Awesome a Series 1 had one 6 years, today in my 7th only Series Land Rover, the Series One Land Rover was designed based on Maurice Wilks Willys Jeep in 1947, because the lack of steel post war was made from aluminum.
Love watching old school 4wheeling ❤❤❤❤ I wish everything on UA-cam was as honest and pure as a group of friends exploring this wonderful planet !! Keep safe on the trails and I look forward to your next adventure 👍🏽
Great video, thanks for that 👍. As a Land Rover enthusiast, it’s great to see the Series 1 along side the early Jeep, especially since the Army GP was the inspiration for the Land Rover.
@michaelhector2609 Hi Michael, we don't interact a lot with Land Rovers, but when we do, I include them. We are headed down to Moab in a couple of weeks for Easter Jeep Safari. We should be joined by at least one of these Rover guys there. PS: I lived in Lincolnshire for a bit 25 or so years ago as a member of the US Air Force. I was on an exchange with the RAF at a tiny little base called RAF Digby.
Great to see the older vehicles out there. For spotters, calling out “driver” or “passenger works no matter which way you are facing or what side the wheel is on.
Great to see old iron, jeeps and Landys! If you break your arm sticking it out you can rename your Jeep, “broken wing” be safe out there, thanks for the videos you bring my way👍🏽
Do it !! I drove my 1958 Land Rover series I down from Placerville, along with my friend Jesse in his 1953 model. Lotsa gear whine and tire howl all the way ! We wheeled hard trails for 8 days straight in this beautiful place then drove our antiques home. Just do it!
@@timmcooper294 , that is so cool When is the next event for the older rigs. Your rig is so cool, I love it. What's unique about my 1962, it has slanted doors like a CJ5, not the square doors. Of course jeep sued Toyota, so they only imported 200 1962 models, so I doubt but only a few are still on the road
This starts out like the old TV series of Rat Patrol. Bam Bam seems to geared really low and crawls very well. It is great watching old school vehicles doing hard trails. You gotta be Nuts! is very true for such small wheelbase vehicles.
Thanks for checking in Todd. Blasting around on the sand is fun..... until it isn't. If that blow sand dries out, a slight hesitation with skinny tires and low horsepower and you're stuck.
I remember the days when you pulled into gas station and your jeep had a 102 inch cb radio antenna that would wipe out the flourescent lights. glass raining down. good times! .
Curiosity question, was the Land Rover running a stock drivetrain? Specifically the rear axle? There is a reason for what seem like a silly question. Great vid guys!
Heres all the dope I have on the two Rovers: SweePea" 1953 Land Rover series I 80" USA market model Rover 4 cylinder engine Rover 4 speed transmission Rover transfer case, stock 2.90 low range Stock front and rear axle housings, shaved drain plugs Timmco 1.400" 32 spline front and rear axle shafts Front and rear air lockers, stock 4.71 ratio Stock leaf springs 49:1 crawl ratio "The Penalty Box" 1958 Land Rover series I 88" USA market model Chevrolet 4.8 LS iron block truck engine Chevrolet SM420 4 speed transmission Orion 4:1 transfer case Stock front and rear axle housings, shaved drain plugs Timmco 1.400" 32 spline front and rear axle shafts Front and rear air lockers, aftermarket 3.50 ratio Stock leaf springs 99:1 crawl ratio
Check out the whole story on Jeff's transfer case gears on the CJ2A page. Jeff Petrowich has an excellent write up on his development and testing of them.
SweePea' 1953 Land Rover Series I 80" 80" wheelbase Rover 4 cylinder motor Stock transmission & transfer case (In fact all stock gearing for only 49:1 crawl ratio) Stock axles Manual steering Manual drum brakes 'The Penalty Box' 1958 Land Rover Series I 88" 88" wheelbase LS motor 4 speed transmission Stock Rover transfer case Stock axles Power steering Power disc front brakes, drum rear brakes
I'm the guy driving the "Penalty Box" Like Stan's reply, the green one is mostly stock, just a few upgrades like lockers and fine spline (32 spline 1.400" ) shafts in the stock front and rear axle assemblies. Mine is LS swapped, SM420 transmission, running on the original axles with the same internal upgrades like Jesse's. The stock series axle assemblies (front and rear) are actually a little bigger with a bit more strength potential than legacy (Not M220 JL stuff) Dana 44's Highly under rated.
Like @donhappel9566 mentioned. @timmcooper294 and I drove our Series I Land Rovers there and back after wheeling for 8 days from Placerville South on 99, East on 58, and North on 15 to Hurricane Utah

@@Grampas-jeepwould love to see some more series Land Rover action, here in the uk we don’t have great areas like you have to do this sort of driving.

@@Grampas-jeep Hope you a great journey, would love to see some walk round footage of your group’s vehicles especially a good look at BamBam
It is amazing to watch these small old timers doing running through obstacles on the trail where I saw many huge modern rigs struggle a lot.
You know these are not stock vehicles right?
Love seeing the Series Ones joining you guys.
I've never been around them much. They did very well.
Grandpa's Jeep and Bam Bam are total legends. I admire the "it's a Jeep, and I do Jeep things in it" attitudes.
Thanks. We're having a good time.
These older rigs are fun to watch
and are far best than today vehicles.
Great to see the older vehicles out there. For spotters, calling out “driver” or “passenger works no matter which way you are facing or what side the wheel is on.
Tim Cooper has been building Rovers for quite some time. My favorite was the School Bus 107 S1
We just met him. He was just a guy who joined us to wheel. We had no idea he us a big deal in Rover Land. 😂
Great seeing Cooper and Jesse out in the Series 1s!
So good man!
awesome to see the series trucks floating over obstacles
Had a great time on this run, and every once in a while, we see that Jeff is more than just nuts, he's double nuts !!
Great to meet you and wheel with you.
Great to see old iron, jeeps and Landys! If you break your arm sticking it out you can rename your Jeep, “broken wing” be safe out there, thanks for the videos you bring my way👍🏽
Great stuff, thanks Stan.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love seeing how capable stock and smaller built vehicles are. Great video, as always!
Amazing! Proper old school rigs and great driving skills
Thanks
Great vid ,nicely narrated and fantastic footage .it's really impressive what 70year old jeep can do
Thanks
I live in So Cal, my family is in Hurricane, would love to take my 1962 FJ40 on a vintage rip someday. Long Drive, but looks to be worth the drive.

Wonderful, thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks for the videos. I am happy to see you back on the trails.
goodness, you guys are brave! That first drop looks really frightening in a short wheelbase/no rollbar.
so fun to watch! I really like that "sweet pea"
Thanks
Thank you Mr.Fuller🖖

@@Grampas-jeep I hear that is why Sand Hollow is best in the winter vs the summer time.
Gr8 day! Thx 4 sharing!!
Great day out, looked like a exciting track, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Thanks Don.
i miss my 47 2a. it definitely a thrill off road. i had no locker back then.
I had such an enjoyable time with you guys. Thanks Jeff for letting me drive Bam Bam
We love hanging out with you.
Kevin, you are quite possibly the best spotter I've ever known
@jessecoombs3090 You must not know very many. Lol. Your making me blush.
Those are some awesome rigs I wish to have a nice old jeep to fix up someday keep the videos coming
Thanks!
look at all the suspension travel in the flat fenders. I remember......
Makes me miss my old CJ 5. I have a FJ cruiser now but they cost too much to repair to be that rugged with them. They do it but at a cost.
I drove a old WW2 power wagon for a ski resort to repair lift towers, I was amazed how well it did with solid rubber tires
I remember the days when you pulled into gas station and your jeep had a 102 inch cb radio antenna that would wipe out the flourescent lights. glass raining down. good times!
.
that was pretty cool! thx for posting it
Thanks for watching.
Jeff: "that way, that way, THAT WAY!!!!!" 😂
Great video 👍
Thanks 👍
Great video ... As always ... Blessings
Thanks
Excellent video and narration.
Thanks Robert.
That was crazy FUN !!!!!!
Thanks
Those are cool old rigs, it goes to show the pizza cutter tires are a good choice.
looks like one of the reasons the U.S. Army was able get around northern Africa and Europe so effectively during WW2...
Great fun!
Curiosity question, was the Land Rover running a stock drivetrain? Specifically the rear axle? There is a reason for what seem like a silly question. Great vid guys!
Heres all the dope I have on the two Rovers:
SweePea"
1953 Land Rover series I 80" USA market model

Stock front and rear axle housings, shaved drain plugs
Timmco 1.400" 32 spline front and rear axle shafts
Front and rear air lockers, stock 4.71 ratio
Stock leaf springs
49:1 crawl ratio
"The Penalty Box"

Is there any more information about those low gears for the Dana 18 Transfer case you mentioned? Looking for a lower ratio in my early CJ5
Check out the whole story on Jeff's transfer case gears on the CJ2A page. Jeff Petrowich has an excellent write up on his development and testing of them.
Send Jeff an email. jpet@willysreunion.com
I have a set of Jeff's low gears in my 1942 MB called Brutus, and I love how well they work

I've been wondering if my old jeep could make that run...now, I know it would...but, I don't think I could.
That's often the deal. The jeep can handle things the driver can't. Thanks for checking in.
What are the spect of the Land Rover SI ? Is the car with full Land Rover parts or it is modified ?
SweePea'

@@timmcooper294 Probably worth mentioning that both were driven there from the Sacramento area - not trailered!
Thanks everyone. I really enjoyed this video, and your Landy's !

I learned to drive in an old willys jeep
Awesome. Thanks for checking in.
Love old vehicles mostly, but the Landover , hell no
Джипам нужен каркас
No sound
Sorry. I get sound on all my devices.
The or texture of the video looks like a video game. I know it's not but it looks fake. I guess it's good video with a lot of pixels.
All of these videos were taken with phone cameras. The technology in modern phones. Thanks for checking in.
I put a front hitch on my van.
It's a tow point if i get stuck and I have my bike rack mounted to it.
