- 1960 CJ6 Fire Jeep
-
For those of you interested in in Fire Jeeps, here’s a pretty sweet looking CJ6 version currently on EBay.
The auction description reads:
The Village of Saltaire is auctioning a vintage 1960 4x4 Willys Jeep Fire Truck. The vehcile was purchased new in 1960 and was used as a front-mounted pumper by the Saltaire Volunteer Fire Company, located on Fire Island, New York. It has 1,645 original miles, all very light use. It has been used almost exclusively as a parade vehicle for more 20 years, and has been recently restored. It is an extended bed version, which was used to hold the hose. The engine and body are in excellent condition. It is only being sold because we have run out of space in the firehouse.

- Internal Power Plug
-
One of the casualties of a simple dash was the lack of a good spot for a power plug. With the use this Jeep will see the fewer cords hanging from the dash and getting in the way of the shifters the better. So I came up with this spot to mount another power plug. The plug is a nice stainless steel version that I picked up at a boat shop.

- Rocker Guards
-
The brown Santa Claus just dropped off the last “big” thing I needed for SSDutch - the rocker guards. These are from Off Your Rockers - and I’m really happy with the whole experience. I had these on my CJ5 as well - they’re very stout and reasonably priced. I bought these “unfinished” as I need to trim them on the trailing edge so that they don’t interfere with my fender flares.

- Two CJ6’s on the Same Trailrun
-
The west-coast crew of EarlyCJ5.com recently had a trail run on the Big Bear Trail in California with 2 CJ6’s in attendance. Unbelievably (to me anyway), no one seems to have gotten a pic of the two together! Here’s one - a very stock 1966 CJ6 owned by by Jim S. from South California. It’s sporting some rollcage sections and rocker guards installed fresh for the occasion.
