Rented a sod cutter and used the trusty Willys for transportation.

-Late Entry- Last night we took my wife over to Day’s Store down by the lake to pick up some sammiches and a bota box. Got the “Strato-Freeze Air Conditioner”-(Brother Dave) on and feeling fine. Beautiful drive.

Not to hijack this thread, but my post above reminded me of experience yesterday. I was traveling down a scenic back-country road, and noticed a Porsche Carrera? approaching, then another and another. Obviously a group outing. I put my "thumbs up" in windshield for next 10 or so cars, but did not get a single reply! Not to criticize anyone, but that is one thing I like about Jeeps, and older cars in general . . that recognition of something different.

What!! ?  I am so used to getting thumbs up while driving, people coming up in parking lots, gas stations etc, - > that it is so surprising when not a single person notices for an entire outing. . . oh well, not everyone notices these 70+ year old gems.

Worked the Bantam Jeepfest history booth and drove the handicap cart around. Had Old Ruby in the parade and jeep invasion Friday evening. Close to 1500 Jeeps in the parade. What a GREAT turnout. Lots of trails and activities. 3 beautiful Bantam Jeeps built here in Butler.

I worked on my 67 CJ5 today. Installed a new gas tank, and fuel pump so now the Jeep will run on it's own without the boat gas tank I have been using. Next project is brakes.
Drove my CJ2A into town again, but nobody noticed.

Buta46,
Those pictures remind me of my biggest mistake in 4-wheeling. Back in 88 I drove a nearly new 1986 Isuzu Trooper through a place that looked a bit like that. It wasn't a beaver pond, but a big mud hold in an old strip mine. I saw tracks on both side of the mud hole so figured I could cross it too. I didn't realize until it was too late that the air intake, which was in the grill on that ride, was sucking a good bit of muddy water into the engine. The oil pressure dropped enough on the other side that I had it towed home. I ended up rebuilding the engine, and the crank looked like it had been threaded. Had to be turned .060 under.

Got the fuel pump fixed and got rid of the old Willy's. Wife said last year I drove it 3 miles total and insurance cost me $100. per mile. Guess I've lost interest. Gary

Did our standard New Radiator Woodward Avenue Test. Clarkston to Ferndale and back on a Saturday night. New radiator kept it under 190 down and back, so that's a pass. I was told by the passenger of Hyundai Veloster N that my old Jeep is "Sick", and that I should give him a fist bump. I did, and I guess it is, in one sense of the word.

Just back and forth into town a couple of times, picked up some battery parts for the plow truck and added a couple of cleats where we dock the pontoon boat. I’m getting a little nervous though, it’s been a month and 100 miles since I put the tranny and T-case back in and still no leaks. If I hadn’t of just changed out the oil this week I’d think it was out of oil

BUTA46 Not being critical. Just my humble opinion. You had a blast and you're happy, that's what matters. Nice Willys, BTW.

Yes. Well, this was in fact the second most stupid thing that I’ve done in my Jeep. The most stupid thing I’ve done was crossing the beaver bog the first time. The other side was a dead end at an old logging site with no other way out. These pictures are of me coming back.
The drive home from there by Jeep is about three hours. No problems all the way home. The next weekend I drained all the lubricant fluids no signs of water. Some foaminess in the pan of the air cleaner but that I suspected. I know that the diff vents were functioning correctly because I was fascinated by them and how they worked the year before when I began my Willys journey. So the answer is little to none on the water. You couldn’t pay me enough to do it again.
