I mean if the jeep is all original and unrestored but in good condition, of which quite a few where I am are, this shouldn’t be done especially so without roll cage but if the jeep has had work done to it then it should be safe and jeeps are allowed to stretch their legs every now and then especially old flat fenders
if it was good enough for the greatest generation of all time, its good enough for me and if the thing every breaks you can prob fix it with a piece of wire, a screw driver or a pair of pliers
You get similar advantages out of old subarus. Small and light is such a valuable trait when offroading, we had an old VW Bus that would pull crazier shit offroad than a lot of 4x4 SUV's will do now.
@@russetwolf13 ya, it seems that a lot of old technology is more resilient and capable than all the new crap that they want to sell us. I can fix an old Jeep on the side of The road. New vehicles, you need a tow truck and a analyzer. Garbage if you ask me. You won't see any restoring these computerized plastic vehicles.
@user-or9vi8nf7l I'm not saying I have that stuff, my jeep has 29 in tires and has never gotten stuck. Take it off road all the time. Never gotten stuck
They were designed to go anywhere and they do. Had a buddy with a Korean vintage willys and he was always pulling monster trucks from stuck situations. Then to add shame, go into the same hole and out in 2wd. [add] I had a '77 CJ-5 and it also went everywhere I pointed it. No mods. Loved the way mine would drive itself. I see you guys having fun with that too. Wish I still had it now.
I went places in my 66 Ford half ton 2 wheel drive that 4x4 guys would say how did you get here. Went places in a 77 Nova that 4x4 s were afraid to go learn to drive.
These jeeps are one hell of a lot tough to drive,as all of the operating systems are manual, steering, breaking, clutch timings for gear transmission etc. But the best thing about these jeeps is indestructible.
They shouldn't be in museums because they're all restored anyway so it's nothing special to look at. Same thing with my car. Its nothing special, just because it's 72 doesn't mean jack. Its rusty and creaky and falling apart with 30% of the car being Bondo, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. When I die it's getting donated to a museum though. I can't let anyone else have her. Too many morons would drop a big block in there and fuck it up
I recognize your name and Jeep from when I used to watch videos on Willys. I had a Comanche fall into my possession... so I'm building that, but what I'd like to have is something like yours. Would you mind sharing what upgrades your lil 4x4 has such as gears, lockers, etc, or a general build list? Thanks 🙏 And Merry Christmas 🎅 Edit: I just found your modifications video.
Seeing that jeep in the snow having fun, reminded me of the willy's my dad had. He would go to work me and my brother would get it out and do the same things. I really enjoy this old iron work horses.
Great video! Brought back some good memories of playing with Jeeps. I had a ‘66 CJ 5 with the 225 v6. My brother had a Land Cruiser.. We had lotsa fun.
My Dad used to say, "Those old Jeeps do a lot better with half a squad lifting and pushing them." : D (He had the job of teaching new G.I.'s how to field drive M38A1's.)
LOL the first shot is almost taking out the cameraman and the second is clearly a mormon church, a place i like to go everytime it snows for the exact same reason he did, snow donuts!! hehe its clear at least some of this was shot in UT, for sure the rock crawling part
I had a 1960n Square fender pickup with a Super Hurricane flathead six cylinder That in low range would climb anything short of a brick wall, loved the pickup had to get rid of it for family reasons I paid 200 for it in Montana put a clutch in it sold it in Phoenix 3 yrs later for $1000.I sold it in 1988 and I still miss that truck to this very day.
I've always wanted to meet the people that thought the humvee would be a replacement for the jeep. There would be much pointing and laughing. To be fair, though, as long as the military never leaves deserts the humvee is fine. Just don't let them near trees or streams.
My dad was in the service. A commander was bragging abouy how humvees can go anywhere. Alls he said "ive seen willys jeeps go places 4x4 trucks couldnt go, you really wanna brag" he tried to take it down a small trail and burried it. Had to be towed out. Never underestimate a willys jeep.
The 80's humvees are pretty good though, the woodland camo ones, I've seen some of those shits do crazy stuff. Even the ambulances 😂 you can get them for around $4000
I grew up out in the country on Lake Dallas and the Sabine river in East Texas. Me and a bunch of friends would spend our weekends camping, fishing, hunting and playing in the mud and there might have been a little alcohol involved after the sun went down, but probably not much because we were underage. lol
I had a 1952 or3 model 4 74 2 door wagon that would climb a grade so steep that the front wheels would start to fall off the ground, (almost back-flip)
3:15 - 3:23 Forerunner of today's self-driving cars. Most of the soldiers in WWII had never even seen a 4WD vehicle, let alone driven one. Can you imagine how astonished they were when they learned the capabilities of that little Willys jeep? (And yes, they are tiny compared to most of the 4WD vehicles built in the twenty-first century.)
For everyone who dreams of having one, it doesn't have to be a dream. I searched many years in Florida to find the one I have, I might even part with it for the right price. Most of them available are either expensive or beaters, but you pay for what you get.
Get ready for a bunch of crybabies... haha
@The Weapon Collection with no roll cage the lack of seat belts is a safety feature. Gotta be ready to jump ship
I mean if the jeep is all original and unrestored but in good condition, of which quite a few where I am are, this shouldn’t be done especially so without roll cage but if the jeep has had work done to it then it should be safe and jeeps are allowed to stretch their legs every now and then especially old flat fenders

@@lancekreis3645 unless a part actually breaks, good luck spending $709 bucks for a part sent from San Bernardino that'll get here in 5 weeks
Hey man the only thing that would be cryable is if these shits were original, clearly al of them were restored or fucked with so it doesn't matter
When someone tells me their Jeep has been driven by an old man has been pampered its whole life, this is what I am think it looks like.
I owned a 1947 CJ-2A in the 80s. They have some real advantages over larger 4x4s. My friend had a 1949 CJ-2A. We had a lot of fun with those Jeeps.

It warms my heart to see these old jeeps being enjoyed!
ditto!
I guess I don't need a 6 in lift and 30 light bars to go off roading!
Learn how to drive

Get another one. I want one of these babies .Pure FUN !

Willys: The Third Reich couldn't stop us! So what's a little dirt and snow?
well ... they had the VW 166 "Schwimmwagen" ...
@@doncarlo5 we also had the Ford GPA
Makes me want to get my Willys running again. Thanks for the video!
These jeeps are one hell of a lot tough to drive,as all of the operating systems are manual, steering, breaking, clutch timings for gear transmission etc. But the best thing about these jeeps is indestructible.
They are not difficult to drive, I own 3 Jeeps and one of em has 4 stick shifts in it, they're fun to drive....
You'd be surprised many of these have power steering and disck brakes
this is what willys are made for, keep up the good work and keep those cars out of museums

I traded a running Rambler for a 72 cj5 with no drivetrain. Woohoo!
@@xmo552 makes sense. Jeep brand was owned for a while by AMC, the parent brand of Rambler.

I had a ‘66 CJ 5 with the 225 v6. My brother had a Land Cruiser..
We had lotsa fun.
Cool, I had a ‘67 CJ 5 with the 225 V6, lots of FUN with it
@The Weapon Collection
How's that 401? I'm thinking of swapping one into my bro's 1954 Chevy car.
My Dad used to say, "Those old Jeeps do a lot better with half a squad lifting and pushing them." : D
(He had the job of teaching new G.I.'s how to field drive M38A1's.)
now i get the concept they Willey is like a horse ,it is as brave as you are.
Small wonder Jeep’s became so popular after the war.
And remain so.
Modern jeeps are not comparable to the Willy's the front axle is so far up you can clear anything
Fun video! Really makes me want an old willys
Fun stuff! Good to see a 3B in there.
the jeep driving itself got me thinking of mader da dawg truck💀
honestly I quite like the sound of the engine on these older jeeps
41 willys cars also come with this engine
Bam Bam is so very recognisable 😃
Oh yeah! I’ve seen it plenty of times in 4WOR and four wheeler magazine! And on RUclips, of course
Bam Bam goes against the laws of physics...
Legendary!!!
These jeeps are in my opinion the best car ever manufactured in the world
Awesome! LOL reminds me of my younger days! So much fun
Loved the Ghost Willy at 3:17
Willy? It’s pronounced will-us
LOL the first shot is almost taking out the cameraman and the second is clearly a mormon church, a place i like to go everytime it snows for the exact same reason he did, snow donuts!! hehe its clear at least some of this was shot in UT, for sure the rock crawling part
The church was down the road from my duplex in college. You are correct on the Utah part - Moab
My best friend is on his third Porsche. I'm on my third Jeep. He likes to go fast. I like to go anywhere.
That gear whining never gets old
That's great to see all of videos, you are and your Willys Jeeps are incredible good, guys!
Tough, rugged, reliable simplicity, the Willys Jeep.
Виллис, величайший джип всех времён и народов.
What about lada niva
And that thing can be disassemble and assembled by the US Army in just under 20mins 😂

Cool Video. Love those old Jeeps
Any of these jeeps have the seat conversion to mount it further back? My dream is to own a flatfender but I’m 6’6” and not thin
You can cut the fender wells. A CJ3A has 2" more room than earlier models.
Just went passed a place today there along the road was a trencher on a jeep
Are these all equipped with the original 4 cylinder engines? Amazing performance, thanks for posting.
Most of them yes
Cool, saw some footage from the Badlands off road park
Sproutin' Willys wood here.

Me and a bunch of friends would spend our weekends camping, fishing, hunting and playing in the mud and there might have been a little alcohol involved after the sun went down, but probably not much because we were underage. lol
I wish they would make jeeps this small again
A good representation of every 19 y/o in 1940+ Europe
🤣🤣 good fun bro! I love the school bus toy hauler
Would love to have a Willys MB but I don’t have the space or money as I’m working on finding a place to put my car currently.
This is jeeping ! Old school jeeps . Start it and send it!

1:32 He’s spraying for mosquitoes
This is like seeing an old muscle car rippin down an dirt road. Love seeing old iron doing what it was built to do
I love this babies. The most basic is the most reliable.
Possibly the toughest 4 x 4 ever made.
JEEP! The honey badger of the auto world. ZERO FUCKS GIVEN!
the willys really are incredibly capable little cars
I had a 48 Willys I drove to school every day. It was indestructible.
Unmatched untouched unrivaled king of off-roading JEEP baby the land rover recovery vehicle.
I did have a 1942 Ford Jeep at one time till I rolled it off a side of a hill. I wish I still had some times !!
A Ford jeep?
Yes ford made Jeeps for the U.S Military during WW 2
i want one now! I mean always have wanted one!
We had a 1942 Ford jeep-great fun for neighborhood kids, too.
this was awesome!
My son rolled the commando I built for him when I drag raced him in the back parking lot when the snow was 2'deep with a stock cj5. True story 😃
My back is killing me just watching this!
1:50 my favorite. so dang cool
Camp blanding Florida I was in Florida ng 124 infantryman we were off duty. Had fun with jeeps
Having driven a WWII Jeep, a C-J, and a modern Wrangler, I think I could have just as much fun in a new Jeep Wrangler Willys edition.
No way, any Jeep newer than 1985 is junk....
A lotta these are at Badlands in Attica right? I been there a few times looks familiar.
Yep!
Nothing like them Ol' Willy's. I had a 1955 model.
Which ndt tires are on the military/bambam? 7.50 16 they look larger that some others...
I believe 7.50-16 with custom leaf springs and shocks.
wonder how many flat head fours still running
Willys Jeeps are indestructible machines!
admit it guys, we all just watched a bunch of guys playing with their willys
Nothing you guys can do to them can’t hurt them more than World War II did
Willys up that near vert wall was something else…
3:15 - 3:23 Forerunner of today's self-driving cars.

So was the lowly little Jeep of WW2 indeed one of the unsung heroes of that conflict? Did any other nation in WW2 have anything like the Jeep?
Wooohoooooo these things look Soo much fun
Gramps still getting it
They were one hell of a great truck
Insane!
For everyone who dreams of having one, it doesn't have to be a dream. I searched many years in Florida to find the one I have, I might even part with it for the right price. Most of them available are either expensive or beaters, but you pay for what you get.
Which Moab trail was at 8:38?
Believe it or not my actual dream car
My dad was in the army in the 80s these could go anywhere he once told me he did the four wheel drive coarse in two wheel drive
I am 21, probably 60 years younger than these rigs, but I want one badly!
Que aparatos mas bien construidos , muy balanceados , livianos y como suben de bien . Y pensar que fueron diseñados en los 40 .💯👏👏👏
I've got 27 of em in my back pasture maybe I should get one running
Luego de ver estas imágenes calculo que somos muchos los que terminamos amando a los jeeps, me encantaría contar con uno.
I like this vehicles being operate in special terrains man made for competition, but not affecting " NATURE " 👽
4:55 And this my son, is how I met your mother.
The best jeep ever made. Willys and Ford GPW still rules! 👍👍
All modern 4x4s can trace their linage back to the Austin A7
Old Willy's mounts Toyota Tercel... Jeep Compass is born
What about the "stairs run"? I once watched this by a Willys.
Where to get one of those
There isnt much to add. Perfect vehicle for the job. Bet the guys in WW2 loved them too.
Jeep❤
Sweet..I'm still working on bubbles my 47 cj2a...
That's how you drive a jeep!
BROTHERS!
