Last time I posted a non Jeep photo I got barked at... two years ago. I’ll send it via PM. Until the Jeep goes in the garage you can’t get the fleet of grey in all one shot.

Too funny! I remember that.....
The day a couple of photos of a vintage F100 almost de-railed the entire web site. 8O I seem to recall it was me that led you astray. :lol:

Better not send a Bronco PM. It might shake the foundation again.

How about a YT video so we can all enjoy it?

I have YT lined up for this weekend. I haven’t had any days off like promised so it’s taking time to put together. Heck I was supposed to be off today and I’m going in for two meetings. Need to do evals on some folks leaving and finish award edit.
Hope to get to post office in there as well.

Hey! "Jeeps" include MB and GPWs! :-). But on this site it's all Willys.....
Would like to see the new Bronco as well but maybe post pictures in your album on the site here. Leaves out the discussion......

Electric or traditional fuel Bronco?

On the carb discussion, I have a 1942 GPW and the right carb for it, but the threads in the body that the fuel line threads into are stripped. What's the best long-term solution? Re-tap it or replace that part?

I'll be replacing the starter switch on my 1952 M38 this weekend as well and will check out how it's survived the Winter. My M38 is mostly stock and 24V.

Thanks!

The site is dedicated to the Willys/Kaiser built M series jeeps from 1950 thru 1972. We prefer it keep that focus. I'll post a quote of the Photo Gallery 16 year old rules:

Welcome to the photo gallery message thread.

If you are a member of willysmjeeps.com, then you can post a "New Topic" requesting a free personal photo gallery.

Photos posted on your gallery can be referenced to show up with your message posts similar to other online galleries.

The setup for a personal photo gallery is not automatic. An administrator will set one up for you upon reading your request. This process may take a day or two as we all have full time jobs and do most of the website work in the evenings.

If you have a problem using your photo gallery, please let us know by posting a "New Topic" on this message board.

Please do not post inappropriate material on your photo gallery and keep the file sizes to a maximum to 500KB and under. Also try to keep the number of files on your gallery to 20 or less.

This reduces our need for server space and thus keeps our costs down.


We appreciate your patience and hope that you enjoy the photo gallery option.

Yes other make vehicles are considered inappropriate.

Over the last 20 years I have observed many dedicated web sites deteriorate to a copy of a facebook chat page. We wish to keep our web site focused on what has already drawn us together and not on what can make this site die.
