« Family Crest: Jeep
That’s a lot of Jeep in one family, which
makes Doug Campbell pretty, pretty,
pretty happy. “My first Jeep was a ’13
Jeep Wrangler JK Unlimited. Dad followed
nex t with an ’0 5 diesel Lib er t y.” In this
photo what you’ll spy are his wife Karen’s
’15 JKU, Dad’s ’04 LJ, sister Ann’s ’06 LJ,
and son Ian’s ’92 YJ. “My ’98 was broken
at home. Jeeping keeps us together and
ensures that none of us b e c ome indepen-
dently wealthy.”Always Gun It »
Dick Williams sent this doozy of his ’54 CJ-3B strik-
ing a post-action pose. “I have done this trail before a
numb er of times. My younges t son was with me, f ir s t
time in 5 0 year s that he joined me,” says Dic k. So right
away, you know this story isn’t going to end well. We’ll
let him tell it anyway. “We had to make a right-hand turn
as we were climbing a steep hill. A deep rut and tree
roots were on the right side of the trail. I started to go up
the rut and the left front wheel came off the ground.”
He backed up and tried a different line and then did the
same exact move again. The solution was to do the
attempt yet again—this time with gas. “It went higher
on the left front and laid over on its right side. I spilled
a little gear oil from the transfer case, but nothing
else.” A few sheetmetal scars didn’t prevent them from
finishing up the trail—son intact.Camp Jeep »
Andrew Smigelski took us down
memory lane for this daily double: “First
pic ture is of my ‘grampa’ (Clare Sk iba)
sitting in his favorite Willys Jeep at
camp.” The ’48 Willys was a favorite for
everyone, actually—especially for rides
through the woods at camp. “Second
picture is my uncle (CJ) with friends and
family t ak ing ‘grampa’s’ Jeep for ride in
the woods when ‘grampa’ is not out to
camp. Most of the time the ride turned
into a walk bac k to c amp for supplies to
get the Willys unstuck. Great memories
are made
in Jeeps.”OCTOBER 2019 jpmagazine.com Jp 81
