You are, literally, an inspiration. Seeing what you and this “mostly” stock Jeep can do must leave the “buy another goody” crowd with their mouths open. No excuses!
Thank you for sharing the work you have done to your special and very capable little Jeep. After watching the crazy positions you can get in to and out of again are amazing! Safe wheeling 👍
I love the history of the jeep, and the way you've kept it mostly original. Always enjoy watching you tackle those trails! I visited Moab a few times 5-6 years ago with the family. Taking my 48 CJ2A there is on the bucket list! You're an inspiration Stan!
Dear Mr. Stan Fuller, my name is: Carlos Valero, I am writing to you from Venezuela, South America, since I was little I have felt great admiration for Jeep's, especially military models, the second vehicle that my grandfather bought was a 1948 Jeep just like yours, of which I have several retrators where my mother and grandmother appear, then my grandfather bought a Willys 1957 SW pickup with a Super Huirricane 226 luxury edition engine which I inherited when he passed away and which I kept for more than 10 years using it all days to go to work and I sold it later because it was very difficult for me to get spare parts for that particular engine. Then I bought other Jeep's, currently I made a dream of my children come true and a year ago I bought a Willys M38A1 from 1961 which was in service in the US Army and Venezuela was decommissioned and came into my hands, it is quite original, It's missing some decorative accessories like the outer gas can and the blackout light that goes on the front fender, both of which I'm looking for in old car lots. I want to congratulate you because of all the drivers you are the best, I am very impressed by everything you do with an original Jeep without accessories, it is incredible how it climbs rocks and passes over the mud and sand as if it were floating in the air, it shows At first glance, the experience you have at the wheel, I really enjoy your videos, I would love to send you some photos of my jeep. this is my email: aquiles537@gmail.com
I love watching what you and your cohorts do with these jeeps , not 30,000 $ rigs with every custom mod that they could get , just plain simple inexpensive fun thank you keep it up
I'm on the forums and you're jeep was what alot of people referenced me too when mine rolled over last year, I'm almost done with it now and should be getting it tagged soon. Keep it going, shes a beauty
Great walk around, like the custom spring plates, and skid plates. I need to do this on my 46 cj-2a, which is mostly stock also. One difference is my engine is a gpw, went through it last winter and have put 2,500 miles on it this year. Body work, well don't look to close, and painted with rattle can's from Walmart. See a picture of mine inside front cover Kaiser Willys 2020 catalog, third row, second picture with grandson leaning on spare. You are right they are fun to drive and ride, it only takes a little while to catch the bug. Thanks again
I love watching your videos and sharing it with my friends.I am 23 years old and I am only materialistic about Jeeps.I will buy one some day and ride around like you and will never paint it again just like you 😂.Much love from India 💙
You'll get there mate, wanted one since I was 8. Got my first one at 54. Dont put it off as long as I did. Like Stan eludes too, just a special driving experience
Stan, love Grampas Jeep. Bought a 1947 CJ2A last year & am slowly bringing it back to life. As with yours, I plan on keeping the original patina and making it road & trail worthy. Grampas jeep is an inspiration!
Thanks a lot. Interesting video. Your videos are so cool I spend hours watching them, 👍🏻 I just bought my first jeep a couple weeks ago, it’s like new and I already went in rocks and mud 😎 Keep on going, greatings from France 🇫🇷
This is so amazing that you do what you do with this rig. I have my first Jeep and can’t wait to get it out on the trail! Your videos really help me know that I don’t have to spend tons of money to go have fun. Not going to lie though, I’d really like to have a CJ2A to mess with.
Well done, and serious question; what possible reason could someone have for giving a thumbs down to this video? Anyway love the mods and for showing a simpler way of doing business
"Custom directional tail lights 😄 but they work!" This video presentation was obviously way better an explanation, because you know... You can really have a closer look in and around Gramps like those custom spring plates way under the jeep and also the skid plates. Wise words too, at the end. You did great Stan. 👏
I really enjoyed this, Stan. I've also got a '48 and it's so cool to get a tour of very familiar territory. Decay has happened in different places and there are different sets of minor mods, but things between our 2 jeeps are very similar. Yours has a nice coating of Utah red dust, where I would have central New York mud. I remember when my dad brought it home in about '68, so it's got a nice long streak going in the family. Once I got it from my dad after he couldn't work on it anymore, I kept in in the barn for about 20 years. My regular jeep is a '65 CJ5, but I've just moved the 2A into my shed where I can work on it about a month ago, so it's really fun to be back working on it. I commuted with it when I was 20 (I'm a 60 something) about 15 miles each way. I've also got a picture of me as a teenager driving it up some steep slope and having fun. I just bought a new 6v battery from NAPA a week ago, have a new fan belt ordered, and my son has the carb to rebuild it here in the next couple of days. I put a little bit of diesel in each of the cylinders to help loosen the rings. The last time I tried to start it maybe a decade ago I wasn't getting good compression, so hopefully the diesel will loosen rings that might be sticky. Once it's running, which I'm hoping will be in the next couple of weeks, things should smooth out, and any sticky valves will get used to moving and sealing again. It had a 'Hi-Lo Jeep' hydraulic pump under the hood for a snowplow which I just took out. I also took that identical pump out of the '65. Those things take up lots of room in the engine compartment, and generally make a mess. It's great having that thing out of there. I'm now cleaning up the underside of caked-on grease, oil, and dirt. There's a lot of it and most of it has been on there for a half century. Anyway, thanks for posting this terrific tour of the 2A.
You hit the nail on the head Stan. Of the three jeeps I now have the 48 is my favorite. The perfect day for me is hitting the trail with the windshield down and the breeze in my face. I am the gramps's now, but hope my son and his kids will inherit the same passion.
Josh Reed Thanks! It’s easy to do. You take a red Jeep and paint it blue with a brush. The. Leave if outside for 65 years without ever washing or waxing it, 😋
Stan, wish we were neighbors! I paint my 51 model 473 with floor and porch paint every 15 years weather it needs it or not 134 in f head it my tug boat. Thanks for showing John
Hello, First, this is Really cool. I’ve been watching your videos and it is a testament to the toughness and prowess of these early Jeep’s, and your driving skills obviously. I appreciated you taking the time to share some of this more detailed stuff and the inspirational “get out and drive it” part at the end was great. Thanks Sean
Thanks for the walk-around Stan. Great to get a closeup intro to the famous beast. Those additional skid plates look like they were a good call. As it happens the 49 3a I just bought has the same spare tire mount “delete” option yours does. Guess someone kissed a tree or rock at some point with it too. Long long ago judging by the circular wear pattern in the bed where the spare lives now. 😆
I take it you do the daily dozen plus the one mile walk run 🏃 P.T. Evolutions to continued wrestling, wrangling this ol combat tractor in the big rocks! Me? I’m a city slicker - fat and bald. I could not even consider getting behind the wheel without grimacing every time I turn the steering wheel. I remember how big those old steering wheels are, I’ve sat on modern yard mowers that lend greater comfort than that old thang!!! 🥰
Hi Stan this is Don from Colorado, your driving skills are unbelievable and your inspiration to all the old guys like myself.Thanks a lot buddy keep on rock crawling.
Awesome You are my Guru ji in off roading. A bare jeep without Any modification like Rock slider etc and tge way You simply do the trails is Out of this world and Awesome. I daily watch one of your episode Keep Rocking 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the walk around. As others have already said - Love the extra skid plates! Even here in Michigan, I may add some of these. We don't have the rocks you've got, but that just means the ones we do have "surprise" you more often. Having watched the Jeep in action, I guess I'm adding Lock-Rite differentials. Have kicked around which one to use for a long time, yours looks like it works the way I want to use it. Four wheel drive isn't four wheel drive until you lock up the differentials. I've had and driven Jeep, mostly old, for a long time. Finishing up my most recent (and likely final) project soon. Your final comment is great! Back roads, dirt roads and two-tracks here I come! Thanks again, keep posting those videos! They cover a lot of ground - A relative from France forwarded one to me, asking if my Jeep could negotiate the same terrain. I had to admit that I doubted I could. Not with open differentials anyway.
Thanks for watching and for the response. Lock Rights are a pretty simple install but you need to get the tolerances right. Here’s a link to a thread I wrote about the install I. My front axle. I have a little trouble and almost gave up on it. I’m glad I didn’t. www.thecj2apage.com/forums/lock-right-in-front_topic34436.html
I agree with everything you said about driving/enjoying it, and about keeping it as it is vs. restoring. I also have a '48 that shows it's age and the experiences that people have had with it; I will never take that away from it.
I recently buyed a Willys after I saw a lots of "Grampa's Jeeps" wheeling... I always loves the simple and small of the Willys, and these videos push me to have a Willys for that: for enjoying. I do like the original and collectionable Willys, but I love ride cars, and I wouldn't like to scrach a nice paint. So, I buyed not a perfect Willys: I buyed a Willys that I hope I will enjoy wheeling and asking 100% of he could do (of course, maintaining well the mechanics for avoding any bad experience at the middle of somewhere). I understand and I agree every single word you said. Thanks for this and for any single video of your Grampa's Jeep wheeling! BR, from Argentina.
Thanks. Often hiked older forgotten fire trails created in the 40-50’s and wondered how others travelled the many significant grades back in the day until I viewed what this old gal can do -
Jeep. Most modified vehicle in the world. Old school DIY. 1974 CJ. Install P/S, front disc brakes, t18 4 speed, 1992 Chevy TBI. Did all myself. Kids can’t believe my wife and I do the things we do. Like your spring and skid plate ideas. Nevada Grampa
Really enjoyed this video. People need to understand this is what jeeps were built for, to be used and driven and enjoyed not just to be rebuild back to as new and looked at. I know that if you own it you can do whatever you want with it but jeeps and cars are just tools, use them and enjoy them.✌✌
Appreciate that info video. My 4 wheeling interest was initiated by a family friend's teenage son who had one(in the 50's) in San Bruno, Ca. He took me out and the rest is history. I've always thought owning a flat fendered one would be nice but "no cigar." Love your ideas of what 4 wheeling is although I'm not into the Carnage Canyon type scenarios. My Bronco is mostly stock. May you have many more adventures in Grampa's Jeep.
Dang, I was just looking at a '47 with the same kind of "patina" on Craigslist this morning, the guy selling it got it from his dad who's brother bought it new. I decided I didn't need another project but now I'm having second thoughts. He said it just needed some carb work, and if that;s all it took I would fix that and drive it as is.
We buy a offroader 4x4 equipped with differential lock and computer controlled system and bla bla bla ... But hardly get offroad and here grandpa with almost stock jeep climbs rocks and mountains n what not . I personally love the "golden crack" challange .. hatts off grandpa👍🔥🔥
Stan the part where you explain the patch your grandpa did really shows how special this jeep is to you
You are, literally, an inspiration. Seeing what you and this “mostly” stock Jeep can do must leave the “buy another goody” crowd with their mouths open. No excuses!
Thanks for your kind words and thanks for watching.
Thank you for sharing the work you have done to your special and very capable little Jeep. After watching the crazy positions you can get in to and out of again are amazing! Safe wheeling 👍
Thank you.
Great video. Liked hearing all about Grampa's Jeep. 😀
Thank you for walk around. Very minimal modifications and they seem to work well - in all of your videos.
I like what you do to it . And I agree they was built to be used Thanks Stan
Thank you.
Enjoyed your video and watching you on the trails. Thank you.
Thanks for your kind words, and thanks for watching.
NICE JOB POPS! awesome old school jeep!
I love the history of the jeep, and the way you've kept it mostly original. Always enjoy watching you tackle those trails! I visited Moab a few times 5-6 years ago with the family. Taking my 48 CJ2A there is on the bucket list! You're an inspiration Stan!

Thanks for your kind words and thanks for watching.
I love watching what you and your cohorts do with these jeeps , not 30,000 $ rigs with every custom mod that they could get , just plain simple inexpensive fun thank you keep it up
Joe Moore Thanjs for your kind words and thanks for watching. We’re having a good time.
Love it God bless you Grampa love and regards from Nagaland 👍
Thanks for sharing Stan , the family says hello from AZ. Be safe till next wheeling trip 👍
Love the history of this jeep and obviously the way you kept it .... Blessings
I am beyond impressed with You and your Jeep. Thanks for this explanation.
Thanks for the tour of your Jeep. I love watching you tackle tough terrain in it where the pretty rigs dare not go.
I'm on the forums and you're jeep was what alot of people referenced me too when mine rolled over last year, I'm almost done with it now and should be getting it tagged soon. Keep it going, shes a beauty
Nice to see your video, Grampa Stan! We ❤️ You! More Power!
This brings back memories, back in the mid 70's I learned how to drive in my dads 1946 CJ2A. That thing would climb a tree if it could get traction.
Thank you for the great video Stan. What fun we had and we are looking forward to many more dents and scratches with you and grampa’s Jeep
Great walk around, like the custom spring plates, and skid plates. I need to do this on my 46 cj-2a, which is mostly stock also.

Thanks for your kind words and thanks for watching.
That Jeeps been everywhere. I enjoy watching you and the others driving those ole flat fenders. Glad you kept your grandpa's old Jeep and use it.
Really great and motivational as to NOT to do anything unnecessary. And use 100 % common sense.
Sweet! Like your practical mods. 👍
Love it...and I love the adventures you taken this Canadian on!!!
E. Rijpstra Thanks for your kind words and thanks for watching!

Thanks a lot. Interesting video.

I just bought my first jeep a couple weeks ago, it’s like new and I already went in rocks and mud 😎

That is such a cool Jeep. Thanks for showing us a bit about it.
This is so amazing that you do what you do with this rig. I have my first Jeep and can’t wait to get it out on the trail! Your videos really help me know that I don’t have to spend tons of money to go have fun. Not going to lie though, I’d really like to have a CJ2A to mess with.
Great rig walk-around! Had to check it out after seeing this yrs double sammy show..Neat history!!
Awesome Jeep Stan! I love watching you wheel it. I was about to tell my neighbor to turn off his lawn mower...
Well done, and serious question; what possible reason could someone have for giving a thumbs down to this video?
Anyway love the mods and for showing a simpler way of doing business
Your comment was a year ago, but the thumbs down votes come from the Mall Crawlers that put more wax on their Jeep than dirt. Lol!
"Custom directional tail lights 😄 but they work!"

Love how your jeep looks stock but has the right mods to do what you do, a great sleeper.
Good work and expert driving skills.
You're a real trooper! Thanks.
Love your videos. Got a 53 M38a1. Ripping it down and putting it back together. You are an inspiration to keep me working on her.
Thanks for checking in and thanks for the kind words.
It is amazing what you do with this Jeep. I need to do the spring plate mod to my Jeep.
Hi Stan, thanks for pointing me to your mods video, and thank you for your kind words of encouragement on my own projects. Subscribed!
Thanks for sharing this video,very interesting and informative video.
I absolutely love the paint job. Serious
Josh Reed Thanks! It’s easy to do. You take a red Jeep and paint it blue with a brush. The. Leave if outside for 65 years without ever washing or waxing it, 😋

Nice job Stan, I’m seeing to have a project like yours here in Brazil
My grandpa had a willys too.. love from Bangalore, India.
Right on keep on jeepin buddy!
Hi Stan this is Don from Colorado, your driving skills are unbelievable and your inspiration to all the old guys like myself.Thanks a lot buddy keep on rock crawling.
Thanks Don.
Using it is good I think. Glad you are enjoying driving it.
There we have it mostly stock! and driver skill! Look forward to see another video of the ol'girl in action. Hi from NZ.
Fully sick custom there Stan, haha
Awesome You are my Guru ji in off roading.

Love it. I have a ‘45 that belonged to my wife’s grampa. It stock as can be. I drive it whenever possible.
It's simply awesome!!
Thank you for the great video!
It's the PERFECT Jeep Stan! Don't ever change it buddy! 👍
Thanks
All these mods follow the 3F principle perfectly. Form, fit and function. Nothing obnoxious, or obtrusive, that ruin the feel of a flattie.
J’adore cette jeep et la façon dont vous la pilotez 👏

Im out in the Philippines and have a all original 1943 Willys that I drive daily! Love my jeep and love to drive it!
I’m following your lead Stan... instead of saying I’m stock, I’m going to say I’m mostly stock now!
I agree with everything you said about driving/enjoying it, and about keeping it as it is vs. restoring. I also have a '48 that shows it's age and the experiences that people have had with it; I will never take that away from it.
Love it!
Awesome Jeep!
That’s amazing you are able to do all the challenging stuff with a stock Jeep
Love your jeep
