In This video we have a look at two new additions, a really nice pair of American ww2 ford jeeps, both needed a little attention to the brakes but after that and a bit of starting trouble we took them down the field for a little play!

My Ford was built in 1945 two months before WW2 ended. It was sent to the US Forest Service. 20 years later it was sold to a farmer in Sedro Woolley, Washington. In 1995 they replaced it with a Honda 4 wheeler. They put it on Craigslist. I snagged it for $1800. All it needed was a master cylinder and brake shoes.

Not only was it probably a right laugh for you boys, but I really enjoy seeing the vehicles on the move (just as much as the deep more technical tour videos on the channel). The drone footage as a feature of your videos I think should definitely be a keeper!

Super fun to work on and driver, my brother and I have restored a few Jeeps over the past years. Now I miss them, and wish I had kept at least one to carry on playing with. Have you noticed that just about each and every part and piece of these Ford built 'Jeeps' have the Ford 'F' in script embossed into them, even the head of the larger bolts have this, if it's a true Ford.
