Research the Mahindra Roxor.

Honestly, side by sides aren’t even street legal as well

@@bpeyman68 They are in the Western USA states. I have friends in rural Idaho, Utah, Nevada that all have street driven UTV's. Not in big city's but small town USA out west. The county's that are agricultural or mountain towns allow them.

Lucky-Rowe hmm interesting I’ll have to remember that when I go hunting

Yes , I bought a CJ 5 and used it many years. It's an 80 model with power steering and disk power brakes. 4cylinder iron duke. Super great utility vehicle. It's far from this flat fender Wilys , but for the price and use I've gotten from it , it's served it's purpose well. Plus it'll run the interstate speed and pass cars all day long as well as crawl around in the woods.

There were many manufacturers worldwide that were licensed by Willys and Kaiser to build Jeep products. MD Juan in the Philippines still builds MB, GPW, and civilian CJ bodies and parts, Mahindra of India still builds derivatives of the 'Jeep'.

Thank you, very kind of you to say so.

ha cheers!

I blooming well hope so, it owes me!

@@Greendot319 It's a symbiotic relationship of sorts.

Thank you very much!

Same here. First mil driver's license was for M151, and also where I learned to drive a stick shift. Talk about baptism by fire. LOL

Cheers Jason

Lovely to hear, I hope seeing this one bought back some good memories!

​@@Greendot319not for my dad. He was on mail run in GOOD FRI 1945. GOT AMBUSHED BY WAFFEN SS AND HELD WITH OTHER GIS FORC2 WEEKS. HE HAD A THERMITE GRENADE WIRED TO BLOCK DESTROYED JEEP TO DENY WAFFEN SS TO USE

Thank you!

Thanks a lot, very kind of you to say so

Go for it!

Did the Ford manufactured Jeeps use Ford designed engines, or did they use the same engine (built under license, of course) that the Willy's Jeeps used?

Thank you very much, very kind.

Cheers ;)

That's Great, the jeep is the vehicle to teach kids to drive in! If you can drive a jeep then you can drive anything! cheers! Matt

Cheers Dave

Cheers, too much effort!

Its a crazy driving position, there was a particular injury in WW2 specifically from jeep crashes due to this driving position!

@@Greendot319 I'm over six feet and drive a 'hot rodded' flatfender Jeep. Locating the seat and pedals to optimal position and angles took quite some doing for the best compromise and I've since 'moulded myself' to the available space (including full roll bar). When I drove a very 'stock' original CJ2A (canvas seats, no roll bar, original configuration throughout) with windshield and top folded down, I always felt more that I was riding ON the vehicle rather than in it. Wonderful stuff, those Jeeps. Had lots of fun with them in Northern Arizona. I highly recommend building and driving one with a built up Buick (or Kaiser 'Dauntless') 225 inch 'odd fire' V6.

A tip: watch movies on flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.

@Nikolai Gerardo yea, been watching on flixzone} for months myself :)

@Nikolai Gerardo Definitely, I've been using Flixzone} for since november myself :D

@Nikolai Gerardo yup, I've been using Flixzone} for since december myself :)

She's made to be driven! I know what you mean, its strange to start driving such a 'new' jeep but its what it was made for and I wont abuse it like they used to of course!

@@Greendot319 your jeep so you do what you want to do, a part of me does like what you are doing with it especially with the markings not having them perfect, I love that touch

@@Greendot319 I missed out on buying an excellent WWII Jeep in the early 80's and a couple of 1950's (?) Jeeps, a wagon and a pickup in the late 70's and early 80's and could have recovered a couple wrecked WWII Jeeps from far North Queensland in the mid 80's and I had an opportunity to buy another really good original WWII Jeep in the late 90's, but speaking of brand-new WWII Jeeps my father was a POW at "Sandakan" in North Borneo and testified at the War Crimes Tribunals Rabaul and Tokyo At Rabaul he bought a brand new surplus Jeep for £5 and was arranging with a ship's captain to have it brought back to Australia but the ship sailed before the Jeep could be delivered to the dock and so it was left sitting on the dock when my father left He said the blokes at Rabaul who were disposing of the surplus equipment rode dozens of worthless Japanese "Harley Davidson" motorcycles off the jetty while swimming

The windshields off because I haven't got one yet, got to somehow find one :(

Buying a jeep in the crate for cheap was an urban myth. There were ads to be sure, but they only provided information to government auctions, and that’s it. No jeep for you! 🍸

Very kind, thanks

Cheers, very kind

Very good points, The case whines more the more wear it has, apparently an as new case makes little noise, wonder how long it will take to start whining?

@@Greendot319 The aftermarket offers an intermediate shaft upgrade that is supposed to last longer and be quieter. The wear of that shaft may cause the more clearance between the gears and the whine. Novak and other suppliers offer hardened shafts.

@@jhoncho4x4 The Warn (now Saturn) overdrive is probably the single best upgrade to an original 'Jeep'. It mounts discreetly to the PTO outlet of the T-case and splits every gear for far better on or off road capabilities. www.advanceadapters.com/categories/saturn-overdrive/238/

@@Greendot319 Even when new, with original parts, I was told by my old timer parts man, that you should replace the intermediate shaft every 10,000 miles. They begin to show wear even before that, though. Supposedly, it's because originally, the transfer case was designed for the less powerful Bantam jeep (45hp), but it's a very heavy gear in a really spindly shaft. Post war jeeps graduated eventually to inch and a quarter shafts.

Modern transfercases and the Dana 20 the D18 evolved into, are straight drive to the rear axle and only use intermediate shafts to drive front axle while in 4x4 mode. Alot less wear and no noise in 2wd. The Jeep had passenger side drop drive on front and rear, with both axle pumpkins offset to passenger side to give extra obstacle clearance on driver side and be easy to line up for driver. This offroad advantage was gradually phased out.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Cheers, appreciate it and your long term support

Thank you! Will do!

Theyre a right pain in the butt. When the engines tight the starter has a really hard time. They used to run the engine in on an electrical motor in the factory to free them up first.

Cheers, glad you appreciate it!

No need to scratch the paint off for tooth washers, thats the whole point of them they cut through the paint themselves. This jeep has few toothed washers as its an earlier Type 1 suppression jeep but later ones had many more, they only had tinning in certain places and not behind all washers. On a modern jeep you don't really need tinning except on the important frame areas for the negative cable grounding. You can use silver paint to 'fake' the tinning for areas where grounding isn't important anymore (fender grounding, throttle choke cable grounding etc) cheers

Nasty!

This one is for using, its not for sale, too much work! Not sure I could do it again to the same level and remain sane.

@@Greendot319 I have said the same thing time & again, I still get another project! Pleased that you will use it and enjoy it - while we still can...

Cheers!

@@Greendot319 You're welcome. 😊😊

Not that i'm aware of ;)

Negative....my 42 GPW has 3 data plates

Thank you very much!

No Phillipino parts on this jeep, its NOS, US made and European manufacture. That was hard enough as it was! cheers

Which is best supplier of a tan top, I agree they do look better slightly tan as opposed to green.

Was tan used on green Jeeps in WWII?

🙂

Thank you very much, much appreciated!

Tinnings not too bad, needs to be done before you put any paint down like they did in the factory. You can cheat however and use paint on areas where the tinning is no longer important like on the fenders, no one can tell!

Greendot 319 I imagine you did yours properly. The jeep police are scary lol

@@vernonjones5418 This Tinning has been done as originally but don't be scared of masking and using metallic enamel paint if you want the look. Don't worry about the jeep police, your jeep is your jeep and if you're happy with it that's all that matters, some of the things the police think they know for a fact aren't correct anyway!

Greendot 319 I do agree with you. Everyone seems to be an expert. I’m loving your videos and Scott’s team g503. They are so helpful. Mine was in bits and missing so much as you then find out. What’s your next project or is this one a keeper.

Yes I have, its currently being worked on in Italy (no joke!)

All 'Truck, 1/4 ton. 4X4, G503' ('Jeeps') were all supplied with windshields. It is very simple to fold down the entire windshield frame flat to the hood or it can be removed with two bolts.

There aren't any crated jeeps unfortunately anymore and there is some question as to whether there ever were any available to civilians after the war but this is probably as close as you will get! The answer to cost is a lot, but its worth it

I remember back in the 70’s they were advertised in the back of magazines complete in the crate.

That is correct, the final coat is once everything is on.

Add a windshield just for the heck of it. They fold down completely flat n a flash and you'll need one if you mount a top. Also, the inner frame (around the glass panes) can be opened outward for flow through ventilation when the outer frame is in the 'up' position.

Interesting bit of trivia; American Central Manufacturing (ACM) had built the bodies of the Cord Beverly prior to contracting for the sheet metal of 'Jeeps' for Ford and Willys and 1/4 ton trailer tubs for Bantam and Willys.

Fit a different worm from WAT in spain!
