Really love this old Jeep!

Loaded up the Willys and took it to the body shop this weekend. Hopefully, paint will be applied soon!

Those tires are available online. They are 7.50 x 16 military NDT tires. NDT = Non-Directional Tread.

My CJ-2A is nearly all original. It has the original 4 cylinder flat head. A military Jeep 3 speed transmission and transfer case were installed sometime in it's past. The 6 volt electrical system was changed to a 12 volt set-up. I am really happy with the way this little vehicle has turned out. It is a real blast to drive!
Can't wait to see it painted!
