      As a foreigner (I'm British) that's what I love about Americans - they're damn proud and not afraid to show it. Whether it's the anthem, the flag or their service personnel (military, law enforcement, fire fighters etc) Americans sure do show respect when called upon.
      O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
      O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave
      Good day America

    In the 70's I owned a M51 Willys pickup. I believe is was a military model. It's original engine had been replaced with a 261 Chev straight six. It had lots of torque and climbing power. It was also geared the same as your Willys wagon. My dad and I used it when we hunted different mountainous places in Washington. There wasn't a place it couldn't go. I got tired of the armstrong power steering so I fabricated brackets and a steering arm to install an Oldsmobile tilt steering wheel and a Buick steering box and pump. I also converted it to a 12 volt system. At the end of our time together, the head cracked and the engine barely ran. I sold it to a former neighbor for $500. He repaired the engine problem, then moved to Arizona where be ran it all over the dunes there. He sold it for about 5 times the price he bought it.
    In the video you mentioned that some of the places rust out on the Willys wagons. But the body metal on my pickup was way heavier gauge than standard auto sheet metal. I had no rusting problems. Did the military vehicles have different standards for body construction?
    I really enjoyed this video. It took me back in time. Also, I was able to relate to your trip home with your wagon and being passed by everyone.

    I had that exact red Blazer shown at 1:35. It was a 1982 with a stick shift. I built a 350 and swapped the trans for an M23. I built the 350 straight out of the Chevy Power Book to the 400 HP spec. I miss that truck but I don't miss the 9 miles per gallon. I sold it when I moved 30 miles outside of Chicago where I worked. Even in the early 90s' the cost to feed it was a little out of hand but it sure was fun when you pushed down on the go pedal.

    Back in about 1952, we helped some same family friends move from Southeast IL to New Albany, IN. They had one of those jeeps as their family vehicle. They had all of their family belongings loaded in the Jeep. The husband drove the Jeep and his wife and 2 kids rode on our Studebaker that my mother drove. Going up those Indiana hills east of the Ohio River, their mother and we kids had to get out and help the Jeep up those hills by pushing it. The Jeep 4 cylinder just did not have the power to make it loaded like it was.

    Clint man, I'm right there with you about changing out those wheels to fifteens maybe as high as sixteen inch and throw on a good set of 42" to 44" in swampers and have a right fun ROW runner. Otherwise, rubber bands just says pavement princess all day and twice on Sunday.
    Though that Land cruiser pick-up, the 79 series by the look of it. That's a gem stateside at least. A fairly rare beast here but common enough in Aussie land, Mid east, Africa, Kiwi country, and a few other places.
    Whew that Power Wagon, would gladly get a sore back to drive that every day. Fuel bill probably wouldn't have it be a daily driver but very certainly a weekend warrior.
