My wife and I watched the grandkids today . . in trying to keep grandson busy, and set him in the seat of old Jeep. He spun the steering wheel back an forth a bunch of times, tried beep the horn, but then eventually stood up.

So true.. I really like Ben's posts of his little guy! My grandson has some traits of future Jeeper. At 14 months, he seems to be so inquisitive, mechanical, and fearless. . a true Jeeper. haha

Now grampa just needs to find a Hamilton Pedal JEEP so the little guy can keep the WILLYS Thing in his blood.

Both my kids each have their own power wheels Jeeps and the first thing they ask when we go outside is if I can put the batteries in the Jeeps. They tool all over the property in them while I work on the XJ, CJ5 and 2A. My son is constantly asking to go for a "Jeep Ride" from the time I come home from work to the time we go to bed.
In 10 more years I may be adding a few more project Jeeps to the driveway to give us time to get them going before they get their driver's licenses. |

OK, so while we are admiring young "Jeeper-Kids" in this thread, I'll keep it alive: My son's daughter was two when I took the following photo of her, 2-summers back. I salvaged or actually saved the Willys pickup box from going to the scrapper in 2014. above photo of my only grand child - a future "Girl Jeeper" with any luck. I am breaking her in early so she gets a "feel" of a Willys hands-on (the tailgate).

Ahhh, the real reason behind the Ross box---------- Nice! I think I was 5 years old when my father bought the 47 2A in 1950. It was a similar experience and for sure an introduction to a life long addiction to both Jeeps and mountains.
