"Super Rare, Jeep CJ-6 with strong running F-134 Four Cylinder Hurricane Engine that looks and runs like it's been rebuilt. Smooth Shifting 3 Speed Manual Transmission. Rare 60/40 Split Folding Bench Seat up Front, also includes Factory Rear Passenger Bench Seat.

4x4 Works Perfectly, EZ lock hubs, all gauges and lights work as they should. Recent brakes all around, freshly tuned and ready to go! Brand New old school Firestone Knobby Tires and Brand new original style Steel rims, period correct! New Carb, New Fuel Tank and sending unit, also includes original Carter YF Carb. New Bimini Top still in box Included just not installed yet. Also includes an original dash board that is uncut. There is zero rust or cancer on this almost 60 year old gem! This is a great running 100% Original CJ6, same as a CJ5 but they extended it 20 inches at the factory. Pre-cursor to the 70's scrambler... Gives it a much smoother ride and allows more cargo capacity. Perfect Candidate for a full restoration, or just drive it and enjoy it like it is. Gets thumbs up and smiles everywhere it goes!

Daily driver, never gets hot, starts every time, turn the key and go! Currently registered until December 2016, Pink in my name!

Please no scammers, low ballers, or CL time wasters! Make me a reasonable offer the worst I'll say is no thanks."

"1946 cj2a VIN 54883.
It is time to liquidate some assets so my wife of almost 50 years can take a trip back to her native Korea Possibly for the last time. So I thought it would be fitting that " The other woman " name of the jeep .. should be the asset to liquidate. She ( the jeep ) is located in West Michigan, and can be delivered by me..on a trailer for a fee. As we all know ...there is MUCH more invested in Resto/Mod than we will ever re coupe... but the ability to work on this old girl was well worth it. She spent 2 winters in a Chrysler/Jeep dealership show room. and in covered storage to date ( started up on a monthly basis ) You will note this baby has two option not seen very often.. Dual wheels AND extended cargo area ( Both options offered for farm use in the late 1940s ) see pictures here. https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=CC846636913B7D9D&id=CC846636913B7D9D%21426
Well over 20k invested.. If you need more info just ask. It is always a sad day when we decide to part with a old friend. BTW the dates on the photos are NOT the correct date, I did not know how to change them.. these photos were taken in 2012 you may call,231 three four nine 6060 NLT 10 PM EST please . Thanks for looking and thinking about adding Just one more to you Collection."

I have many WWII Jeep parts ford GPW and Willys MB. I may be willing to sell some, but it would have to be the right offers. I build them for a living and know their values. I've sold and traded 1000s of parts over the last 15 years and have gained quite a bit of knowledge on the prices and values. The prices are going to be "I Don't want to sell it" prices for WWII stuff.

I have tons of random parts from big to small.

I also offer services: I rebuild the 134L or 134F Willys Jeep engines, the T90 transmissions, Dana 18 transfer cases, front and rear axles, full brake replacements, steering gear boxes and any parts.

I have restored many of these jeeps and have owned near 200 jeeps, meaning if you have any military truck or Jeep parts for trade I may be interested! I'm also interested in dodge Cummins trucks.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,500

(06/17/2014) "I have a 1954 M38A1 Military Jeep for sale. It has 20,000 original miles on it. I have gone through everything on the Jeep. I have owned it since 1986 but I don't get to use it much anymore so I decided to sell it instead of letting it sit, when someone else could be driving it and having a good time. Hot August Nights is just around the corner.

I painted it with the Military OD Green and stenciled it with Military markings (NOT DECALS) a few years ago. It has a Hurricane 4 cyl engine, standard 3 speed with high/low range with a 24 volt system. I had put a brand new 20,000 btu military heater (NOS), tires like new but not military. New upholstery, new brakes & master cylinders, wheel cylinders, U joints and seals all around and new windshield wiper motors. Transmission as good as new, does not slip out of gear. Transfer case works great in all gears. Great gas mileage and does not chimmy at any speed. Oil sender not working but is an easy fix. Military shovel under the hood, axe on the rear fender well. Just too much to list. If any parts are needed, they're usually found on Ebay.

NOT MILITARY: 
2 gun racks between the seats, double roll bar, but great to have. Tires are not military but at the time of my restoring this Jeep, I did not know where to find them. It has locking hubs so you don't have to run the front differential all the time. Canvas top is not military issue. 

If interested and have any questions please call or email me. Serious buyers only please. Will take a partial trade, looking for a 1997 or newer gas engine with automatic transmission, Dodge 2500 or 3500 or a Ford F250 or F350 4x4, crew cab or possibly extended cab, short bed pickup. No junk please."

Original Post September 17, 2018:

Hugo Vidal, that 85 year old intrepid traveler from Brazil (and founder of AVM) has published his book. I received a copy last week and tore right through it. It's written in both Portuguese and English. Since Ann and I traveled with Hugo and his son Fernando last year for four weeks, I knew most of the stories he included in his book. But, there were a few new ones and some fuller explanations on others. It's also full of photos, some I hadn't seen.

Most of the book centers on the 1956/1957 trip. But, there's a little bit at the end about the 2017 Alaska Or Rust adventure. And on that, I have a minor quibble. Hugo remembers me contacting him about joining us on the trip. Actually, it was Hugo who contacted me. His eagerness was infectious, as this email extract, the second email he wrote me, underscores:

".... Since we only heard about the Alaska or Rust caravan yesterday, my son and I rushed to try and find a way of joining in. But I understand now that participation is closed. Even though we don´t even have a vehicle yet, if there is a chance for a place in the waiting list we will somehow purchase, lease, borrow or steal one...."

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was on eBay.

(02/15/2013) This trailer setup looks good.

"Up for sale is my M416 military trailer that has been modified into a off-road camping/adventure trailer. This started off as a ¼ ton M416 surplus trailer. It was completely stripped down and sandblasted. The Axle was replaced with a 3500 lb unit with 6 lug bolt pattern for Toyota and Chevrolet. The frame was extended in the front for a cooler rack, and two military style gas can mounts ( gas cans will not be included). Trailer still maintains the military pintle hitch. Body had the floor cut out and replaced with heavier steel. A custom lid was made which opens using a modified tailgate latch and heavy duty lift struts. On top of the trailer sits a large Serengeti Rooftop tent.(http://campinglab.com/serengeti01.html)

Tent is very heavy duty and pops up from the folded position. Includes a king size mattress inside. Tent comfortably sleeps 3-4 adults. Tent is in excellent shape, no rips or tears. Trailer s currently rolling on Toyota 17inch steelies with 255/55/17 BF Goodrich mud terrain tires with decent tread. Custom fenders styled off the originals were made to accommodate the larger tires. Trailer Lighting is with LEDs in the rear. There is a Pioneer tool rack on the back and a trailer receiver which can be used for a bike rack or other accessory. Trailer will also come with 3 unused 5 gallon military scepter water cans. Trailer has been painted using Sherwin Wiliams Sher-Kem paint and a bedliner paint kit will also be included for the interior( never got around to coating it, however it is painted.)

Trailer is currently registered in Florida as a homemade trailer and title/registration is in hand. Tows very well and probably weighs approximately 900lbs unloaded. This was a very fun project that went on a 3K mile road trip from South Florida up the Blue Ridge Parkway with absolutely no problems. It was used as a base camp for my hunting lease and garaged during the off season. I towed it using a Toyota 4runner with no problem at all.

I will include the heavy duty pintle hitch mount, and three unused water cans. (THE GREEN FUEL CANS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE AUCTION!!)"

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This was made from 2 CJ-5s.  The seller provides a variety links and pictures for this neat project.

"This auction is for a custom four door CJ.  The Jeep was built using all CJ5 parts.  The front door is modeled off of a CJ7.  The rear door is modeled off of a CJ5.  The bed is extended to the length of a CJ6 or CJ8 Scrambler.  The frame is stretched 36 inches in the middle and 14 inches behind the rear axle.  The frame was boxed from the front to to the rear spring perches.  It has Dana 30 and Dana 40 axles both are open diffs.  The transfer case is a Dana 20.  The transmission is a 3 speed.  I believe it is a T150.  The engine is an AMC 360 from a 1972 Wagoneer.  It was rebuilt about 15,000 miles ago.  It was bored over.  The crank was turned.  It got all new bearings, new pistons, new valve guides, and hardened seats.  It has an RV cam, an Edelbrock SP2P low rise dual plane intake, and a Holley Street Avenger 570cfm carb.  The motor has more than enough power for a vehicle this size.  I drove it about a month on the new motor when I broke the input shaft on the old transmission.  I then put the heaviest spring in the secondaries of the carb and backed up the timing a little bit to take some of the grunt out of the motor.  The Jeep was built in 2009.  It got all new floors.  There is no rust in the body or frame.  The color is Rescue Green from a 2008-2009 Wrangler.  The seats are new from Bestop.  The seat belts were new in 2009.  It has a super thick aluminum radiator, power steering, and front disk brakes.  It has a 20 gallon gas tank from an 86 CJ7.  The tires are 33 10.50 15 BFG Mud T/A KM2.  The fronts have about 5k miles on them and the rears are new.  I have no idea how many miles are on the Jeep.  It has about 15k since built.  Almost everything was replaced at that time.  The tub and bed have bedliner throughout.  It looks funny in the pictures, because it is a little wet from washing the Jeep.  The leaf springs were upgraded to the wider springs from a 76 model CJ7.  It has front sway bar mounts on the frame, and I have a sway bar for it.  It will need new rod ends and bushings if you plan to install it.  I will also include the stock front bumper if you want it.  You can see pictures of it on the link below.

This Jeep was my daily driver for almost 3 years.  It draws a crowd everywhere you go.  You can't buy gas or go into Home Depot without someone stopping you to talk about it.  Since it was my daily driver, it has all of the scratches and dings you would expect of a truck used for that period of time.  It runs and drives good.  The four wheel drive works fine.  Since I had to rely on this as my driver, It hasn't been thrashed off road since built.  The four wheel drive has been used in the snow, pulling trailers out of the muddy pasture, and around the deer lease.

Negative issues:  This is no trailer queen, so it has normal dings and rock chips and scratches that you would expect from a driver.  There is one good dent in the left rear fender well.  I included a picture of it.  The speedometer doesn't work.  The gas gauge half ass works half the time.  The gauge is new, it needs a sender.  While you are replacing the sender, you could replace the oring on it that leaks gas if you overfill it.  The oil gauge works, but is falling apart.  It needs a new horn switch.  You have to hit just the right spot to make it honk.  If you romp on it in reverse, it will pop out of gear.  Driving sensibly prevents it from happening.  The transfer case shifter needs new bushings, but it shifts fine for me, so I don't worry about it.  It has a top and doors that need recovering.  I don't have any pictures of it, but you can see it in the snow video below.
