Roamin’ Chariots Jeep Club Patch

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

I found this Roamin’ Chariots jacket club patch on eBay (purchased out of Kansas). The Roamin’ Charios Jeep Club appears to have been originally based in the Tri-Cities area of Washington (hence the design includes Mt. Rainier in the background and the desert-scrub-looking plants in the foreground). Now, the club’s contact is in Spanaway (near Tacoma) on the west side of the state. So, I’m not sure how active or how many folks are involved in the club at this point.

The patch is 9″ wide and 10″ tall. I’ve included a roll of electrical tape to better appreciate the size.

1943 Photo of Jeeps in Sicily on ebay

I figured at the very least that the church still existed. So, I made some guesses and determined where I think the photo at the bottom was taken.

The church is in the town of Gela, Italy. The church still looks about the same, but the building to the left has seen some changes.

“Stored in a garage in the Colorado Mountains since 1982, this jeep was recently pulled out and revived. It shows just 17,557 miles on it. It runs remarkably well, starts easily, and has no visible smoke whatsoever.
It has a new fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel line, and rebuilt the carburetor. It got a major tune up, oil change and a new battery. All of the wheel cylinders were replaced, new brake shoes and a new master cylinder.
The dry climate in Colorado has preserved the body. There is a crack in the RR fender near the spare tire mount that is showing minor rust. The tub and floors are very good, but the floor supports are rusting and need replacing. (Easy to do and not expensive)
The seats and interior are in very good condition.
The tires are dry cracked and need to be replaced. Right windshield is cracked.”

“1952 Willys M38A1 4X4
This is a true military Jeep.

It starts, runs, shifts, drives, and stops as it should. It starts easy enough with pre pumping the gas, and using the manual choke. It runs good. I haven’t noticed any problems with the 3 speed manual transmission or transfer case. I don’t think it has brake lights or turn signals. Some original equipment exists like the light switch panel but I don’t think any work. The headlights and taillights function at some level, they do turn on.

Some of the electrical system has been converted to 12v from typical military 48v, battery, alternator, starter, headlights. The oil volt and temp gauges function. Not the fuel tho, my granddad used a paint stir stick on his so… The brakes are typical for non-power front drum setups. They could use an inspection but operate.
