seen on the 163 when heading to Comic Con

 

using a really old jeep body as a bar back in your mancave... is pretty cool

1952 Willys-Overland M38A1 has a odd notch on the top of the rear 1/4 panel

a couple months ago I posted one I found on a walk,  https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2026/02/its-rained-lot-lately-and-this-jeep-has.html#comment-form

it's a notch for a soft top frame

Best condition I've seen a Mitsu 3000 in yet

a 69 Jeep Commando racing in the Baja 1000, taking 2nd place in it's class (Pioneer 4x4)

there came a moment when to fix the rear axle, in Le Paz, without a full garage that specializes in gears and axles, they made do with this bottle jack and chain. It got the axle straightened out

pretty weird to see a spare wheel rim, without the tire. Ironically feet away from an advertisement about a mobile mechanic

not photoshopped, no one would ever put a WW2 Jeep in a photo at a race track!

it's rained a lot lately... and this Jeep has no floor drains! Damn!

 

this photo impresses the hell out of me, I wish it was a wall sized poster/wall paper. That ratio of plane to jeep is stunning. The Convair Pogo

1969 Datsun 521 (Thank you PonchoTrain Sailor!)

proof that stupid people are everywhere, this happened in the UK, at Kent beach... and they had to drive through off limits and dunes to get out there in the ocean... to get rid of a stolen Suv?

I guess I never did a post on the history of the Zamboni

The Imperial War Museum has a strange way to display a Land Rover?

 

I obviously didn't look too close, and though it was a Jeep

just the right ticket to fun, in sand or snow (see how I didn't complete the obvious rhyme? You're welcome!)

such a good looking truck

I just learned the origin of the Land Cruiser was the same as the Range Rover... the WW2 Jeep

After the war, the Jeep lived on in Japan in two different forms. 

In the early ‘50s, Toyota produced a version called the Jeep BJ with the intention of selling it to the US military then embroiled in the Korean War. Instead, Toyota ended up selling it to the Japanese National Police Agency thanks to a stunt that involved driving a BJ up Mt. Fuji. 

In an effort to differentiate their Jeep, it was later renamed “Land Cruiser,” which soon became its own line of original, Japanese-designed off-road vehicles. 

The Land Cruiser would also become the first major overseas sales success for Toyota, despite only selling exactly one of them during their first year of operation in the United States.

eye catching colors in the Mopar booth (and FINALLY a 2 door Charger, about damn time)

I love that they went 80s, and took it far enough to get an 80s car phone
