Andy shared this lengthened CJ-2A. It looks about the same length as the CJ-2Ls. It’s just rare to see one this far east.

“Up for sale is my 1948, CJ2L (cj2a just longer). This was in the same family since the 50s, was on a private ranch. It has 14 inch wheels, and a stretch from the dealership. I purchased this as a back up plan for a couple trips this coming year incase my other jeep didnt get finished. It looks like I’ll finish my other Willys in time so it’s up for sale. I have a clean and clear title, it runs and drives great has a brand new Joe Jennings rebuilt carb on it, needs some brake work (personally I would do the disk brake conversion- about $450)”

Dorothy and Louise: The New Kittens

March 22, 2023 • CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Updates are limited today. I spent much of today repairing a plow for a neighbor, so no jeep work got done. Then, we picked up the new kittens today, which have kept Betty Page and Lizzy very busy this afternoon and evening (which means they will sleep hard tonight).

The 2-month-old kittens are sisters and rescued cats. We discovered that a neighbor fosters cats, though she mostly ships them to the Seattle area as folks over on this side of the state don’t adopt them too much apparently. We formally named them Dorothy and Louise, after these two jeep explorers (because we were told the cats were pretty curious about their surroundings). We can attest that the kittens have wasted no time in exploring their room (they will have more run of the house later).

However, we are having difficulties telling them apart, so they may end up just as Thing One and Thing Two.

In the two pics below, you can see how happy Lizzy is! The good news is that the cats have had lots of dog time, so they aren’t scared of our dogs at all.

Betty Page is enjoying the new kitties, too.

NOS Free-Lock 27-spline Hubs

Thanks to Chris for selling me these NOS Free-Lock 27-spline hubs he got from a friend. He also included copies of the original documents that were included with the hubs. Since I have a Dana 30 on Biscuit, these will got on it once I start working on it.

This doc is one I posted last week:

I’m guessing the warranty is no longer any good, lol?

As I mentioned last week, this doc is the first evidence I’ve seen that Free-Lock became a “division” (whether actual or virtual) within Dualmatic. It is my belief that Selectro was another division:

Here is one look at the hubs:

Willys-Overland produced a July 01, 1947, brochure featuring its family line up of vehicles.

So, when buying this brochure, make sure to check the date of printing.

Here is the 1947 version of the tri-fold brochure:

The brochure opens to the left revealing these two pages. At the bottom of the page on the right is the date “7-1-47”.

“This is an original 1971 CJ5 jeep with a solid, no rust steel body. It has the rare dauntless oddfire V6 engine that runs great. Pictures with a storage box but it comes with the back seat. Started adding some things but we just don’t have the time to enjoy it. Replaced the headlights and taillights with led, but I still have the originals. Added nerf bars for easier in and out. This jeep is in excellent shape and solid. A great classic to have. You don’t see them like this anymore. Asking 8,000”
