    He folks enjoying all your videos. All scenic places all beautiful mountains great adventure and great relationships among participants. Today I am 72, when I was young 22 I loved western movies, John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cliff and Kirk Douglas. They all were riding horse back and places were very scenic as you folks driving. Enjoying your videos, thanks again.

    Great camera work!
    Most of the United States citizens who entered military service during WWII had never even SEEN a 4WD vehicle before being introduced to the army jeep. Try to imagine how astonished they were to discover how capable it was.
    I realize that most of the vehicles in this video were built post-war but the mechanical designed had changed very little from the army-issue jeeps.

      I saw no significant improvement on this type of trail. In fact, if you look closely at Grandpa's Jeep's front tires, they are bald. He didn't seem to have any problems. The siping/cutting is a benefit on the wet road and in the midwest dirt and mud. Not so much in Moab MHO. Stan and I were both running 8 psi.

  • @neilwatson9581
    @neilwatson9581 5 лет назад

    I would ask a question or two but there doesn't seem to be any answers to any of the questions asked already. so I'll make a statement: yes, these machines have difflocks, probably truetrac type rather than air or electric locking type - their owners should confirm. At least one seems to have no centre diff lock in the gearbox as evidenced at 23:35 to 23:40 and 23:51 to 23:53 - the front and rear axle cannot find drive even though both wheels of each axle have grip (so axle diff-locks but not gear box lock). And having been 'off-roading' (or I think you call it 'wheelin'') in the 'states, I see that these JP's don't have any idea of cross / diagonal bracing of their roll bars / cages. If those vehicles with a roll bar fitted were to lie down sideways, the roll hoop will fold flat sideways, giving NO protection to the front seat occupants. They MUST have a diagonal brace tube from driver side top corner to passenger side lower corner at the very least. Better would be to also have a diagonal brace tube from passenger side top corner to driver side lower corner - this is what is known as a 'cross brace' because it forms a cross ('X') when viewed from the front or rear. This is not triangulation. And the Jeep GRMPS S48 should have its rear hoop supports running from the highest point of the hoop (the top two corners) to the lowest point on the chassis without any bends. Bends are weakness. Bends in straight tube = collapse points. Anyway. Other than this, I think this is FANTASTIC and I wish these guys all the best. Well done to you all. Keep the shiny (and slightly bent and knackered side) up. cheers from the UK.

    • @hecanseeme8210
      @hecanseeme8210 5 лет назад

      Most of these have no roll bar except the yellow one and gramps. What you see are supports for the cloth top. As for the need for a diagonal brace, I have been on my roll bar upside down many times with no brace. I think you are thinking of high speed situations where forces on the roll cage are much more severe.
      The center differential on these have independent front and rear lock engagement, twin stick. Some of the early cj2 and CJ3b had a pto for farm implements as well. This was done for the flexibility to go front or rear drive. Many of your older land rovers copied this for the defender and until the nineties at least, the discovery. The are using brake torque to mimic limited slip diff in the front and rear.

    • @haywoodjay385
      @haywoodjay385 5 лет назад

      Most of the old Jeeps have manual locking hubs to lock the diffs. And your over thinking the cage. These trucks weigh 2400lbs +/- . No need for hard core bracing.

    • @supersami7748
      @supersami7748 6 лет назад

      Grenvile Rebello if you watch Bam Bam carefully he looks to be locked up both ends. The rear end because of the flange on the full float would tell me it’s the stock Dana 23 with a lunch box locker. I was able to catch a couple glimpses at the front axle and it appears to be a narrow track drum brake Dana30, several automatic lockers available for the 30. I believe I’ve seen him on several slow technical climbs have the gear shift lever in the forward position. That and he seems to be able to putt slow slowly tells me he has a granny low 4 speed. The flat fender with the cute pup the front axle looking at it has no 6 bolt drive flange and appears to be a unibearing axle which would require considerable modification. I just ran across this groups videos when I was in Moab, I’m there every year for EJS and if I see them I’m definitely going to try and talk to them.
