Sure was good seeing all my friends. We will do this more so don't fret. Just do as  I am and fix all the querks for next year. I'll be glad to build a fire at any cabin you choose! If you pass through the Black Hills, look me up and we'll go out in the shop and talk Jeep-------LOL. Oilly

The fellow scratching his head in the foto is John (a dang good blues harmonica player I might add) I spoke to him about his jeep and the body is an odd repop with both M38 and 3A features, and some features I've never seen. It was on the jeep when he got it and no idea who the mfr was.

After reviewing the photos, I think one of the two yellow Jeeps is Wingnuts Willys.

Gary from Texas.  (Gmcjr)


There are these two Yellow Jeeps with black windshields, but I'm not sure if they're 3As.  One shield looks M38, but I don't see a battery box cover on the cowl.



This white one with grey top?

Yep,
You and Keith (Grumpy) represented the 3Bs on the trail.  I think Bruce had his 3B there too, but he and Tiny didn't drive it much. 

We all know you can put a 3A shield on a 2A, so I'm not positive about my next observation.

I attempted to count 3A/M38 style windshields in the Aspen Ridge photo. 10...maybe 11.  I think I can make out 33 or 34 Jeeps in that line up.  That would be a solid 30-31% 3As and M38s.  If we remove the known M38s, the 3A number is maybe at 6 to 8.  Still a respectable 19-20% 3A participation.

It's probably useless information, but I wonder if we could get everyone who participated to tell us what they drove this year.  As it is 'Home Base', it's probably smart to ask this question at the 2A Page.  I might do that.

It seems like there are not many CJ-3As at shows and things. I don't have production numbers handy but I'd say that the percentage of CJ-3As Vs CJ-2As (at shows) doesn't even come close to the amount produced. What were the numbers at the FCT? Maybe 6 CJ-3As? How about CJ-3Bs? There were only two!

True.  3As and M38s were well represented this year.  It warms my heart.  I don�t think we topped the 2A crowd in numbers, but it might have been close.

Bob, I scan the photos of the reunions and picnics held out east.  A 3A sighting seems rare at these events.  Am I just missing them, or am I correct to assume they don�t show up that much at these gatherings?

Leaker, Tumble,
I can't think of two better families to spend quality porch-time with.  I'm there!

I agree - okay the plan is we meet Saturday morning at the cabin! I'll bring the donuts, Tim you bring the coffee, and John can start the fireplace up!

Those are some GREAT pictures - I have to get some therapy - been looking at the pictures of 2016 trip almost everyday. I really need to get my mind back on the job, well at least until May 2018 and then they can have it all, I'm going jeepin!

You take some great shots. Should have a Jeep Photography studio next to your garage Door business.  ;) now for the thought of the day: I keep wanting to sit early in the  AM having a hot quiet cup of coffee on one of those old cabins front porches at Winfield. They just capture me. Oilly
