w/s, w/s hold down latches, grab handles)

    Craig-My apologies. That’s what I get for doing things at night when I’m worn out. I made the assumption that since this was taken in Korea during the Korean War (Conflict-depending on your political point of view) it must be an M38. It obviously isn’t. I tried redeeming myself by running the photo through photoshop to see the tool box covers (trying to determine MB or GPW) but the resolution was too low. Don’t want to make two mistakes on the same picture.:)

    Marc-That’s OK, I’m not looking for one. :}

    Yep, I clearly missed that too. I didn’t look too closely at that pic. I liked that first pic the best.

    Don’t ask me why but I am strangely attracted to that color combination of FC-150. Never seen one in person but if I ever get the chance to restore another one I think that’s what combo I’d go for!
