A Hooniverse staff member noticed this Willys Jeep Truck outside of a hotel one day. Loving the patina, but I am wondering if it is really abandoned. Those tires are in great shape. Via Hooniverse…

Expedition Portal is one of my favourite websites. While I love off road racing, sometimes it is just nice to get into the outback and enjoy nature with friends and family. Expedition Portal is a great website that is based on a group of individuals from around the world that love to explore in their 4×4’s and on their motorbikes. Some of the members are travelling the world on a two year expedition, while others are trying to explore their local mountains with their family whenever possible. One thing they all share is a love for the outdoors and their vehicles of choice.



Recently, I posted a message in the forum about the recent camperized Ford Bronco articles we published here , here and here. Unknown to me, Four Wheel Campers is a member of the forum and Stan responded with some info about the FW campers used on Broncos, Blazers, and International Scouts. Basicly, Stan mentioned that they are no longer manufacturing the campers (which I knew) and that they would not build a custom one. It turns out that it is just not profitable for them. I can understand not manufacturing them if they do not make money like their current models do. It is too bad. I think it was a great concept!

Make sure to check out the photos on the > Four Wheel Camper website as well as some from this post on Classic Broncos.com Lets hear some of your comments!

Here is another interesting article that I came across the other day. A collection of 4 photos of Jeeps desert racing in the late 60’s and early 70’s. The article was printed in JP magazine, but is available online HERE.

Reid Norden, shared the photos with JP magazine. The photos were taken of his dad, Orrin, back when he raced Jeeps for Brian Chuchua’s Jeep in the late ’60s and early ’70s. Anyone have any good photos or stories about Chuchua and his racing Jeeps?

I have come across what I think is the best T-90 transmission rebuild article that I have seen. The article is written by Rick Stivers, but features a lot of input from other willys owners.

Tamiya recently commissioned a life size replica of their famous Sand Scorcher remote control Baja Bug that they sold over 20 years ago. The 1:1 replica has been built to celebrate the release of the new updated version of the famous Sand Scorcher. Make sure to check out the vintage 80’s RC videos below. If you are reading this via email or Facebook, you may have to go to the main website to view them. Via…

Talk about a load on this Willys Jeep! Via…

After reading our previous article about Ford Bronco Campers, Nick Menudier sent in photos of his own camperized Bronco. Nick owns Nicks Trix , which is a early Ford Bronco specialty shop. Not only do they manufacture a number of Bronco specialty parts, but they also perform full restorations. Our original article also sparked some interest on Classic Broncos .

A while ago, I came across some old Jeep CJ-5 race photos from the early 70’s on Flickr. I contacted the owner of the photos and asked for permission to use the photos in an article. Tom said go for it, but in the mean time I am going to show you some 70’s photos of his Jeep pickup. Check out his Flickr page for more interesting 60’s & 70’s photos.

I recently came across this website that covers the Willys CJ-3A. The interesting site has all kinds of technical articles, a message board, history articles, and tons of useful information and photos. Check out CJ3A.com . Great Job!

I really have to apologize to our readers. We are finally back online after being offline for over 2 weeks. Again, we are sorry for the interruption, but we are promising to become bigger and better! There may be a few glitches over the next few hours, but they will all be worked out shortly.
