CJ6 Big Red Comes to Papa

by Willem

I grew up in and around a '52 Willys pickup. Naturally my first car was another.

My own was rebuilt while I was at school, but I had to sell it to pay for university. It took me many years before I could get another jeep of my own and I wanted an unmolested one.

Mid 2010 while trawling the internet I found this peaceful CJ6 (ex-SA army) waiting patiently for me, and now the rest is history.

Me and Big Red are now buddies - why Big red?... because I can!

Unfortunately, spares are hard to find and outta sight expensive here at the bottom end of the Dark Continent...


Larry's Comment: Willem...your CJ6 is obviously not the U.S. version.

What, if any, can you tell us regarding the origins of your Jeep. Is it Mahindra...Korando...conversion...or...???

Also, what motor and drive train is in it? Is it four wheel drive or 2 wheel drive?

Thanks
