Supporting anything pre-war or even a little after is more than I care to get into.

Patching and bubble-gumming my 65 Jeep is enough. Willys did an excellent job of making their Jeeps very future unfriendly.

One of the next jobs I have slated is replacing the windshield frame and upgrading to an electric motor.

I couldn’t get the old upper hinges out of the rusted frame after a couple hours of working with them.

I’m looking at about $450 from Amazon which usually has the best deals.

Over T-day weekend I am hoping to yank the steering box and rebuild it. I finally have all of the pricey parts in.

Jeep stuff is high and there seems to be a premium for Willys.

You’re going to convert your Willys into an EV, or am I misunderstanding?
