Great walk around, like the custom spring plates, and skid plates. I need to do this on my 46 cj-2a, which is mostly stock also. One difference is my engine is a gpw, went through it last winter and have put 2,500 miles on it this year. Body work, well don't look to close, and painted with rattle can's from Walmart. See a picture of mine inside front cover Kaiser Willys 2020 catalog, third row, second picture with grandson leaning on spare. You are right they are fun to drive and ride, it only takes a little while to catch the bug. Thanks again

Dear Mr. Stan Fuller, my name is: Carlos Valero, I am writing to you from Venezuela, South America, since I was little I have felt great admiration for Jeep's, especially military models, the second vehicle that my grandfather bought was a 1948 Jeep just like yours, of which I have several retrators where my mother and grandmother appear, then my grandfather bought a Willys 1957 SW pickup with a Super Huirricane 226 luxury edition engine which I inherited when he passed away and which I kept for more than 10 years using it all days to go to work and I sold it later because it was very difficult for me to get spare parts for that particular engine. Then I bought other Jeep's, currently I made a dream of my children come true and a year ago I bought a Willys M38A1 from 1961 which was in service in the US Army and Venezuela was decommissioned and came into my hands, it is quite original, It's missing some decorative accessories like the outer gas can and the blackout light that goes on the front fender, both of which I'm looking for in old car lots. I want to congratulate you because of all the drivers you are the best, I am very impressed by everything you do with an original Jeep without accessories, it is incredible how it climbs rocks and passes over the mud and sand as if it were floating in the air, it shows At first glance, the experience you have at the wheel, I really enjoy your videos, I would love to send you some photos of my jeep. this is my email: aquiles537@gmail.com

I really enjoyed this, Stan. I've also got a '48 and it's so cool to get a tour of very familiar territory. Decay has happened in different places and there are different sets of minor mods, but things between our 2 jeeps are very similar. Yours has a nice coating of Utah red dust, where I would have central New York mud. I remember when my dad brought it home in about '68, so it's got a nice long streak going in the family. Once I got it from my dad after he couldn't work on it anymore, I kept in in the barn for about 20 years. My regular jeep is a '65 CJ5, but I've just moved the 2A into my shed where I can work on it about a month ago, so it's really fun to be back working on it. I commuted with it when I was 20 (I'm a 60 something) about 15 miles each way. I've also got a picture of me as a teenager driving it up some steep slope and having fun. I just bought a new 6v battery from NAPA a week ago, have a new fan belt ordered, and my son has the carb to rebuild it here in the next couple of days. I put a little bit of diesel in each of the cylinders to help loosen the rings. The last time I tried to start it maybe a decade ago I wasn't getting good compression, so hopefully the diesel will loosen rings that might be sticky. Once it's running, which I'm hoping will be in the next couple of weeks, things should smooth out, and any sticky valves will get used to moving and sealing again. It had a 'Hi-Lo Jeep' hydraulic pump under the hood for a snowplow which I just took out. I also took that identical pump out of the '65. Those things take up lots of room in the engine compartment, and generally make a mess. It's great having that thing out of there. I'm now cleaning up the underside of caked-on grease, oil, and dirt. There's a lot of it and most of it has been on there for a half century. Anyway, thanks for posting this terrific tour of the 2A.

Thanks for the walk around. As others have already said - Love the extra skid plates! Even here in Michigan, I may add some of these. We don't have the rocks you've got, but that just means the ones we do have "surprise" you more often. Having watched the Jeep in action, I guess I'm adding Lock-Rite differentials. Have kicked around which one to use for a long time, yours looks like it works the way I want to use it. Four wheel drive isn't four wheel drive until you lock up the differentials. I've had and driven Jeep, mostly old, for a long time. Finishing up my most recent (and likely final) project soon. Your final comment is great! Back roads, dirt roads and two-tracks here I come! Thanks again, keep posting those videos! They cover a lot of ground - A relative from France forwarded one to me, asking if my Jeep could negotiate the same terrain. I had to admit that I doubted I could. Not with open differentials anyway.

I recently buyed a Willys after I saw a lots of "Grampa's Jeeps" wheeling... I always loves the simple and small of the Willys, and these videos push me to have a Willys for that: for enjoying. I do like the original and collectionable Willys, but I love ride cars, and I wouldn't like to scrach a nice paint. So, I buyed not a perfect Willys: I buyed a Willys that I hope I will enjoy wheeling and asking 100% of he could do (of course, maintaining well the mechanics for avoding any bad experience at the middle of somewhere). I understand and I agree every single word you said. Thanks for this and for any single video of your Grampa's Jeep wheeling! BR, from Argentina.
