Salt Lake Off-Road and Outdoor Expo 2025

Ran across this event, 10th annual Salt Lake Off-Road and Outdoor Expo. Might be some Willys stuff here.
Feb 28th – March 1st
Volunteer opportunities are available.
It was posted on OWF as a cross post from ECJ5 about Novaks NovaDrive unit will be on display. It’s an overdrive for select transmissions, don’t have a ton of info on it, but seems like a coming soon deal.
But Novak is a great vendor to our Willys community providing some really slick transmission and powertrain swap products. They also have a great research area and library of information on all sorts of stuff.
No skin in the game here for eWillys, not associated with the event just sharing what looks to be a quality event if your in the Salt Lake area looking for something to do maybe check it out.
On the Heap for A Jeep @ The Missouri Archives
February 17, 2025 • CATEGORIES: Features, Library Collections, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
While doing some book research, I ran across the Missouri Historical Society’s online archives, which includes some images of jeeps, mostly photos of jeeps at schools, probably related to bond drives. It may be of use for folks looking for military era jeep photos. https://mohistory.org/collections?text=jeep&images=0
There are also a few pre-war Willys-Overland and John North images: https://mohistory.org/collections?text=willys-overland&images=0
I thought the below photo is neat, as it is a reminder that there was a big push to recycle metals (along with other materials).
According to the sign:
The Beauty Industry Helps Beat The Beasts
Throw It On The Heap
It Will Help Build A Jeep
