“Our mission is to find and preserve vintage Jeeps in their original form for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.”
The Jeep Guy is a local custom Jeep shop in Utah that started in our small home garage in 2012. It was brought to life with our family’s passion and love for Jeeps and Jeeping. Over the past 15 years, we have rescued and preserved jeeps to keep them in their original form and bring the ones that need it back up to running condition. Today, we have more than 50 vintage to new Jeeps, from a 1941 MB all the way to modern and highly modified 392 Wrangler and Gladiator. Most of these iconic vehicles are prominently displayed at The Jeep Guy Museum.
Zach Harkness (aka “The Jeep Guy”) has been building jeeps for almost 3 decades now. He was born and raised in Salt Lake and has been wheeling/offroading his whole life living in the beautiful Utah landscape. From racing motocross, to leisurely riding his dirt bikes through the desert, going Jeeping to explore old mines and ghost towns, or wheeling Jeeps on trails and tackling obstacles. He has owned nearly every Jeep ever made throughout his life and has a crazy passion to rescue and preserve at least one original example of each Jeep. His amazing skills and experience in Jeeping, and knowledge and passion about jeeps, made him a respected and admired Jeeper in the Jeep community in Utah and surrounding states.
Our family is always on the lookout for models or years we don’t yet have, aiming to preserve as many jeeps in their original form as possible. Our rescue missions to acquire these Jeeps are often adventurous family road trips filled with memorable stories from previous owners and exploring new places.

I’m very glad to learn of this “Jeep Guy Museum in Utah”. In my younger years I restored my 1943 WWII MB and I still have a 1942 WWII Ford GPW, and also a WWII Jeep Trailer. I also have a few other parts and a couple of engines in crates. I was alive during WWII and before we had nice 4WD farm and ranch tractors, we used surplus WWII Jeeps on the ranch in Montana to help do chores in tough places. Congrats on your new Museum.
My wife and I want to set up a Museum in Logan, UT for my decades of collecting, WWII Army Air Force items, antique Western firearms and WWII firearms, WWII posters, Indian Wars U.S. Calvary stuff, including saddles and uniforms, and Denver & Rio Grande Railroad (narrow gauge) stuff, Buffalo Bill Cody, whom my late grandfather worked for in his Wild West Shows, and I could go on. But we want a establish a significant museum up here in Cache Valley too.
Best wishes and keep it up.
