'47 Willy's Jeep

HERE IS THE REAL JEEP!!  This is the one that he restored!!!


For the past two months Jake has been working on rebuilding a 1947 Willy's Jeep.  I have been the patient one who sat there and tried to give tools, and talked and talked, while he worked.  He finally got it running this past week and has been taking it driving constantly.  Today was my first treck in the Jeep.  It only goes 35 mph but when there are no seatbelts or doors it seems a little fast!  We finally got me a jacket so I wouldn't freeze and put my sunglasses on to help avoid bugs! We off-roaded and climbed up some pretty steep stuff, so it was great fun!  I wanted to share my new experience with everyone and show them the jeep!  Well, it's just a picture I stole offline, but it is pretty similar, just black and rusty.
