UPDATE: Still Available.
Greg’s got the CJ-2A for sale.
“For Sale is a 1946 Willys Cj2A with 52K original miles. It has the original 134 Cubic Inch inline 4cylinder engine, T90A 3 Speed transmission with rare column shift, Spicer 18 transfer case and Dana axles. It is 4X4 with high and low gear that work as intended. The carburetor was just rebuilt and it runs great with good clutch and brakes, the parking brake works as well. The water pump, the fuel tank and the fuel pump were just replaced. All lighting, gauges, turn signals and horn work as they should. This vehicle also has the rare heater box under the dash. This vehicle was a barn find and has just been recently repainted with olive drab green paint as you can see in the pics. It has less than expected rust for a vehicle of its age and has a very solid frame. The seats were also redone. The Jeep was recently displayed in a local car show and received numerous compliments. It is fun to drive or show. I will entertain any REASONABLE offer.”

has anyone had experience with those later military wheels on older jeeps ? is the offset a problem ? thanks.
I believe the offset does cause a problem (rubbing on turns, decreased turning radius) and they are just plain ugly, not very Jeep like! I think they are inexpensive and readily available, thus there popularity.
Military windshield, not civilian also. Still, a nice clean jeep.
I’ve heard they can be unstable with those rims. Jeep is missing the three data tags and has the wrong windshield but is clean otherwise.
I too have heard they can be less stable, but I suspect that is especially true when roads or trails have grooves worn in them. I would guess on a newly built, flat road it wouldn’t be noticeable.
