This my 1946 CJ2A, a real classic that is driven all around the farm nearly every day by my nieces and everyone else. She gets regular oil and filter changes as well every grease fitting lubed and gear boxes drained and refilled after going through water. The ol flathead fires right up and purs like a kitten. Please check my other Jeeps in the Station Wagon and CJ5 sections. Happy Jeepin. <br/ ><br> Tom Lanigan Keysville, Virginia

About 1950 my Dad had bought some property in 29 Palms, California. He loved going to the desert. We started going up on the weekends to work on the cabin he was building. He needed a 4 wheel drive vehicle so he could hook up the trailer and haul lumber, etc., so he went to an auction and bought a 1946 CJ2A Willys Jeep…just what he needed. We took it home and started cleaning it up and we lifted up the old rag top and there written in white paint on the rear fender was the name “TOMYBIL”, which happens to be my name (THOMAS WILLIAM) - the jeep worked out just great. In about 1976 my Dad gave me “TOMYBIL” and I was thrilled to get it. I had it painted, a new rag top made, and I got a license plate that reads TOMYBIL. Let\'s fast forward…I lost interest in the jeep and it sat in my backyard for about 5 years just deteriorating. Well, my wife began to ride me big time about the jeep sitting in the yard, saying “you need to sell it’. That was my wakeup call! My interest came back quickly and it has been my main hobby ever since. I had it repainted and replaced the engine, got new brakes, worked on the transmission, and gave it new tires and wheels. These pictures show where we are now. The jeep has been in our family for over 60 years.

Pics of my recently restored 47 CJ-2A. My son and I restored it over the last 3 years. Just have to change the numbers on the bumper. We used to have an M-38 windshield on it and now we have the MB windshield. Drivetrain and all body panels are original except for the tailgate and windshield frame. Used YJ springs for a smoother ride and lift in order to fit the 7.5-16 NDT tires.

Wow! Great addition to the site… thank you. Sons and I working on a 48 CJ-2a and expect it will be a couple years more before we submit a pix. Just bought one of your new tubs for it… kinda’ embarrassed to be doing this but I worked on old body for quite a while but decided I wanted to get it done and on the road before my passing. I know some of you at least know what I am talking about… previous owner trashed the inside by (poorly) gas welding in a rube roll bar, and then the rust… oh, my. But it is ours, and I am still excited! Thanks for the parts and the help Kaiser Willys!

Hello every one it is great to see old jeeps still around I am 20 years old and I have a 1946 Willys CJ-2A that was givin to me by a man named Ron Frazer. He started restoring it, he got it running but still needed a lot of work. He stopped working on it because he got sick and it was stored under a barn for 8 years. Then I came along dating his daughter and now engaged. I started working on the jeep for Ron to drive so a couple months later he handed me the keys to the jeep and said it was yours. I said the jeep was ours to play with, one month later he passed away. I hope he is proud of what I’ve done. I wish he could be around to see it and to see his first grand child. RIP Ron Frazer.

R Lickert, those are to hold the top bows or poles when the top is off.
what in the world are the slots or tabs or pockets or holders or whatever they are on the left side designed to do, and hold?? the MB used different ones for the shovel and axe..but these baffle me?

Hello again Dan,
I just saw that yours was the photo album without a name, but I received your email reply… I would have posted it last Friday but I was out of the office (it was my birthday). I will get your album posted today and send you a link!

Hi Dan,
I usually post the new pics / albums on the Friday of the week during which they were submitted. Did you send photos? I had one email without a name…was that you?
How long does it take before pics are posted after they are emailed in?
Here’s a link to my jeep pic’s on photobucket. I’m not sure how to post them here to make them visible…
