1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A
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.

Undated photo but it may be from the early 1980s. The building next door was being demolished. Alfie was simply returning a stone that had found its way to our side of the property.

Early 1990s when both Jeeps literally sat in the brush. I think this is the other Jeep because it had this hard top and the front A-pillar looks like it has extra sheetmetal (for a door probably).

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.
2022. The January 29 blizzard brought about 2 feet of snow. I cleared with the snowblower but also employed the Jeep for some work. Temps were well below freezing so the plow hydraulics were slow. And the Jeep was overheating from lots of revs but low speed. But otherwise it worked like a champ!
