Yeah it's green, but what do they grow here? Pot?
Might well be, It's the great big thing now.
But that's illegal!
Go tell our politicians. There's tax money in it, big money. They simply don't care.
Ah yes, I do remember Toll Collect. Great way to waste money, Why don't they just burn it?
Can't just burn money, all the CO² ain't environment friendly.
Yeah right.

Downloaded the instructions for the SWB Willys Jeep from Bluebrixx and built it in light grey.
I like that the rear of the car actually widens, from six-ish at the front to seven in the rear. But I do not understand why the whole of the body behind the windscreen is fixed on a single stud - changed that, of course.
The front is quite complicated too, and wrong: the bonnet needs to be one flat plane, not having a half-plate step in it. Same with the grille which should sit flush with the headlights.
I'll show a comparison with other Jeeps tomorrow.

2441 Willys Jeep
My attempt to build a Willys Jeep on a small 2441 chassis. Not the best idea, because the ground clearance is negligible, but not the worst either. Can't even say that this is the smallest Willys Jeep I've built, that would've been the Mighty Micros, ages ago.

Scarface went into the forest to get some twigs and cones for Christmas decorations.
Most probably this is going to be my picture for Crazy Tuesdays, even if it's a tad older - this is just the time of the year to take photos of christmassy things.

I had intended to take a picture of this Jeep on a small bridge, made from twigs over the small creek where I photographed the pirates a few weeks ago.
Creek? Which creek? We're still having a draught, 3rd year in a row, and that little creek is completely dried up, so I had to settle for something else. On a fencepost near my favourite, dead-end field road.
And as it's friday (yes, checked the calendar!) i upload this to the fenced friday groups too :o)

From left to right: Cobi (yes, that's a Ford GP), Bluebrixx and my own (the first variant w/o swing axle). Although the MOC has some flaws, I still like it better than the others.

Probably the worst take of a Willys Jeep you'll ever see.
It sits a whole figure, but has no room for a steering wheel. The minifigure's arse is the main connecting element, I was quite surprised that this thingy even survived getting taken outdoors.

Four wides will never become a fovourite of mine, but sometimes it's nice to have a car which fits into your pocket without any ado.

This truck is abandoned in a yard in an expensive residencial area in my city. There were actually two trucks rusting away in the tall grass area. I had visited the place to check it out and gather ideas for photos, then returned another day to take some self-portraits. But I had to quickly retreat after taking only two of the photos I had in mind.
I want to go back there and do more, but let's say I shouldn't go back alone and/or unarmed :P

I have just been featured on a interview for "The World Through my Eyes" group. It's quite fun, check it out!
(1945-1949) WILLYS CJ-2A
Production Total: 214,760
With the close of WWII now eminent, Willys-Overland began to consider the development of a civilian jeep that it could market beyond the scope of the militarized MB, leading to the first mass-production of the CJ-2A in 1945. First drafts of the CJ-2A included the CJ-1 and CJ-2 (AgriJeep), of which only 6 are known to have survived. The CJ-2A resembled its military ancestor closely, with a tailgate and side mounted spare tire. However, there are certain characteristics of the CJ-2A that make it easier to distinguish from the Willys MB; most notably with regard to the headlights (which on the CJ-2A are larger and flush-mounted) and the grille (now a seven-slot grille as opposed to the nine-slot MB grille). The CJ-2A T-90 Transmission replaced the MB’s T-84, while the "Go-Devil" engine was kept intact - many of the early CJ-2As were equipped with surplus parts leftover from wartime production. Willys Overland first marketed the CJ-2A with the intention of gaining ground in farming, ranching, and other industrial and agricultural applications. Options were abundant on the CJ-2A, including extra equipment such as a rear seat, center rear view mirror, front passenger seat, canvas top, front PTO, rear PTO, belt pulley drive, capstan winch, governor, rear hydraulic lift, snow plow, welder, generator, mower disc, front bumper weight, heavy duty springs, dual vacuum windshield wipers, dual taillights, hot-climate radiator, driveshaft guards, heater, side steps, and radiator brush guard. In 1949, the Willys-Overland replaced the CJ-2A with the CJ-3A, which was produced until 1953.

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

As I had just been building a rover in lime green, I had the idea to try a new colour variant on Cornelwine's 4-wide Willys Jeep, add balloon tyres and see what happens. VoilĂ a rover!

Copper-blooded aliens! Nae legs but crawling around as if the street was theirs! Move yer arse, we're in a hurry!
I admit, this is no "real" rover, it's just another colour-variant of the Willys Jeep. I tried to keep the colours in the classic colour scheme with blue, bits of grey, yellow transparent parts (that was the most difficult bit) and red wheels.
Was quite surprised to see a snail crawling along in February, but that's climate change for you.

Articulated axle for the Willys Jeep. This looks a bit askew because in this first trial I've fixed the front bumper on the wheel holder. Later I've managed to fix it below the cooler grille, thanks to the new 1x2 plates with open studs.

I've came across yet another model of the Willys Jeep, and as it came with instructions on Youtube it was easy to replicate.
I've changed only two tiny bits: the driver's seat was pushed back by half a stud. For that it had to move inwards by the same amount, to come clear of the arch bit, and the mount of the cheese wedges had to change, too.
The second thing that was changed is the light holder in the front from square to a curved 1x4 plate.
Looks nice, is a bit closer in dimensions to the prototype than my variant - but this one isn't pocket proof to be taken outdoors. When I got home, this was crumbled to bits.

Jane and Lucy on a shopping spree. In pink.
This is the one picture I had in mind since... I don't know, for a small eternity. Whenever we bought a bag of the liquorice allsorts (Lakritzkonfekt) I tried to keep back the pink ones, because I wanted to make a picture of pink candy with the pink jeep.This is about six pounds later...
The A-Team van was originally intended to appear in this picture, but with the story telling itself and me being degraded to merely holding the camera on my minifigure's shenanigans, it had no place anymore, the Citroen HY from Nybohov Creations popped up instead.

Willys Military Jeep (M38A1)
The M38A1 version of the Willys Jeep was manufactured from 1952 to 1971, and was used by all branches of the U.S. Military. The M38A1 was an updated version of the M and M38 which were used extensively during WWII. The M38A1 was used during the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
Powered by a 2.2 liter four cylinder gas engine producing 72 horsepower and 114 foot pounds of torque with four wheel drive, it was a go anywhere do anything workhorse.
