We really appreciate everyone hanging in there with this transition.
Dave and I spoke today, it was good to catch up and chat.
As mentioned we are still working out the transition and will be back to regular posting real soon.
Spring is here in many parts of the eWillys world. Other spots still are getting some snow, there is always that off chance possibly of a storm here in NJ, but for the most part it won’t hang around that much.
I was able to get the Wagon and Willa Dean out already this year and had a few good drives.
Please remember there are some really cool upcoming events in the Willys world, if you have time to check one out please do and support your favorite Willys vendor or club sponsors.
I have seen some great giveaways from our Willys key vendors and it’s pretty awesome they can do that, it’s all of you who make that possible by supporting them.
Most of all it’s about getting out and meeting people and seeing old friends and making some new ones!

This is Dave .. David shared this Convertible DJ-3A. It’s listed as a 1958, but has a King-Seeley 0-8 speedometer, which would make the jeep a 1956 model if original to the jeep. However, this has a curved front bumper, something I didn’t think was introduced until later (perhaps in 1958?).

David, a reader from Texas, shared this video of an abandoned jeep made to run again. Called a CJ-3A in the video, it is clear it was was originally a 2WD DJ-3A. Given the Stewart Warner gauge coupled with the lack of a passenger-side heater vent, this is likely a ’58 or ’59 model. The jeep was adapted to 4WD using the axles from a WWII jeep (steering on the front axle; full floaters on the rear). The transmission cross member is likely WWII as well, though it could be from a 2A. I didn’t watch the entirely of the video, but maybe there are more clues (such as T84 vs T90).
David’s selling his running 1953 M-38A1 project.

“Pretty intact old Army Jeep. Began life in OD green, shows Navy grey in places, now pale yellow w. Civil Defense markings. (reproduction sticker)
F-134 motor. Rochester carb. Originally 24v electrical. I have switched the coil, distributor and starter to try and get it to run. Jeep sat idle for many years on a ranch south of Marfa. Jeep will fire and idle. Shows decent compression. Runs on fuel in carb bowl or starting fluid but not building oil pressure. Have not tried to run longer until I could determine if it was oiling but not showing on the gauge or…
Please call or message me (via the Facebook link) for more info. I’ve tinkered a lot on this Jeep and can give you a good idea of its condition. Would be a great project, much of its original army stuff is still there. Body in pretty good shape considering. The 24v stuff can go with it if desired. Restore, build a ranch / hunting Jeep or get running as-is. Patina for miles.”
