Thanks for the compliment. I have a Hemi JK and a well equipped TJ but they pale in comparison to the old Willys. In fact I have both up for sale because they are just not as much fun as the Willys although the ride to the trail head can be a bit of an adrenalin rush.
You can always rent a jeep in Moab and check them out before buying. They have some decent Rubicons with 33s and lockers at both ends. There are so many rigs to check out though you go a little crazy
That's called a spotter he's there to prevent you from damaging your vehicle/yourself and also to assist you in conquering the terrain with ease. The spotter is usually a friend it's no big deal.
A very simple set up. Springs are 4" lift Jeep Wrangler axles purchased from Currie Enterprises. The springs are spring under which gives phenomenal off camber ability.
Last year was my first Safari with the Willys but I have been to Moab many times with my TJ and JK. The Willys performed far better than both and was a hundred times more enjoyable to drive and see the Canyonlands in.
@Willys1948CJ2A - They did a pretty decent job on the rocks but lousy on the highway. The Willys is mostly used in the midwest where the Boggers are the only way to go. I would have preferred something much less aggressive for Moab but I used what I had.
Love the video and your monster Willlys I re-watch this view every few months. sharing one from our club called "flying willys" 1946 Willys CJ2A Dauntless v6: Flying Flatty at Ma and Pa Rockers Off-road Park
You know what else takes the fun out of off roading? Flipping and or damaging your vehicle and thus not being able to complete the whole trail. When you travel on highly difficult to conquer terrain you need a spotter to ensure you're making the right move
@dgbsco I have a JK Unlimited that's up for sale. It's too big, too heavy and the visibilty is horrendous. So bad you need a spotter for just about every obstacle. Just got to love the Willys where you sit up high and can always see 3 tires.
@allenzproductions I do indeed but the system will not let me post my web site. It's in the credits of the video at the very end. Add a dot com to the end of Jeepingoffroad

I just purchased a 1942 Ford Jeep and am interested in knowing what you did as I'd like to at some point in the very near future start modifying mine. Thanks!
Good decision, you will have a lot of fun with it. My complete specification sheet is on my web site at www.jeepingoffroad.com/willys-mb-build-up/specifications/index.html
Funny....we call them spotters up here as well, strange how that is. Like I said takes the fun out of off roading when someone is telling you where to point your jeep and what line to pick...just saying.

I can't recall ever seeing a jeep tackle moab in such a calm cool effort .
That is absolutely the most beautiful Jeep I’ve ever laid eyes on
Thank you
I wish they still had the windshield fold down like these. So sweet to see you crawling in the grandfather of them all.
That jeep is awesome. And that spotter.... other people on youtube would kill for someone that's actually good like him.
Damn your jeep looks awesome! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride.

Wow its a beast
I got your point, no need to make it again.
Once again nice Jeep
The Wrangler windshields still do fold down, it's just more involved than before.
