Zack's DJ-5: His Daily Driver

Zack has been a regular reader of eWillys for a while now. Though he comments occasionally, I never got around to asking what kind of jeep he has. So, I asked. Turns out he has two: One a DJ-5 that he uses as a daily driver and the other a nice looking GPW that he hopes to restore to military spec. Here are some photos he sent for us. All in all, it is a good looking DJ-5 that is a very practical vehicle, inexpensive to maintain, cheap on gas, and posi in the rear for bad weather. Thanks for sharing Zack!

Should have seen what it looked like before. ( I have a pisture somewhere? ) There are 2 more DJ-5D's ( were 3 :) ) in Kake Alaska, not too far from the Ferry terminal. They are just sitting there, I am sure the owner would sell them. If I remember correctly, one is late 60's and the other is early 70's. I may still have the owner's phone number?
