"Modifications"-- Technical Questions, Answers, Incites / Harrison Heater Installation/Mod Video

« on: February 01, 2017, 08:27:13 AM »

My son and I created a video on refurbishing and building a new core for the Harrision Heater we picked up which I hope helps anyone interested in adding one to their Jeep. Not exactly the easiest thing to do but it was nice to bring back this old unit to something that actually works.

Looked pretty bad when we got it.

Willys photo and story threads... / B-52 Memorial Project & Willys CJ3A Jeep

« on: November 23, 2016, 08:18:57 AM »

When my son and I purchased our jeep last December it needed a lot of work. We spent more weekends working on it than I care to remember. What started out as "dad all we need to do is fix the brakes" turned into a much more intensive project. As we spent the weekends working on it we had the goal of getting it up to the Northwoods of Wisconsin and started looking for trails online. In addition a B-52 plan crash that I remember as a kid hearing about and actually seeing a part of in the 1980's resurfaced. With the help from the University of Wisconsin we came up with the plan of creating a memorial for the crewmen who on November 18th, 1966 and our jeep played a vital role in it. It was a 24 hour 900 mile journey but we accomplished it. Video link is below. Enjoy and click the HD version. https://youtu.be/hLyxlN1HMeI

These are cool. I think the shipping cost for a container overseas would be expensive though. Also I'm not sure what other regulations there are here in the US that might prevent these from being sold. We're the land of regulations so there's a good chance these little jeeps may not comply.

Nice to be on the board. My kids and I worked a good 8 months, every weekend, getting our CJA3A to where it is today. Wouldn't change the experience for the world. Learned a lot along the way. Happy to share my knowledge with any who need it.
