At the Saturday night banquet, our guest speaker will be Jeff Nelson, creator and curator of the "When Wagoneers Roamed the Earth" display that garnered so much attention at the 2018 Toledo JeepFest. This year's tech presentation also promises something special too. Well known Willys Jeep collector and restoration expert, Joe Deyoung, will be demonstrating the rebuilding of a Borg-Warner T-90 transmission under the big tent. We will not only be raffling off the transmission that he rebuilds, but we will also be raffling off two chances for you to bring your own T-90 and work alongside Joe and other volunteers to rebuild your transmission — with a master kit provided by the Willys Reunion. The teardown of the transmissions will take place on Friday and the reassembly will be on Saturday. Of course, like last year, we will host a drive/caravan and a picnic on Friday night. On Saturday there will be a lunch stand set up in the vehicle display area. This is one show you really do not want to miss. SPECIAL EVENT: We will be re-building a complete Borg-Warner T-90 3-spd Transmission onsite. After completion, the T-90 will be raffled off during the banquet on Saturday night. In addition, 2 tickets will be drawn and the winners can rebuild their (owner supplied T-90) at the same time with expert guidance and a Willys Reunion supplied Master rebuild kit. We do ask that you attend Friday to clean and prep your transmission or have it done and ready before you arrive. ------------- Art C Willys Reunion Staff - (Web Administrator) http://willysreunion.com/" rel="nofollow - http://willysreunion.com/ |

Thanks Art . . calendar marked . . vacation blocked off at work . . looking forward to it !!! I have a question on the 2 "owner rebuilt" T-90's. Is that a separate raffle ticket? or will those 2 tickets be chosen from the main raffle of the Joe-built one? (seems like it would be a smaller subset of main-ticket buyers who would -> have a core, and be in attendance) I would be thrilled to win either one, for my '51 '3A project.  Love the Wagoneer theme this year! . . one of my favorite previous Jeeps was a '77 Cherokee. That Cherokee trailered my '46 to many Jeep Jamborees and other events. :-)

I agree, great idea! . . even wondering -> if I don't win*, can I bring my T-90, a workbench, tools, and a kit . . to follow along with the experts? haha * I will definitely buy some tickets to help fund the event, but I usually am not very lucky in raffles.

Hi all, Anyone who is interested in doing some wheeling on that Thursday the 16th, Bob Evans has invited us to wheel at Down on the Farm Off-road Park .  . It’s a couple few hours away from the reunion but it is worth it. Stay tuned here for details as we get closer to May. If you want to ride along, let us know here or on the Facebook page and we will squeeze you in. I have an open seat. Thanks Bob for doing this  Last year’s fun: ------------- CJ2A #29110 "General Willys" MB #204827 "BAM BAM" "We do what we can, and we try what we can't" |

Jeepfever, you brought up something I was thinking about last night. We had thought these were the same tickets for the rebuild opportunity and the raffle of the transmission, but now I'm thinking they should be different tickets because not everyone who buys a ticket with the intention of winning the transmission could be available to bring one to tear down and rebuild. As people buy tickets, I will make sure I know which ticket they are buying. I was also thinking of a deadline to draw the two winning tickets for the transmission teardown should be MAY 1, 2019, that way the winners will have a couple weeks to secure the transmission they want to rebuild and insure they have the time to bring it. As of right now, the kits we intend to supply will be Novak master rebuild kits, and we are planning to have several parts transmissions on hand in case a gear or other part needs to be sourced. ------------- 1946 CJ2A #23881 1953 CJ3b, nice! 1949 Jeepster 1947 Empire Model 90 1985 CJ10A Spen "S" Utility trailer Kubota l3400 |

Scott and I learned some great lessons for the spring rebuild clinic at the "Jeeps in January" event this past weekend. The first of which is start with a decent core that does not have water in it. The second is to have lots of spare parts on hand, third is how to recognize a t90a from a c! And the gears are not interchangeable. ------------- 1946 CJ2A #23881 1953 CJ3b, nice! 1949 Jeepster 1947 Empire Model 90 1985 CJ10A Spen "S" Utility trailer Kubota l3400 |

I finally got around to making hotel reservations. As mentioned elsewhere, we have to call, can't make reservations on the Bertram website. I also got a couple T-90 raffle tickets. Fingers crossed. Looking forward to Spring!

New to the site but not to the Spring Willys Reunion. Visiting since about 2007. I have enjoyed the cj2a page a lot. Without it I could not have gotten my 2a running. I wish there was a way to ADD the "site-name" on the Name Tag of the attendees, so people could more easily identify one another. I know, I have to thank several people for their knowledge and experienced advice. Thank you, Costas. 1946 cj2a ------------- A friend in the market is better than money in the purse. |

I'll vouch for him.....I've been trying to get Costas to post here FOREVER !! ( or at least since around '07)  And a nicer conversationalist you'll not find......he and his wife both. Costas, if you are talking about adding your 2A Page user name to your nametag, they've been doing that in the past like Art said. They just add it to the bottom of your name tag. I would suggest saying something about it when you turn in your registration though. Not everybody involved is on the Page (yeah I know, I can't figure it out either) so you will have to request it and tell them what username you want displayed on your name tag. Maybe Bob will catch this thread at some point and make a note of your username. Welcome......glad you posted!! PS That's the first time I've seen your Jeep! Looks like you did a fine job and it seems to be a pretty complete and capable little rig......show us some bigger pictures. ------------- '47 CJ2A PU '48 CJ2A Lefty "Common sense is not that common" |

My room & reunion registration are finally all set. I am so looking forward to seeing old WILLYS buds and acquaintances. Very interested in seeing Bob & Joe work their magic on a T-90. I have rebuilt dozens of GM Muncie & Borg Warner 4 speeds but never a WILLYS T-90- yet! "Lord Willing & The Crick Don't Rise", I'll be there. Maybe folks can make up a wish list so vendors can bring appropriate goodies to help with their WILLYS needs? ------------- 1945 CJ2A #10536 1948 CJ2A #176528 "Elmer" 1948 CJ2A #155970 "Gray Mule" 1948 CJ2A #155365 "Old Yeller" (GONE) BANTAM T3C # 6147 (GONE) BANTAM T3C # 30856 |

I know . . can't believe it is so close already! I am planning to participate in the Thursday trail activities. In my situation, I live in VA, my mother lives in western MD, the trails are in SW PA, the Reunion and a bunch of other relatives are in OH. "Almost" a straight line. . A possible plan was to pick up my Mom on the way, take her trail riding, then drop her off at relatives, for a couple days, while I was attending the Reunion. I called her tonite to confirm, but she has new plans for the weekend. Her cousin and husband are having a 60th wedding anniversary party on the 18th. My Mom is 80 years old, but in good shape for her age. . . I am somewhat relieved that the trip will be simplified because I do not have to make some side trips, but disappointed that my Qwaaazy 80 Mom will not be trail riding with some of the Qwaaazy 8's

Congratulations to our transmission rebuild clinic winners! Our own Damar2yxr and a guy from port Clinton, Ohio have won the right to sit at the table with Joe Deyoung to rebeuild their t90s. We have master kits from Novak and a transmission shop right down the road that is going to clean everything up. I know all of you guys are just green with envy! But you will get to watch the whole process. And who knows? Maybe next year you can bring your Dana 18 along for a rebuild! ------------- 1946 CJ2A #23881 1953 CJ3b, nice! 1949 Jeepster 1947 Empire Model 90 1985 CJ10A Spen "S" Utility trailer Kubota l3400 |

Can I meet up somewhere closer to the trail head? My plan is to spend the night with my mother in Oakland MD on Weds night. It appears that Cabela's in WV might be going too far west, only to re-trace my steps? ie. from Oakland, MD where would be best place to meet, at what time? I will plan to get there early, so that the group does not have to wait for me.

I don't remember what time we met last year. 0900 sounds good to me. Went down to the farm today and did a some trail clearing. Not as slick as last year, but still pretty wet. We'll have to play it by ear as to which trails to take. I also got several passes mowed in the field before it started raining. Should be enough room to park a number of trailers. ------------- '48 CJ2A '56 DJ3A '79 CJ7 And two of them actually run! |

Ron, I'm not sure what to tell you about getting there! If you are coming up I-79 or across I-68, you will have to go in a huge circle to get to Cabela's in Wheeling (actually Tridelphia, WV). Your route would be much shorter taking WV route 7 out of Morgantown or PA route 21 out of Waynesburg, PA. The farm is on Morford Rd, Springhill township, PA 15310. We are right at the PA/WV state line. The road in WV is called Woodruff Rd. It's not really easy to find and cell phone coverage is spotty, but I hate to make you drive an extra 1 1/2 to 2 hrs. ------------- '48 CJ2A '56 DJ3A '79 CJ7 And two of them actually run! |

First off, to answer Stev's question, I plan to be there. If main group is meeting at Cabela's at 0900, what time would you arrive at trailhead? My route, would be coming across I-68 to Morgantown. My first thought was to try to get trailhead about 30 minutes ahead of you (to allow for any unexpected delays) . . but then you say "not really easy to find, and spotty cell coverage" haha Is there somewhere, somewhat close, easier to find, and good cell coverage?

I am posting a copy of the message I sent to Seth here:
There is no physical address, but we are staging at the PA/WV state line
on Morford Rd. At the state line, the name of the road changes to
Woodruff Rd. Ron is running into the same thing. I wish I could be at
both ends so I could guide everybody in! If you GPS Morford Rd in
Springhill township, that will get you on the right end of Morford Rd.
Then head west toward West Virginia. There is a large shipping
container in the field and a Port-o-potty along the creek. It will take us a good hour to get to the farm from Cabela's, probably closer to 1 1/2 hours. We will be going down Rt88 from Wheeling and then down WV250 past Cameron, WV. I plan to have printed directions for the folks meeting at Cabela's in case we get separated. I'm also bringing a couple of extra BaoFeng radios we can use on the way down. That doesn't help the folks coming from the east, however. Cell phone coverage is poor unless you have AT&T. I am bringing 2 phones and will PM everyone my phones. (I don't use AT&T normally, so I got a burner phone through AT&T just for the farm). I will try and find the directions my club, HRJA, uses when we have a trip down there. They come in from Waynesgurg, PA, I-79 exit #14 ------------- '48 CJ2A '56 DJ3A '79 CJ7 And two of them actually run! |

I have an empty seat and even an empty bedroom or two. If anyone would rather stay in Washington, PA on Wednesday night, I'm sure my wife won't mind (No, really, she won't). I'm about 20 minutes from Cabela's right at the junction of I-70 and I-79 (Laboratory exit of I-79 - #33) ------------- '48 CJ2A '56 DJ3A '79 CJ7 And two of them actually run! |

Thanks Bob for good directions. Using those and Google Maps I should have no problem finding the "shipping container in the field".
Based on this, the Cabela's group should be at trailhead between 10:00-10:30am . . I will shoot to be there before 10:00. Can't wait . . thanks so much for offering the "farm" for our fun. edit: I will have empty seat also.

He said that intention was to drive it all the way, but in the end did not have enough time, and had to bail on that plan.

Mrs. Nofender and I made it home to MA safely! Just want to post a note giving a sincere THANK YOU to the event organizers and volunteers. It's truly one of the best events we've been to in a long time. We thoroughly enjoyed "Revolution in Pleasantville" and "When Wagoneers Roamed the Earth" The passion displayed by these gentlemen was infectious! It was nice to see some old friends and make some new ones! Great to see everyone! And again - Thanks for a great event!

Wow another great reunion. I had fun and learned a lot. As many of you will learn I was AWARDED a high honor! Yes! I was 2019s “Hard Luck Guy” recipient. The darn T-90 transmission rebuild went not so good but the experience taught me a ton. No worries! I’ll get a few new parts and I’ll get it done. The hard part was unloading all my disassembled transmissions and tools. Once I caught myself feeling sorry for me but then I picked up my trophy and felt tons better. I did get chewed out by Scott Gilbert for touching the piano in the lobby but with my luck what could I expect?    ------------- eat,sleep,jeep Proud father of a Marine, Army Dentist, Navy Pilot and a Princess.

..... and in case you were wondering, those frequent wooden poles in the ground with vegetation growing on them are called “trees”. They get in the way once in a while. Some have suggested that if we clean that “mud” off our tires we could go right up the hill. Might have to try that experiment sometime ------------- CJ2A #29110 "General Willys" MB #204827 "BAM BAM" "We do what we can, and we try what we can't" |

I posted a clip of our wheeling on Facebook and someone told me if I had “all terrain tires” I would have walked up that hill. He said he had them on his Land Rover and “couldn’t get stuck if he tried” haha!

You can go, walk up and down the rows and see
some amazing history, or see some arguably brilliant “one-of” engineering… you
can have a simply awesome time taking in the event, maybe finding some parts,
mostly because you likely wouldn’t be there if you had no interest. Right?
But if you’ll simply let it happen, there’s another layer… the people…
and it’s organic. A simple thank you to those that made this weekend possible,
that took the time and made the effort all in such a way as to make the 1200+
miles and 21 hours there and back… well…trivial.
Holly and I had a great time, caught up with some, met some new… enjoyed the
stories and just generally geeked out with likeminded folks all while benefitting
from the efforts of those that really made it look effortless. Please know that we know that it’s not. ------------- Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it... Welcome to 1930's Germany |
