My new, er old rockin' jeep

[H8PVMT]

Went to long beach this morning and look what followed me home for $3200. Runs great and is a blast to drive. It's a 1948 CJ-2A. I'm like a little kid at christmas!!!!




Even has the original 4 cylinder

Very cool. My first ride was a '52. Had a flat head 4 out of a '42 (I think), t-90, 700/16 tires, rode rough as hell, wouldn't get over about 35 mph, smoked like there was no tomorrow......damn I miss that thing!

Sully is a tad jealous. Looks like a ton of fun. I expect to see you at the next trail ride with the new jeep.

that thing is pretty cool. looks like it belongs in a parade

[GreenMachine]

definitely looks to be in good shape. sweet. very sweet indeed.

Yah, a parade, that's what I was thinking too! It'll be awesome for local cruises to the ice cream shop, let alone some of the scenic trails you have out that way. Congrats! Your Jeep Rocks!

[cbremer]

Your Jeeps Rock!

Fixed it for you Sarah

Nice find! Gotta love the fact that the predominantly warm dry air we get in these parts (southwest US) is so kind to cars- no salt on the roads, not much water falling from the sky... etc

Funny you should ask that. Within' 3 days of having it I have it down to the chassis and motor. Some rust to remove, but it won't be a total restore. Engine will stay but I am leaning towards a more modern looking military jeep.

I was gonna keep it on the roads but I am starting to lean towards wheelin' it. I guess I can't handle having a jeep that won't be taken offroad.
