My good friend Mike knew I was interested in a cj2a for years and he decided to let go of one of his gems to me a 1947 cj2a he affectionally had named Chester copper pot. It had been sitting for quite some time but he pulled it out of his back roll and quickly it was running and in my possession. We have big plans with the cj2a but will keep it’s we’ll deserved patina which help give him his name

The patina is cleaning up great on this rust free beauty. Ton of maintenance parts are sitting here and on the way I’m super excited

Thanks Guys. It runs and drives great as it is…..it’s very special. Everything I do to it is just for fun. It’s nice to be able to drive it around and enjoy it as I work on it between times

Nice looking rides. I've got an 80 and an M38 myself and like how they mark relative extremes in terms of solid front axle 4wds. The LC apparently grew out of copy and adaptation of Willy's jeeps in the early 50s so they share the same lineage, etc. in my book. |

I own a Land Cruiser restoration shop here in Missouri so I live by saying that to make myself feel like I need to own this 2 a
The Land Cruiser would probably never would’ve been born if it wasn’t for the Flat Fender Willy’s

I struggled on what tire to run on the 2a but I kept coming back to the super Traxions so I settled on them finally 7.50 16 on stock wheels with tubes

Those look great. Rub much at full lock/turn? The 7.5 x 16 Grip Spurs on my M38 rub a good bit but also have more prominent side lugs.
