Old JEEPS are built better than any other vehicle, this is a very interesting video

back in the early 1990's i was able to see the Uptons in Lynnwood Washington to see a presentation of their travels. at that point i'm not sure if they had been through Africa yet. amazing couple and the truest extreme adventurists.

Just saw the shovel strapped to the radiator support rods. Pretty cool. First time I have seen or heard of this Jeep/expedition. Oh yeah, I’m 6’7 with a ‘77 CJ5. Feel your pain.

I was delighted to see this video. I have a Mahindra Thar Crde 4x4 based on CJ5 which resembles the Jeep in the video. I simply love the machine. There's a whole lot fun when you drive a CJ5.
