Well that was a lot of fun ! I have topadmit that Stan scared the beans out of me several times . It was pretty awesome to see the old $500.00 Jeep go the same places as the $50,000.00 dollars ones ! Have you heard the expression "Live more Fear less" well Stan certainly lives up to that saying. Thumbs UP to you guys .
Awesome seeing Grandpa's Jeep go through when a lot of other better funded rigs struggle, always great country side, thanks for the video, all the best to yous and your loved ones
That old Willy's is pretty cool I think it's funny how Willie kept right on going really didn't have any issues compared to the newer rigs I thought that was funny that just shows that the older rigs were built better than today is rigs enjoy the video thank you stay safe stay healthy
"Built better" depends on perspective. Those Willy's were built to be light and durable for the little horsepower they had, and nothing more. Modern rigs can cruise the freeway at 70+MPH with the A/C on and complying with current emissions and crash safety standards. That said, I much prefer the Willy's.
Yeah i think for 40,000 plus I'd rather build up a willys or some cj. The simplicity of it, is its reliability. And one thing about these jeeps is you don't need to be sky high to have decent clearance. Lockers would deff help these grand daddy jeeps though. 😆 not the smoothest of ride either , I crawl everywhere here in hawaii
I learned to drive in an old Willys jeep like that, I think it was a ‘49. I remember my skinny nine year old leg shaking trying to hold the clutch in. Everything about that little tank was cramped and stiff, the leg room, the steering, the suspension, the transmission and clutch all took everything I had to operate them. But it was awesome anyway. It never got stuck and it was tougher than old boot leather.
They sure are I really wish the courts didn't get in the way of mahindra making there little diesel jeeps and selling them in america are they still selling in india?

@@aaronmcconnell7358 Yes I have seen many youtube videos of the Roxor in USA and people are having fun with it, and yes you wrote it right. Thankyou :)
@@orangepickel2 Ha ha. I had the sammy out and had the oldest production date and the smallest tires in the bunch and they had me guiding it. So funny when they watch it climb some nasty obstacle. Great Video's by the way love em all. We use to wheel with Milt in his old Flat Fender back in the day. So much fun.
Would love to see a competition between a stock willys and a kubelwagen or a rare type 87 kumandorwagen done at sand hollow both spent time in African deserts in ww2 it be awesome to see em go head to head former enemies having fun as friends lol
Hi David, Thanks for checking in and thanks for the ride. Did you see the awesome blues song that Jeff wrote and performed about that night? ua-cam.com/video/Yh6EI68Yg4Y/v-deo.html

Hi Douglas, I’m not super familiar with how a 3b is equipped as far as axles go. I believe it has the Dana 25 front axle and the Dana 44 rear, both with 10 plane axle shafts. If that is the case then you are very limited as to what lockers you can use. As far as I know the only 10 saline lockers available are the Lock Right automatic (lunchbox) lockers. There are some Power Lok limited slip units around, but they are harder to find and fir me don’t work as well as the Lock Rights. Other guys think the Power Loks are great, but I don’t. I am running Lock Rights in both my axles.
@@Grampas-jeep Do you have the stock original axles? I have a CJ-2A too (Dana 41) and I worry if those 70 years old rear axle could stand a lock.... I have a little bigger tires, but not much bigger than stock ones. Thanks for everything!!! I am a big fan of you and the Grampa's Jeep!! (In fact your videos push me to buy the CJ-2A that i Have!!!).
I am a fan of open diffs. If rock crawling is all your Willys does then lockers are not a bad idea. If your Willys is more of a utility vehicle then open diffs are by far better. Lockers limit your turning radius and tear up your lawn. A locker does increase the strength of the carrier which is the weakest point of a Dana 25 but the best thing about open diffs is the excuse of why you didn’t make it up the hill. I believe that open diffs have magical properties once you understand them. All that aside the whole point is that running these trails in the Willys is fun no matter how it is equipped. I do miss the rear locker because spinning donuts in the snow is so much fun. Even though your Jeep might not be modified for crawling doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy crawling.
We were probably following too close when the trail leader stopped at the top of the dune to make sure it was safe, We had to stop just short of the too and once we tried to move on that sand from a stop, we sank like a rock in a pond. This was the softest I have ever seen the sand at Sand Hollow. There has not been much rain for many weeks there and when that blow sand dries out it’s like baby powder. That having been said, I think we would have made it if we hadn’t stopped on the slope. Thanks for watching.
Wow, what an incredible recovery story ! So glad you made it back to play another day!
Thanks
It’s amazing what good driving and lockers can do. These old trucks rock.
Thanks.
Sir you have balls of steel! Awesome...
What an amazing little vehicle.
Thanks!
I love that haha "your going up that?" "Yup" and just motors up no problem

Speaking to the guy that has a roll bar that scares everyone..
Thanks for your kind words and thanks for watching.
Well..we should put any price tag on that legendary jeep....
OMG! I love grandpa!! Grandpa is an old school four-wheeler gangster. 😎
Speechless
I love seeing the $60k mall crawlers getting schooled by the old guy with no F's in a clapped out farm tractor. :)
Are they really mall crawlers if there bouncing off rocks with no mall in sight ?
😂🤣 this terrain isn’t difficult for the new jeeps.
These old Willies was so much better than these new jeeps .
Damn, Grandpa is FEARLESS!
Amazing off road.
Old man and old jeep both are perfect💪🏻
That is freaking amazing what you can do in that Jeep Sir
Nice little jeep..! Soon as they put creature comforts in the later models these when you lose capabilities. One for the older jeep 👍👍
Awesome seeing Grandpa's Jeep go through when a lot of other better funded rigs struggle, always great country side, thanks for the video, all the best to yous and your loved ones

You better he's been embarrassing everybody with the fancy rock crawlers lol using tires that were designed back in the early 1940s.

Amazing driving!
Nice to see you make it through this time with all 4 wheels in intact! I gave you guys a ride out after that last night run.

Hello
The old's man jeep have diff lock system or not?
Lock Right lockers in both axles. Thanks for watching.
I dont even want to know how much Grandpa's body hurts after days like this!! Who cares about the jeep.
I was with you guys on Friday morning run I was in the black Jeep I was wondering if I could get those pictures that you took that morning
Hey Roy, send me a pm on Instagram and I’ll send you a link. @smfulle
I highly doubt in 70+ years you will see any of today's vehicles out there keeping up with modern rigs but that jeep will.
Flatfenders rules the world
Stan looks like your having a great time ! Be careful. I have a 53 3b what kind of lockers would you recommend I would like your opinion thanks
Hi Douglas, I’m not super familiar with how a 3b is equipped as far as axles go. I believe it has the Dana 25 front axle and the Dana 44 rear, both with 10 plane axle shafts.

I am running stock axles. I have broken a drive axle or two. Part of the price you pay to run the trails we do.
@@Grampas-jeep Thanks! One or two is no much considering the type of use that you give to them. God to know that.

It is a Rock Krawler 3 link long arm kit modified with summit machine joints on the body side.
Does the Willys Jeep have lockers?
Yes. Here’s the full story. ua-cam.com/video/yVU495Xml4I/v-deo.html
weird skies out there
Seems like the old Willys doesn’t like the sand as much as the rocks
