As a Moab born and raised, I love this. These tourists breaking their 80k rigs on trails my father completed in a 15k shortbed K10 gives me life.

Expensive Truck/Jeep owners: “You need a highly modified rig to do this!” *along comes grandpa, roaring out of the 1940s in his little unstoppable war machine that sat in a barn for the last 70 years* Expensive truck/Jeep owners: *existential crisis realizing they spent way too much money.*

If the Jeep roll, he die

Proof that you don’t need an overpowered engine and crazy electronics to go off-roading and have fun. The electronics take a lot of the thrill from the ride anyways.

Impressive that they run the old tires even!

I remember when I was a teenager my brother and I were hunting up high in the mountains and along came a jeep with two elk on it. One on the hood and one on the back and two old guys drinking beer on thier way down the mountain. Always loved them after we saw where thier tracks went!

I have a daughter and her husband that have fun in their late model jeep. Big tires and other equipment. My old jeep goes anywhere their jeep goes.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" It's like he mad he didn't die

This proves that you don't need 6,000 HP with a 10ft lift and earth mover tires to effectively climb hills.🤔😂

“I heard there was a Nazi over those rocks there…”

Those Willys are simply awesome! I wanted one when I was a kid. My dad said I needed two. One to drive, one for parts. But alas I couldn’t cut enough grass to earn enough to buy one let alone two. It’s nice to live vicariously through these! Cheers Doc

I’m in love. Climbed out of the Escalator like nobody’s business!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

My grandfather fought in the 5th infantry in ww2 they marched beside tanks and jeeps across Europe and he said without a doubt that the jeep was responsible for saving thousands of lives including his. From the beaches of Normandy to the battle in the ardennes then on to Berlin the jeep was there saving lives and kicking nazi ass for my grandfather the jeep was so much more than a vehicle .god bless are vets and all who serve today and those who will tommorow

I did that with a 74 scout once and realized I don’t have enough money for that hobby but I did have a good weekend😊

I bought my first Jeep about a month ago, 2003 TJ Rubicon, and while its a nice rig, I've watched probably a dozen videos from your group in the Willys rigs, and a rig like Bam Bam it looks like I would have as much or more fun in it, than in anything else I could ever find. That thing does awesome.

Grandpas Jeep is a beast with a man of steel behind the wheel.

Always Bitter Sweet watching these guys, As a Willys jeep restorer and owner myself.

I’m not an expert at telling the year a jeep was manufactured so I don’t know whether these were made before 1950 but that is my guess. 1950 was the year the name “Jeep” became a registered trademark and thus a proper name. Before that, most people used the word as a reference to a type of vehicle - narrow, short-wheelbase - high ground clearance. They were no more inclined to capitalize the word “jeep” than they were to capitalize the word “truck”. I like to watch videos similar to this one because doing so makes it easier for me to imagine the reaction of the GIs who first drove them. Most of those GIs had never even seen a 4-wheel-drive vehicle - much less driven one. They must have been absolutely astonished at what the jeeps could do compared to the cars they had driven. And keep in mind that many of those GIs were from families that had never owned even a rear-wheel-drive car. Beginning in the 1980s, my wife started saying “It’s 20% vehicle and 80% driver. Some drivers understand geometry and physics without necessarily having taken classes in those subjects. That these guys understand both is obvious by the WAY they drive the jeeps. THIS is how we taught our children to drive - first in low range first gear with a manual transmission. If more kids started out that way, they would cause less mayhem on the public roads when they get their licences. Finally, thanks for not using “music” when you made this video.

Makes sense willys were built tough 💪💪

“Bam Bam” gets around. I saw her passing through Placerville a year or so ago. I’m a grandpa too, and I drive a OD ‘43 GPW. Gotta love these jeeps. Thanks for posting,

Greatest off-road vehicle ever built

Pretty impressive for the stock tires and open diffs in these things. I can here the axel shafts breaking in this junk... definitely one of many week links in the flat fenders. I had a bone stock 43 when I was a kid that we took places it had no business being. We didn’t know any better and sure we got stuck plenty of times but never managed to tip it flip it or get hurt. Fast forward 40 years and there are places I won’t take my locked up CJ making 4x the power with a full cage and no excuses. I guess the though of having to turn a wrench on broken junk keeps me from acting like a 15 year old. Great video.

If that jeep were to roll he would be very, very dead

Another weekend...another scratch! Another bruised ego...and my Willys keeps on ticking!

Riveting watching this. When Stan was pulling up to the edge on TOW my heart rate jumped.

That Jeep without the cab must’ve been having fuel issues

Imagine back in the day some general saying our trucks will never make it through here buddy pulls a tape measure out yea actually we can start scaling here

My older brother used to run the Rubicon trail in the 1960's & 70's in a 1945 Willy's and never failed to cross the finish line ever and usually crossed it first place..never underestimate the old Willy's Jeep's!!

Back in one day about 35 mi. having a good time when a mad badger come out of nowhere and grabbed the two front tires with a health bite, tore a chunk of sidewall off the tires and instant flat she went. Then he ran off. That animal was a set of teeth on a rampage. Took some time before a couple other Willys guy come through and let us barrow their spares. Those guys became our best friends even today.

Holly crap! This is amazing!

Thanks, Mudd. It was a good video. It makes it look so fun. The kid did great.

I had a 1943 Ford GPW I use to hunt with in the everglades and west naples

Wow great video. Crazy!

I really liked this video. I love it. I love the flat fender. Greetings from Argentina !!

You guys did an "awesome job. Great video!

You are one skilled driver

Awesome video

They did Awesome!!!!

Amazing job can't wait till I get a chance to go out and wheel Moab. Keep up the good work, and also can I suggest a windsock for the Microphone?

Wow he let the kid drive, awesome job 👍

Pretty friggen cool

Good job

Some of these people are nuts.

awesome machines!

Youngblood is living the dream at the end.

Wow you guys did High Dive in stock flatties. Respect.

Freaken awesome! God. Bless🇺🇲🇺🇲

This dude is nuts.... I kinda want a Willys now...

its known as the Willys-OVERLAND for a reason. It doesnt care where it is, it'll carry on.

Definitely no dominating at 0:21 LOL

Love that old Willy's . Gumby had same one.

Awesome! 👍👍👍

If it can’t go over it , you can just pick it up and carry it over 😂

I wanna see them mudding next, please.

Well done

What a wild intro.

Thats why they took them to war and as you can see it doesn't need big tires and big engine.

ngl the offroad community is really nice

“I traveled across the pacific and Europe in this. You think I can’t travel in my own backyard??”

These are guys I want to explore with. In contrast, I like seeing the ultimate adventure (just not this year's they sucked) but there are to many rules and restrictions whereas these vids are of free rangers👍😃

Willis are awesome!

Awesome!

Guy in willys should yell out “” ON STOCK TIRES BITCHES !!””

What tires are on the canvas top Willy's? I have an M170 with NDT's and I'd like something a bit taller but still narrow.

Big crawlers for big kids who didn't grow up. 😀👍

5:03 This is too hard. 5:43 Hold my gas can rookie!

Amazing! Bam Bam, you are fantastic driver. I'm your fun )))

Monster machine

Man, these guys are either brave or crazy. No helmets, a single roll bar, and just a lap seat belt

now I know why the military used these they really do get the job done Army Strong

Those old jeeps invented Moab.

Does the one at 2:36 have a dauntless? Or some sort of other v6?

THE BEST 4WD OF THE WORLD...NO ACCEPT COMPARISSON

That's how you know that everything back in the 40s was made to last if a old ww2 jeep can climb inclines better than a heavily modded out modern day jeep that's how you know we've gone down in quality building when a ww2 vehicle climbs inclines better than a modern day tricked out vehicle

Looks like fun! Although I would probably want a roll bar in the mb with the soft top

Stan & Jeff are the masters with their flat fenders!

It’s all fun and games till the bell crank breaks off the frame!

How much is it?

Nice, I would have given my secret buried treasures to have been on this hike.

FCคับ

do you guys run lockers front and rear? bam bam has some nice suspension travel too. any spring modifications?

what axle in willys?

Don't make em like that anymore!

4:40 Looked sketchy as hell 😳

I am sure that my Stock-JK would have some serious damages when I would go there 😅

Flat-fender Floggin'

Those first two guys dont fear death. You dont rev the nuts off a jeep 2 feet from a cliff if you're worried about your place in the universe.

I think the willys is like the hachi roku but from the crawling world

Who says that the Willy Jeep isn't still good more than 75 yrs on

Who let grandpa out of the house, he just massacred those people with that willys

Lockers is a good thing up there.

8:48 Dad and his son in gramp's old Jeep.

How tall would you say Grampa is? He looks to be wearing that old flattie

Those willy's tires look like 6 psi

🙏

Интересно было бы посмотреть, как бы проехал Uaz469 !?)

The operative word, I think, is "fall".

They beat the snot out them but they make it. Lol

Video isn’t synced with audio.

I want to see all the Mercedes G Wagons follow them.
