Thanks for the comments mate. Frame is now stripped of components and now have to start removing all the brackets and cross members etc down to two bare rails. Who knows, might actually start putting something together before years end!

Just to show things are still moving along. Second frame has had everything removed that unbolts.
Only rust so far is in one of the stiffening plates that I wont be needing anyway, so that is good.


Next step is to remove all suspension brackets, cross members and stiffening plates.

That garage has to be a photo shop fake ... I REFUSE to believe a garage could be kept so clean

That's because he keeps only those things he needs and uses, whereas we keep two thirds of things "we might need (one day)" with the one third we really need and make use of. LOL.

Ha ha, very true. But keep my 'might use one day' stuff in 2 other sheds! I am happy to say though that the rest of the Willys drivetrain is being dispersed right around the country keeping other project going. Mind you not all are going into Willys projects as there are bits going into a boat, model T Ford and even a XW original Ford Falcon 4wd!

Amazing that people know how to match and make things from different models.

Yep, your 2 sheds is a good idea. I have only 1 shed for those things but it's still one third empty.

My garage used to be a big mess until one day I had enough. My dad kept on bringing (hoarding) stuff that he "could use one day" and storing it in my garage 'cause he didn't have room in his garage - until I couldn't literally turn around anymore, let alone park my beloved Jeep. When I told him I was gonna clean the sh!t up, he said that he'd come and help me. HAHA! NO thanks.

So I cleaned it - spotless. It was almost empty and my Jeep "felt" very comfy inside. Took out 2 big truck loads of crap "that could've been used one day."

When my dad saw the garage and asked about the stuff, told him that it was at the rubbish tip. I also asked him if he could remember if anything of "his stuff" was missing, guess what, couldn't tell. See! You DON'T need it!!! LOL.

BTW, his garage is still a mess. LOL. "He wants to clean it like mine" he says.
