No Updates Monday

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Remember that time I wrote that I hoped regular updates would resume on Monday? Well, life threw us a curve. I visited my mother for Mother’s Day and learned she is struggling much more than I realized. So, we will probably be moving her sooner rather than later.

I brought back a few items from her place, like some desert dog tires for the race Jeep and some tools, but had hoped to bring back the DJ-3A aka Patterson (with Steve Carter’s offer to trailer it to Prosser). However, my mother’s garage door was broken and  Patterson wouldn’t start (fuel pump not working), so I told Steve we’d do it some other time. I never got the fuel pump working, but I did get the garage door working again. I will swap in my electric fuel pump for the time being.

1943 “Mountain Rescue Issue Title Is On The Spot” Video

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

Interesting video of the RAF mountain rescue team and their use of a jeep, ambulance and climbing skills to investigate crash sites in the hopes of saving pilots and crew.

“Various shots of RAF (Royal Air Force) Mountain Rescue Service at work. Their job is to rescue RAF pilots that have crashed in hills / mountains. The search party consists of ambulance, jeep and team of mountaineers. An aeroplane flies over head to locate crash site. Good shot of team walking along ridge silhouetted against sky. We see the mountaineers climbing rock faces. The crash victim is strapped to a stretcher for descent. The mountaineers keep in contact with the ambulance and aeroplane using walkie talkies.

This is the crew of RAF Llandwrog training in the Snowdonia Mountains.”

“Up for sale is my 1964 Kaiser Willys CJ5 tuxedo park. It’s my 4th ground up restoration. I’ll start with what I didn’t do which was changed the gears in the axles as they looked great. And also I did not paint it as you could see. It’s original color was red. I did replace every race and bearing as well as front and rear hubs.

Completely rebuilt original Hurricane 4cyl engine. Show quality original rebuilt carburetor. Professionally rebuilt transmission and transfer case. All new u-joints. New alternator (tuxedo park had them factory) . The body is a reproduction all metal and not a bit of rust. Radiator and hoses all brand new. Right now it has a dealer sold dually farm kit on the back which is easily removed. There are seven brand new wheels and tires. Interior is all new and includes a new “Vintage Air”heater and defrost system.

Glass is new and it comes to the brand new best top super top. Frame is an excellent shape as I replace the original. Also there’s a brand new wiring kit from Walks 4wd along with an electronic distributor. I’m sure I missed a lot of items that I added to this so any questions feel free to contact me.

Oh, Also for this price will be extra parts such as the Tuxedo Park three on the tree transmission and shifter as well as the original transfer case plus many other parts. Just in case you’d like to restore it back to a tuxedo park. Approximately 150 miles on rebuilt engine.”

“1942 Willy’s MB modified for off-roading. Lots of aftermarket and swapped parts added on, a ton of fun even just to drive on the street. The motor is a Ford 289 (might be a High Output but not sure) from a 60s Mustang with a mild cam, mated to a 4 speed T18 trans. Dana 44 in the rear, Dana 20 up front with a Dana 18 transfer case. It is running on open headers at the moment, but I have the mufflers if you want them. The car sat for a handful of years, but I have completed a lot of maintenance work and she runs and drives very strong:

“I’m selling my 1960 CJ3B Willy’s. The vehicle is in excellent shape for the year and the odometer reads: 46,000 mi. Had a hell of a good time in Pismo 5 years ago, then it was parked and hasn’t been started since. Body is straight and true, except the hood. The hood has a crack on the surface and will need to be refinished. Otherwise, it’s a great vehicle and with a little TLC, you could have a great and collectible Willy’s.”

Stainless Body Ashton, ID **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: stainless/jewels This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: ****SOLD**** Was $3500.

(07/29/2020) It doesn’t appear this has been used.

stainless-body-aston-id1 stainless-body-aston-id2

“This is a somewhat slightly stretched imitation of a CJ3-A body in stainless steel. I say CJ3A because it is flat fender and low flat hood with a one piece windshield, but no vent. I looks to me like it would fit best on a CJ-7 frame.

There is NO title of any kind, there is no VIN, never has been.

There is a tub with half doors, fenders, hood, windshield frame, door handles, a “for looks only” roll bar, rear bumper things, all stainless steel, and black vinyl top with hardware. The grill in the picture is a normal CJ2-A grill and in very good shape, but not stainless steel. There is a stainless steel grill but it is an insult to jeep and whoever made the rest of the body components.

I talked with a man that told me a Texas company imported, from the Philippines, nine of these bodies sometime around 2010 and used three of them , for what he had no idea. He bought the remaining six. He resold them, He thinks that this is one of the six he resold.

The dimensions in the drawing are as close as I can get.

Ask any questions.

I am not moving very far from the listed price.”

1943 “Mud and Flood” Video From Italy

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

The mud and water sure looked miserable! There’s at least one shot of an ambulance jeep.

“Army jeeps and lorries struggle through the mud tracks, they drive past ruined village. Allied soldiers trudge through the mud. Various shots of a completely flooded street in Borgo San Lorenzo, people stand in doorways and a lorry drives through. Soldiers lift children from a truck to their house, and a lady wades through whilst three soldiers push a bicycle.”

Update to Updates

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

Over the weekend we moved 99.99% of our stuff to the new place. We were only able to accomplish that goal due to the help of Ann’s family (a hearty thank you to all of them who helped). As you can see in pic below, taken after the first two rounds of moving, there was quite a bit of stuff. Once much of these items (aka crap) was put into the upper-level storage, a third round filled the shop again. Thankfully, we have a ton of storage in the upper level of the shop (note the hole in the back wall near the ceiling; that’s a winch-lift setup to elevate stuff into the storage area), so we can store a bunch of stuff until the MIL passes (then a bunch goes away).

2021-05-01-shop-lores

The next step is to get the kitchen arranged to my satisfaction, then turn my attention back to the shop-office. It needs paint and updating. After that, I can move everything into it. Then, attention will turn to the woodshed area (paint, hang over head lights, setup up shop vac PVC system). Once that’s done, then the shop itself will get clean and arranged. I suspect this will take a couple weeks.

As for when updates will resume, we still don’t have broadband internet. Only DSL is available in our area at this point (though we were told that for $50,000 we could get Spectrum cable–Spectrum is still a few country blocks away from our place–to which we said thanks, but no thanks). My hope is to return to regular updates by Monday May 10th.
