My parents purchased a surplus GPW in 1963 for $500 and decided to take the jeep to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in 1965. At that time the paved road stopped outside of Mazatlan so they towed the jeep there and then proceeded on. There is a large river (Ameca) just before PV that you had to cross, a bridge was not completed until 1966. The following sequence is a tribute to my parents zest for life and spirit of adventure.

Every 6 to 12 months I like to ask readers this question in an effort to keep improving the blog. I don’t like to lead such discussions too deliberately – but find that the discussion is better if I give a few general questions to stimulate the conversation. So here are some areas you might like to comment on:

Topics– are there topics (specific or general) you’d like covered in the coming months? Do we cover enough vintage military vehicles for you? Do you want more vintage off road racing photos? More fire trucks? How about more early Bronco’s?

Types of Posts – event coverage, vehicle restorations, history articles, vintage 4×4′s for sale, tech articles…. have your say about what you’d like most/least.

Posting Frequency – too many posts, not enough, just right?

Design – we are just weeks from launching a complete redesign – so your comments and ideas would be helpful at this point

Blog Features – what would make your reader experience better?

Community – do you feel you connect well with other readers? Are there features that you’d like added to help connect more?

Other Ideas and Feedback – anything goes, big or little.

What Frustrates you about Off Road Action? What is Best about it?

The ‘Rules’ – Any feedback, suggestions, dreams or ideas that you have are welcome. While I can’t promise to respond to each comment or put every suggestion into place I make a commitment to you to read anything you have to say.

All that I ask in return is that you be honest, courteous and constructive with your feedback.

Off Road Action is a project that I pour a lot of time and effort into – as a result sometimes criticism can be a little difficult to hear – however I think it’s vital to take it all on board if this is to continue to be a valuable resource for vintage 4×4 enthusiasts.

So it’s over to you. Feel free to either leave your feedback in comments below or to share them privately with me via my Contact Page.

1946 Willys CJ2A in original almost rustfree condition, there is slight surface rust on the under body and one spot of rust on a hat channel at one of the mounting bolts. The inner windshield has rust around the glass area and probably could be replaced. The body itself has normal farm use dents and dings but nothing serious and would be a easy restoration, the area around the side holes are probably the worst they had a rubber cover bolted to both of them see picture, I have had it about 20 years and enjoyed it as is. Mechanically it runs great and everything works, including the originak key coil switch, has normal leaks at some of the seals. The brake lines wheel cylinders and master cylinder have all been replaced. The seats have powder coated frames and replacement cushions covered with vynil, the rear seat is a reproduction. Original seat pans springs and coverings go with the Willys. Wheels are powder coated with white vynil strpes and almost new non directional tires. I believe the Willys a has about 29,000 miles as it has on the speedometer. The wireharness could stand replacing, horn button doesn’t work but the horn does, windshied glass is a litttle scratched. The Willys comes with a complete Monroe three point hitch with a motor mounted hydraulic pump not installed.PTO with rear gear box and farm belt pulley and governor,V belt pulley for generator or welder, belt driven buss saw I believe it’s a Newgren. Front bumper weight, complete operational Linkbelt capstan winch with most original parts, rope roller assy is a reproduction and winch drive bracket is fabricated from steel and works well. Also has original owners manual, chaff screen, and two piece crank handle and complete set of top bows.
