Great video, thanks for that 👍. As a Land Rover enthusiast, it’s great to see the Series 1 along side the early Jeep, especially since the Army GP was the inspiration for the Land Rover.

@michaelhector2609 Hi Michael, we don't interact a lot with Land Rovers, but when we do, I include them. We are headed down to Moab in a couple of weeks for Easter Jeep Safari. We should be joined by at least one of these Rover guys there. PS: I lived in Lincolnshire for a bit 25 or so years ago as a member of the US Air Force. I was on an exchange with the RAF at a tiny little base called RAF Digby.

This starts out like the old TV series of Rat Patrol. Bam Bam seems to geared really low and crawls very well. It is great watching old school vehicles doing hard trails. You gotta be Nuts! is very true for such small wheelbase vehicles.

Thanks for checking in Todd. Blasting around on the sand is fun..... until it isn't. If that blow sand dries out, a slight hesitation with skinny tires and low horsepower and you're stuck.

@@timmcooper294 , that is so cool When is the next event for the older rigs. Your rig is so cool, I love it. What's unique about my 1962, it has slanted doors like a CJ5, not the square doors. Of course jeep sued Toyota, so they only imported 200 1962 models, so I doubt but only a few are still on the road

I'm the guy driving the "Penalty Box" Like Stan's reply, the green one is mostly stock, just a few upgrades like lockers and fine spline (32 spline 1.400" ) shafts in the stock front and rear axle assemblies. Mine is LS swapped, SM420 transmission, running on the original axles with the same internal upgrades like Jesse's. The stock series axle assemblies (front and rear) are actually a little bigger with a bit more strength potential than legacy (Not M220 JL stuff) Dana 44's Highly under rated.
