I fired up the two CJ2A boyz this afternoon and sure hope Spring is soon to be a reality rather then a short tease here in the North Country of NY. It was very nice to hear the melodious sound of the "Go Devils" running in the yard for a bit.

Winter has not been that bad this year but winter is winter & I am over it & can't wait to begin WILLYS Play for the year. I was fortunate enough to score a beautiful REEDKINI top here on THE PAGE (thanks for backing off on that Dana). It was skilfully stitched together by none other than the world renowned Jpet and a wonderful top it is!



I also was fortunate enough to make some WILLYS parts trips recently and meet with some great fellow JEEP folks and picked up & swapped some great WILLYS treasures. Thanks guys for keeping the WILLYS JEEP History alive and working.

Thanks Gil.
The dual wheels have saved my arse in a few mucky spots on my property.
This is my "Gray Mule" in the muck before duals.

Nice pics!

I'm across the lake feeling your pain. 

Visited the land of sad and lonely toys myself the other day.

Spring? I'm still waiting for winter. It's unseasonably warm here in Tampa. This is prime working on the Willys time, but it's too hot to get greasy and dirty doing projects.

I know all of you in colder climes are saying 'boo hoo for you', but we never really got a winter here yet.

I have a friend living out side of Fort Myers and she complains about the heat and humidity there.
She grew up in New Orleans.
She misses Tucson.

Thanks!

I'm in Stowe. What year is the Jeepster? 

(Doh...I see in your signature it's a '50!)

You should come down to the Stowe Car show this summer. Would be awesome to add to the Willys crowd.

Hey Pete,
I guess my shed does resemble the bat cave if you turn your head sideways & squint real hard. I actually do have bats in there too!
Your mind works in mysterious ways! WILLYS folks tend to breath in a lot of fumes. I can only imagine what you see when you look at the clouds.

Is it snowing over your way this morning?

I was not happy to see the white stuff coming down again when I woke up.

Well, it is still winter, right? Confused
There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable
