Any Jeep pics you want to share?

Who's Jeep Truck Centre is this?

.

Dan is a great hardworking guy.

He also owns a Scrambler and has posted here a few times.

He makes an annual trip to USA and buys his next project driving from wherever to port.

Most times has major mechanical problems along the journey.

Usually stops by and buys parts, although has cleaned me out of FSJ parts pretty good.

I also sold him the very rare "Jeep Truck Center" double sided sign seen pictured on first page. Top corner was cracked and I found a NOS double one at FL stash.

There's also an article by the forum's own Julie Covert (wife of Hugh/SHLTR2) on Team JPFreek's effort to race in the Rebelle Rally this October in their rebuilt '82 Scrambler

Once again, very excellent issue!

So, what's the story with the "DJ-6." I'm assuming it's just an informal moniker for a RHD CJ-6, that was perhaps used by a USPS contractor for delivering mail?

Rusty6 can answer better, but "DJ" means delivery jeep, not just postal... IIRC that one was a work truck, 2WD originally (hence the "Delivery" designation). Or is it "Dispatch"?

For some reason I think Steve told me it was used at an airport....but maybe my memory is crossed with some other story we had a conversation about. At any rate it is a great Jeep and Steve and his Dad are top notch guys to trail ride with!

Yes, an airport. I was trying to remember if it wasn't a military airfield...

Yes, she's very excited about the rally. If anybody wants help out with support, (cool stuff for helping) follow this link: igg.me/at/TeamJPFreek Still need a few things to make it race-ready. And. Steve Peine's wife is her co-pilot/navigator!

I was wondering the same thing. DJ series also means (technically) it started life as 2WD and also a RHD but the article mentions nothing about either. But of course it's an article about an awesome jeep, not the history on the actual DJ-6

 

[Rusty6]

Ok, the windshield from the DJ in BigWalton's article is from the first DJ I found in southern Indiana. It was originally used at a little airport. I'm just not sure where. The DJ in the article was originally purchased by the Delight Whosale Co. They were an ice cream distributor in Lexington, KY A little web research shows they went out of business from lawsuits associated with truck accidents. No wonder my little Jeep is so crinkled up!

Try it now...

I have an NOS Jeep parts catalog from 1971. If I remember correctly, DJs were LHD with RHD being a option. Mine has always been a LHD.

Here you go....for sale now on GT as luck would have it
I think this is a DJ but I don't think the owner knows it.
