Since you do restoration I was wondering if you may have any leads or suggestions where I might find a canvas half cab for my 47 cj2a? Thank you in advance for your time.
I am surprised this video is getting so many hits. Thanks! The 3B “X98”, and the MB with summer top “BAM BAM”, are both running 750-16 NDTs @8-9 psi and had little difficulty on the trail. There are more modern tires that may give you an advantage but the NDTs are not as bad as some would think. Check out some of my other videos. Lots of NDT tire footage on recognized trails. Thanks for watching :)
I like this video in particular. Seeing how well they do with low traction surfaces rather than dry rocks. They still do really well. Especially with lockers.
I am having a great time watching this "flat fenders" rule the terrain... I wish I could afford one of these era of Jeeps or Willys's, Not so much to off road it, rather, to have as my daily driver around town... I would really enjoy putt-N around, with the windscreen folded down...
The best 1/12 scale willys MB/GPW model, FMS made it is not just for display, got almost real 2 speed gear box , transfercase, leaf spring, all working light and steering wheel, metal chassis, metal running gear, for off road and up the 45 deg slope.Price Inc all parts you need and RC system and battery and charge.
Off-roading was also a fun time, that is until it became a tireless job of digging one's 4x4 out of the mud, or having to pull numerous 4x4's behind you up a grade or trench, etc. These days, just a smooth sandy country road or trail will keep me happy!
Wow I miss my 52 CJ3A built it from ground up ..from 12-14 n was driving from there on over everything.from kegs to chick that girl stuck by me thru it all n got married and she saw it as a remembrance of my youth.haha..n all the good times...made me sell it ..should seen the sign ..n sold her not my trusty willys think the guy took stock eng..n put a v6 alum .block Buick in her sad sad sad....Fukin sad..but good vid..now I'm go in to find my girl aganwish me good hunting.....
What a bunch of prima donnas afraid to get their prissy little jeeps dirty. Just kidding. Thanks for posting what jeeps can do when driven by those that love em. Great footage
Dear Mr. Jpetrowich, Thank you very much for this *Event, looks like as in real - war conditions However, I have good memories this MB-Jeeps, 1947- as I was 6-years old = our manor property Black-Forest Mountains, were occupied By French Army; as they came permanent hunting our deers and roes our property; in high mountains - but as lazy - not walking - only so far - as jeeps are able to drive, like in your video , but not higher. the animals are so smart - knewing in higher areas - no shooting, also our people learned, so we had had our *Swines - not registered in the Hight's, so be able *black butchered and shooting - our Deers- alone. As the French's would go home with empty hands, so have as primitives - stolen our poultries. But our tenants and our's - had had to smile Later as young man bought a MB and 1972 = a M38A1- with so much fun. With sentiments I'm looking this *Enthusiasts. Wishing you All, health and luck Regards from Germany,
I do not get why some factory/company does not build (let's say) 5000 pcs of '45 Willys (as it was done then) and just sell them as retro/new cars? Then, you have new motor with 0 miles on it, all ready to hit the dirt. Beacause these new Jeep models are far from that what Willys was-bare metal and power. It had to meet Army specs, no AC, radio, heated seats, no sun roof...
Have you seen mahindra's new roxor? Its very similar to the old Willys but with more modern features like a 4cylinder diesel, 5 speed and disc brakes. The only problem is you can't drive it on the road (certain states do allow as long as you have the proper equipment added to it). like the look of the old willys better though.
@@cammedls3532 i know, I saw it, and it looks nice. But it is not Willys... On the other hand, it is cheaper than getting original Willys and then restoring it. ;)
they probably really enjoy the classic experience and challenge as it would have been back in the old school days with their 3" wide bias ply mud tires while "Willys Reunion Wheeling"... they looked like they were doing just fine to me...
i agree that tires can be one of the biggest upgrades for any vehicle. but this was titled "Willys Reunion Wheeling", so i assumed the old school resto is part of the fun, that is why the one guy has lots of unneeded heavy gear and a 50 cal mounted to the jeep. if they were just offroad rigs i would have different tires, roll cage, less army gear, and so on...
Like Mrmrsregor said, we were trying to get the whole vintage experience. The guy with the machine gun was driving an original, stock WWII Jeep. What would it have been like to try and get a Jeep through the Belgian forests in 1944?. And honestly, I have trouble with my JK Rubicon on 37" Swampers through the same trail and when it's as slick as it was.
Watch some of his other videos. His Jeep, Bam Bam, is a freakin' MOUNTAIN GOAT with his military NDT tires. Trust me, he'll embarass you with what he can do with his MB.
Mahindra Roxor is available as low as $16000 , i bought 2019 one and lifted it with a 3inch lift kit. Love the look of it 😍, im trying to make it road legal , will be over soon . They make very good tractors. The engine's got 62hp and 144nm torque but i have seen a video on UA-cam that it can do about 200hp with 400nm torque with the same engine. They have to detune the engine to meet the regulations. Its amazing. I'm planning on doing it on mine too, after putting enough miles on it. I would recommend every one to buy them, it costs not more than a mortarcycle or an ATV and you can look cool 😎. It's bear bones you can modify it as you like. Fiat is sueing them only for the grill and some body parts . As the case proceeds eventually Mahindra is going to win it as of now. Mahindra offers more jeep than Fiat fake ones. They are the only company to open a new plant in Detroit for over 23 years and they are planning to expand their designing hub to Detroit. They are providing jobs for Americans.I fell for it
As a 1944 GPW fully restored (trailer queen) owner, I loved watching these guys use their jeeps for the purpose in which they were intended for.
Since you do restoration I was wondering if you may have any leads or suggestions where I might find a canvas half cab for my 47 cj2a? Thank you in advance for your time.
As a TJ owner these old school jeeps always impress me with how capable they are !
Cool seeing these wheeled as they were intended to be!
Awesome! That’s REAL four wheeling!!
Very kool seeing those old school jeeps doing what they were intended for
I've owned a 1942 FORD GPW, 1945 WILLYS, M38 WILLYS with trailer, and a few Cj'S in between.
Good memories did that in the 50s no shirt no winch no rollbar never tires that good great fun
What a fun trip. I want to join you guys next time. Thanks
love these old jeeps
Awesome. I love these old Jeeps.

*Amazing videos, great thanks to you!!!*
Very cool I was surprised how well they did with those tires
Gutsy guys, I'll only do this if the vehicles got rollbars. Congrats guys!!.

This was really cool! Really cool seeing those old jeeps do there thing.love how original they are.great job to all parties.
So cool! I learned to drive in a 1945 military. These things are so much fun and go everywhere!
You don't know what your talking about.. They will go anywhere, different tires and you would be amazed.
Flat fender life is just the right point of view on my opinion
GREAT UPLOAD
It looks like fun I wish I could find a old willys jeep to ride in the mountains
Look like a lot of fun!!!

Great job Guys ! I would dump the NDT's though ! Either that or use chains with them , as they had to do during the war.

Dear Mr. Jpetrowich, Thank you very much for this *Event, looks like as in real - war conditions
However, I have good memories this MB-Jeeps, 1947- as I was 6-years old = our manor property
Black-Forest Mountains, were occupied By French Army; as they came permanent hunting our deers
and roes our property; in high mountains - but as lazy - not walking - only so far - as jeeps are able to drive, like in your
video , but not higher. the animals are so smart - knewing in higher areas - no shooting, also
our people learned, so we had had our *Swines - not registered in the Hight's, so be able
*black butchered and shooting - our Deers- alone. As the French's would go home with empty hands, so have
as primitives - stolen our poultries. But our tenants and our's - had had to smile
Later as young man bought a MB and 1972 = a M38A1- with so much fun.

Thank you Neale Smith, I will check them out.
Willys
👍👍👍
muy bueno!!! saludos Carlos from Argentina
"how are you suppose to get through that thing?"....uhh I'm pretty sure in WW2 soldiers helped pushed the jeep over slumps
MB had handles on the back corners to give the troops something to grab and push.
i want to go jeeping with you guys you look like you have a lot of fun but i have a cj 7

i would mount a winch on the front
Where is this located? And when are they going again?
Great video! Can't wait to get my 47 out and start wheeling. That being said does anyone out there know where I can get a canvas half cab for my 47?
Beachwood canvas
Jeep cj 7 the original canvas top in 80s...
Tires! Tires! Tires! For the love of god lose the 3” wide bias ply old school mud tires. The thing would be a mountain goat with the right set

The original tyres were bar treads like on the the one with the canvas top
Very good off road tyre but useless on wet paved roads .

yeah if you going 4 wheeling get a warn winch and tools
Does my Mighty Mite fit in . Can I come and play
Don't forget to bring a spare tire to lend out causes YOU can drive on 3 tires if you have to...

What kind of flat fender is that with the CJ5 hood?
Here is the story on that jeep:
www.cj3b.info/X98.html
Looks like a 3b with a 5 hood and grille
Its like a cj4 lol
Great to see muricans driving non power steering, manual transmission vehicles. Also St. Nick packing a big 50cal. instead of a big ol' bag of gifts.
I'm 52. We used to learn manual transmission in drivers ed.
Da fahr ich mit meinem Fiesta, was sind das für Anfänger??????
At times I would have use snow chains:-) LOL
I think the passenger made the difference. (size matters)
Hey nice video where is this place?
It's on a farm on the WV/PA border
2. 41 civilian version?
That is a clone of the experimental X98. A prototype CJ3B
