    That is an amazing collection, thanks for posting the pictures! Did you restore all of them yourself?

    As others have said, very nice Jeeps and that's a pretty sweet shop. It's well organized too.
    The PTO-looking winch on the back of the pickup is interesting.

    No. I did the Traveller with some help from Paul at Willys America. And Paul did the FC for a customer who I bought it from. l bought the others done. It just takes to long and it is cheaper to buy them all done, unless you can do everything your self.

    Thanks, the shop came out nice. It is a Barndominium but it isn't big enough. I keep on buying more jeeps. I am looking for a CJ-6 all done if anybody knows where one might be.

    Had to look up what a barndominium is, and that's pretty cool. It's something my young brain conceived, and I didn't know it was an actual thing. Kinda want one for a first house as I can't really build rock crawlers in a 2-car garage, although my original plan was to buy a bare shop and build up rooms as I earn money.

    It's worked out really well. When you do decide to build a barndo or just a shop. What you think is big enough. Add at least half again more. They are never big enough

    I thought the green wagon was just a Parkway, not even thinking it might be a Traveller, or is it the blue wagon? I can’t tell much about the blue wagon from a front-on view. Does the traveller have flat-topped inner rear fenderwells, and do you have the roof-mounted spare tire? I have a Parkway, but have only ever seen one Traveller. I would love to see more details of th3 Traveller. You also forgot a photo of the third (yellow) CJ3B.
    What an outstanding collection of vintage Jeeps, from the best era!

    All beautiful Jeeps. The green and white wagon and blue and white pickup really grab my attention. Man, thanks for posting these.
    A very nice collection indeed. You are saving history.

    Thanks Donny. The yellow is a 64 that I have had for over 40 years. It was my jeeping jeep. It has a small block chevy and turbo 400 trans. Jeeped that for a long time with 3 little kids in the back.
    Thanks Donny. The yellow 64 3B I have had for over 40 years. It was my jeeping jeep for a long time until I built a CJ-8. The Traveller was a long term project, which took about 7 years to finish. It was originally a Border Patrol rig out of CA. I found it in Arkansas in pieces and put it back together. It has a factory spare tank which is pretty rare. I put the PTO winch on and overdrive.

    Thanks
    That's my goal. Trying to get every model in that era. Looking for a nice CJ-6 and a 2A or 3A

    My ‘57 Parkway has an auxiliary fuel tank under the floor/outside the frame on the left side. It uses a filler recess “borrowed” from a CJ let into the side panel between the door and rear wheel opening, protruding right at the inside floor level. I assumed this was done by a prior owner. Does this match your factory auxiliary tank?
    Thanks for the detail photos of the Traveller. I don’t have to tell you how rare those are, especially with the factory roof mounted spare tire (that is alway missing). It looks like the wind deflector is there too. High roof with 1-piece windshield, so I’m guessing a 1960?.
