You don’t see a DJ-3A (albeit modified) show up on a t-shirt too often! I spotted this shirt in several Moab t-shirt shops.

Nate’s Dual Carb Setup
Nate’s simple reasoning for installing two carbs on his L-Head (I had two YF carbs and plenty of time) belies his good understanding of how why the carbs add more power (see his explanation in the thread comments). As usual, very nice work Nate!

1942 GPW Roseville, MI **Status Unknown**
UPDATE: Was $5000. Status Unknown.
The rear has been lengthened. However, unclear when this mod was completed. There have been other mb/gpws with lengthened rears. However, the bench seat are definitely an eyesore.
“Take a gander at what I have here………..The previous owner did a nice custom job adding 16″ to the overall length with bench seats!!! This one of a kind Ford GPW jeep has a Kaiser Supersonic flat head 4 cyl that runs and drives. This is an awesome trail buggy/ two-tracker ( and summer is right around the corner) or a nice rare find for someone who wants to restore an original one. I have the original title from the first owner when he bought it in 1962.
Serious inquiries, equal trades, and reasonable offers will be pondered, looking for black rifles, Kalashnikovs, Ammo, a nice motorcycle who knows”

March 20th Part I & Part II: Dead Horse State Park
<– Day 1- March 18th-19th: Phoenix Az or Bust! | Overview | Day 3 Part II – March 20th Part 2: Canyon De Chelly National Monument –>
We began the morning in Moab. Our goal was to explore Moab some, then head south for Canyon De Chelly, then onward to Phoenix.
Our first stop of the day was north of Moab along Highway 313. It’s BLM land were I used to camp when visiting Moab. I’d throw a sleeping back on the slick rock and sleep under the stars. That was back in 2000-2003. Now, this area is closed to camping. It is one of the downsides of the rise in tourism in the area.
Next, we continued along Highway 313 toward Dead Horse Point State Park. It’s has amazing vista overlooking Canyonlands National Park, with it’s twisting, turning rivers wriggling amongst a vast rocky landscape. The views are incredible, even on a cloudy morning. I’m sure on a sunny, cloudless morning, the rock would be a bright reddish-orange.
Roberto’s Jeepster Illustration
Roberto just completed an illustration of a Jeepster. He’s thinking of creating some black t-shirts with the Jeepster on it. If you are interested in having him do that, comment below or contact him at http://www.robertoflores.com

Photo of Jeep at Gas Station **SOLD**
UPDATE: This could be a blue star hardtop. The photo was on eBay.
The jeep is small in the photo, but I thought the hard top looked interesting. The rear window has an angle in back and it looks like the front door has a very small window. This is a reprinted photo.
