Picked up an oddball Willys at the show today in Phoenix.
It is a Navy 62 DJ3A. It is rough, but it drives and most of it works.
Best thing is, it doesn't fit the descriptions of a DJ on a search.
It is a flatfender with tailgate, L134 and 3 on the tree. Has 15" 5 bolt wheels.

The covers on my truck (Canvas) have faded to nearly white from our intense sun. What recommendations do you have for a brand/type of paint to use to bring it back to color that won't just flake off?
The covers are not waxed or rubberized canvas. They were treated 2 years ago with the Canvak...

Anyone else wants to join us is welcome. We...
I have an M37 and an M38 so I have some real MVs, but the paint has once again died on my 90 D250 CTD. I'm done painting it expensive clear coated finishes. I have the patterns for the 70's camo and I also have a gallon of the correct 70's lusterless gray for the Navy. I think I'm going to make...
A heads up for anyone who has a VWM harness that they bought in the last year and a half. I bought one 16 months ago and installed it 14 months ago.
It looked great and fit correctly. As it should for the price paid. However, now that it has a bit over a year on it, ALL of the rubber grommets...
