1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A
The Willys-Jeep CJ2A and attached plow proved very versatile in 2003's big snowstorms. But wouldn't start for The Blizzard of 2005 and that left us shoveling the 6-foot snowbanks by hand. The Jeep is back running now with a new exhaust and tune-up. I used it in the first big snowstorm of the 2005-06 season (6 inches) and it worked perfectly.
November, 2006 -- with a baby on the way and the Mercedes project taking up half the garage, the Jeep had to go. It was towed to my dad's house in Salem where it will be used and stored. The generator isn't functioning so it needs a jump start. Otherwise it runs perfectly and the brakes even have a firm pedal.

2019. Moving under its own power for the first time in seven years. It was quite a few steps to get to this point: fuel tank leaks, fuel line, fuel pump sorting, carburetor tear down, throttle linkage adjustment, brake adjustment, and multiple dead batteries. It moves but has no brakes still.
