Our 1954 Willys CJ-3B was purchased by my father about 40 years ago. I learned many driving lessons behind the wheel of this Willys Jeep! There have been hundreds of trips (including in the winter with only a bikini top) over to the next town while courting my high school sweetheart, who is now my wife. A few years ago we set out to get it back to a good running condition. My father is now 77 and I have two young adult sons that really wanted and did help with the project.

Jon, your 3b photos are stunning. Fantastic story, way to keep her going to bring joy to your Dad and kids. A lot of history in that beauty. These are the good things in life, fun stuff. I have two 3b’s I need to submit a 53 3b and a 62 M606 Navy 3b. If you would like to stay in touch please visit my website (Gartforvets,org) and check out what I am doing across America.

It looks really nice now!
I don’t even have to imagine what you started with, the time involved, and most of all the vision that got it all started.
(They all laughed at me when I drug my $100 vision in on a trailer back in ’91)
Fix it immediatly if it breaks, it will be your buddy forever.

nice in order to renew top off to frame ?
I two have a cj3b rebuilt from frame off and completely rebuilt to orginal condition
It sure is nice to see that someone else is not afraid of the weather. I drove my V-6 CJ-2A in the winter without a top when the top was being repaired. You just wear a snowmobile suit and enjoy the great out-of-doors.
