It's obvious. I really have a problem....

It appears to be. I have to spend a little more time sifting through it though.

What a load of verrrrrry cool stuff!!

[Ryan_M]

More non-Willis stuff but pretty cool ether way. This is Warranty Claim I found stuffed in a box. Hand written in pencil and dated 5/22/53 for a '53 Nash Ambassador with 24(!) miles. Looks like the Carter Carb was having issues and was replaced.

Cool!!!!

Sand holes in bowl? They should've sent it to Scoutpilot! Lol!

After going through the garage at Bastogne Barracks, I'm wicked jealous of all of your old wooden boxes. Although most of their vehicles are drivable, they don't have opportunities to drive them all. They have made them into awesome motor pool-esque displays...with lots of boxes around them! If I'm ever in your neck of the woods, I'm buying all of those axle and transmissions boxes from you!

I'm going to start making some and do the same...if I ever get my garage built. It's only been a year since that carrot was dangled.

It's funny how many inquiries I get on various eBay listings from people who don't want what I'm selling but want to buy the crates instead. No dice. I'm keeping them all. MUAHAAHAHAHAHAA!!

And you're talking about being jealous?? I don't think there's a member on this forum that wouldn't have loved to just stow away in your carry-on bag for the trip you just took. Awesome stuff!

The Willys Hotline sent me deep into the Northlands today. Good thing I wore my pack boots. While I did not bring this home I am close to a deal. Early 3A. Very rough but nearly complete. No matter how this plays out this poor Jeep is snowbound until spring

















I also happened to fall down a rabbit hole and find this place today. An enchanted forest full of cars from the '30's on up. Probably 100 or more. One of the most surreal places I've visted yet. I'm not sure what's going to happen with them but am glad scrap prices are really low right now...

[Deleted]

There's something about a place like that which makes bad things enter my mind. As soon as you feel sorry for them, or a familiar kinship, like with a 3A, you're screwed. Better plow a spot for him---------LOL.

That junkyard is majestic. I didn't think those sorts of places existed anymore. You totally need to go back to that Mad Hatter Tea Party when the snows are gone.

I love the looks of some of those rides.

Those pics scare the sh!t out'a me. Fuzzy dream or nitemare cold sweats are sure to follow.

It amazes me how much stuff is up in Maine. I think that's where all jeeps go. There's more in those pics than I have seen in the Lowcountry ever.

[gbenoit]

Great pictures! Lots of stories there!!

[quebecjeep]

Mouhahahahahahahahah! Guy's! Ryan is fooling you by posting pictures of his own place.....Don't you think with all the time he spend hauling stuff his backyards look different?!? Lol!

[Deleted]

F'n-A Pascal You nailed it!

[Ryan_M]

No snow in our yard so I thought I'd be safe going to retrieve that 3A I posted about earlier. No good. It's still stuck firmly in a glacier. Oscar did help me "field strip" some of the low hanging fruit so it was a somewhat productive trip. We'll return for the carcass in the spring.







And like a moth to a porch light I got sucked back in to Harbor Freight yesterday for a few upgrades for The Hauler. New storage box and winch. If this actually works it'll beat the heck out of the come-a-long it's replacing...

This may be your platform for a Kubota Willys. The disease continues.

I'm intentionally avoiding your Evanston thread for fear I'll soon start scanning Craigslist for a cast-off diesel motor.....

Wait until you see the captain's project. You'll sooner or later succumb. A person needs a arsenal of different types to satisfy. Nah, never. Oilly

[Ryan_M]

Destroyed. I figured my welds or the cable would fail before the entire thing blew in half. Good thing there was still 89 days and 1 hour left on my 90 Day Warranty.

Wow, the Chi-Coms are the Murphys of manufacturing.

Danm! What did you try to load? A D6 Cat?

No but close. Trying to pull the second story off a large shed that I am trying to relocate to my house. Way more than the winch was designed for. I'm not surprised it failed I'm just surprised it failed in the extravagant way that it did.
