The horn reminds me of Gen. George S. Patton’s entrance in the 1970 movie

Ответитьbuilt for purpose. not for show. you forgot to mention all the tools attached on the side for busy people to get the job done
Ответитьthe speedometer bounced the entire drive. might want to get that fixed sooner or later. The parts are still being used on current day jeeps id think
ОтветитьIntresting thing avout willys jeep , that ford were involved in the manufaturing and also there only a few that have the ford trafemark at the back , saw ones of those at santoft , when I went to the trolley buse musem with my volunteer group yorkshire transport musem in a 1963 routemaster.
ОтветитьYou mentioned comfort and said "its not a land rover". But. more accurately, you could have said "its not a jeep wrangler'". 🙂
ОтветитьI've got one, very important piece of history!!!
ОтветитьYou call it a car but technically it's a truck. It is classified as a one and quarter ton truck with quarter ton carry capacity. Source: Encyclopedia Britannica
ОтветитьThe landrover was made later on as Britains jeep.
ОтветитьI wish I could have this 😔💔
ОтветитьA classic historical manor house looking at mass produced jeep, "Americans!"
Ответитьditch the sieren,,,, how anoing to the audiance ---rude !!!!
ОтветитьGreat Jeep
ОтветитьWhen I lived in New Guinea in the very early 1960's we found an army dump with some of these vehicles covered in a Vaseline type goop. We would take one and scrape off all the jelly, re-wire (very complicated grin) and replace all the rubber tubing and put new tyres on and sell them. I wonder if the army dump is still there because there were still a few left as well as handguns, ammunition and barrels of petrol. Great video Ian.
ОтветитьI'm from the Philippines and most of that jeeps where converted into a public transportation vehicle known as the Jeepney.
ОтветитьClassic Willys Jeep 👍❤
ОтветитьI would love own one they are better and beautifull then new shitty steroids modern lazy tech easily crash cars
ОтветитьMy first vehicle was a Willy's CJ2A which was the civilian version of that Jeep. I thoroughly enjoyed the snot out of it. That engine noise brings back some great memories. Thanks for the ride along.
ОтветитьYet another vehicle that could quite easily be manufactured to original specifications and would sell like hotcakes
ОтветитьI have a 1942 Ford Jeep that I have had since 1977 here in the U.K ..Still going strong 😉
ОтветитьAllegedly, the word Jeep comes from the acronym GPV, or general purpose vehicle. In the same way, humvee comes from the acronym HMV, or high mobility vehicle.
ОтветитьI remember the first time I decided to let mine loose with her completely reconstructed engine. Switched to 4 wheels drive with low gear, I swore I could have climbed a wall.😂
ОтветитьThe electric wipers where never fitted to 1944 jeeps they where hand operated
ОтветитьCool car/truck/tractor/thingy. Is the gun for extreme road rage?
Ответить"CHASMS of disappointment"! 😂 New phrase of the year. Wonderful.
ОтветитьWonderful. I've owned a number of pre Chrysler Jeep vehicles. With simple maintenance they will last a lifetime.
Ответить😃
ОтветитьAbsolutely love these military Willys Jeeps. I have an '05 TJ Rocky Mtn with the amazing AMC 4.0 I6 engine and it's by far the best vehicle I've had. As you might be aware, the TJ is the last true generation of Jeep. And a lot of Jeepers consider the TJ to be the best generation, and I agree. My grandfather and his brother were a WWII combat Army medic and tail gunner/foot soldier respectively.
Jeep had an amazing run from '41 - '06. My favorites are the Willys MB, CJ-7 Laredo, CJ-8 Scrambler and my '05 TJ Rocky Mtn. I don't consider the "product" made from '07 - present as Jeep. I refer to those as Heep, total rubbish, plastic techno refuse. And incidentally, it's pronounced Willis, not Willys, his name was John North Willys. Greatly enjoyed this video!

'41 - '06
The name 'Willys' used to amuse me. 😁
ОтветитьCuriously timeless design. You wouldn’t think it was nearly 80 years old. Seems to run very well!
ОтветитьThe Jeep is such an American icon. They were designed to be very easy to work on and it did not take much to get them running. Simplicity was the key and these things could go almost anywhere and be highly abused and it would come back wanting more. However there were some less idea aspects of it. The thin padded seats made it feel like somebody was punching you in the back when you went over a bad bump. The steering could be an issue with some as there was no power steering and it was some times harder to turn. Most folks I know with these have a Brodie Knob (also called a necker knob) on the steering wheel to help with turns. The horn should be that little button on the steering wheel (on top of the nut)
I am a big fan of the first Gen Wrangler (YJ) with its square headlights. Of course I am sure Hubnut might take issue with the fact that YJ's have the wipers resting against the windshield when turned off instead of below the windshield like most vehicles. (However that gave the wipers a wide arc and made visibility in the rain top notch)
I do love these a great looking and sounding 4x4.
ОтветитьI think they are the convoy lights below the headlamps, and there would be some at the rear too. They are an interesting detail in themselves.
ОтветитьMy uncle worked on an estate in Scotland. Where he looked after one of these. He once told me that Prince William and Harry went AWOL on a grouse shoot in it, back in the 90s. He showed me it once on a visit.
ОтветитьA fantastic piece of history, Ian!
ОтветитьThe driveline whine and engine note of a Jeep is music for me.
ОтветитьWent to a friend's wedding in the Domus. Was pretty special.
ОтветитьI would love one of those, simplicity at it's finest.
ОтветитьI’m just back from Philippines and I think they’re still building them there.
Mostly as Jeepneys - hugely extended wheelbase / a great a very sociable public transport vehicle, but also the occasional short wheelbase.
I sight to see.
I think Hubnut would really love some of the vehicles out there. Suzuki Carry - a kei car van that also comes in pickup truck or multicab - two rows of benches facing each other in the back - good for eight passengers plus one in the front.
Great video, you always look like you are having a bit good fun. These were bought by fellows in the early 1970s, but they didnt keep them long, juicier than a clapped out Jag! Peace be unto you.
ОтветитьAnother great test drive video from Hubnut. It is great to hear the history behind such a great iconic vehicle & then be treated to a test drive as well.
ОтветитьLove Ian describing cars features.
