Jim, What a great story, and great looking Willys, I have a 46 that I need to get busy on it, was a one owner that my old friend who has passed years ago sold it new. It’s been barn kept and is in very good shape.
Enjoy driving your Willys. Doug

I like the Jeep and it appears you did a great job on it. But I love the scenic backdrop where you photographed it. Utah? Colorado? Monument Valley?

Good day Jim. I really like your Jeep story. Beautifull Jeep and some of the pictures even look like parts of South Africa where I live. I am busy with a CJ5 frame up restoration. Enjoy the Jeep and the farm.
