He folks enjoying all your videos. All scenic places all beautiful mountains great adventure and great relationships among participants. Today I am 72, when I was young 22 I loved western movies, John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cliff and Kirk Douglas. They all were riding horse back and places were very scenic as you folks driving. Enjoying your videos, thanks again.
Great camera work! Most of the United States citizens who entered military service during WWII had never even SEEN a 4WD vehicle before being introduced to the army jeep. Try to imagine how astonished they were to discover how capable it was. I realize that most of the vehicles in this video were built post-war but the mechanical designed had changed very little from the army-issue jeeps.
Amazed at how many don’t have roll bars. Great videos. And grandpas Jeep is pretty amazing. And boy does he know that jeep. Just happened across your videos and subscribed.

Impressed but don't understand how these seem so planted on rocks with very little actual articulation... these obstacles would make any modern jeep teether tot and flex like crazy.
All the electronics, lockers and lifts - and these just rock and roll they’re way up and down great stuff - what motor is in the military looking one with the roof up?
Nice, hello from south of France, i have a Hotchkiss M201, with only 6 points roll cage and low transfert reduct. What kind of engine in the yellow one? And what axles on bam bam? It seem you have almost alls diff look?
Your brakes are better than mine.......I'm betting updated? Disks, or over sized drums? Mine are stock 1948 and not good for much. I'd probably have gotten killed on that trail!
Muskrat Outdoors Just saw your question about brakes. On Grampa’s Jeep I have the original 9 inch brakes. They are a little tricky to get adjusted correctly, but they work fine.
Any tall guys in your group? I want a flat fender so very badly but at 6’6” I hear the only real way to do it is to cut into the rear fender to mount the seat further back
As an avid serious mountain biker and rocker crawler, what are those fellas doing hike a biking mountain bikes on that trail. My FJ40 is meant for that trail, my mountain bike is meant for mountain bike trails.
I saw no significant improvement on this type of trail. In fact, if you look closely at Grandpa's Jeep's front tires, they are bald. He didn't seem to have any problems. The siping/cutting is a benefit on the wet road and in the midwest dirt and mud. Not so much in Moab MHO. Stan and I were both running 8 psi.
I would ask a question or two but there doesn't seem to be any answers to any of the questions asked already. so I'll make a statement: yes, these machines have difflocks, probably truetrac type rather than air or electric locking type - their owners should confirm. At least one seems to have no centre diff lock in the gearbox as evidenced at 23:35 to 23:40 and 23:51 to 23:53 - the front and rear axle cannot find drive even though both wheels of each axle have grip (so axle diff-locks but not gear box lock). And having been 'off-roading' (or I think you call it 'wheelin'') in the 'states, I see that these JP's don't have any idea of cross / diagonal bracing of their roll bars / cages. If those vehicles with a roll bar fitted were to lie down sideways, the roll hoop will fold flat sideways, giving NO protection to the front seat occupants. They MUST have a diagonal brace tube from driver side top corner to passenger side lower corner at the very least. Better would be to also have a diagonal brace tube from passenger side top corner to driver side lower corner - this is what is known as a 'cross brace' because it forms a cross ('X') when viewed from the front or rear. This is not triangulation. And the Jeep GRMPS S48 should have its rear hoop supports running from the highest point of the hoop (the top two corners) to the lowest point on the chassis without any bends. Bends are weakness. Bends in straight tube = collapse points. Anyway. Other than this, I think this is FANTASTIC and I wish these guys all the best. Well done to you all. Keep the shiny (and slightly bent and knackered side) up. cheers from the UK.
Most of these have no roll bar except the yellow one and gramps. What you see are supports for the cloth top. As for the need for a diagonal brace, I have been on my roll bar upside down many times with no brace. I think you are thinking of high speed situations where forces on the roll cage are much more severe. The center differential on these have independent front and rear lock engagement, twin stick. Some of the early cj2 and CJ3b had a pto for farm implements as well. This was done for the flexibility to go front or rear drive. Many of your older land rovers copied this for the defender and until the nineties at least, the discovery. The are using brake torque to mimic limited slip diff in the front and rear.
Most of the old Jeeps have manual locking hubs to lock the diffs. And your over thinking the cage. These trucks weigh 2400lbs +/- . No need for hard core bracing.
Dustin Mueller the military has detroit in the rear and an elocker in front. The light blue patina Jeep has lock rites. The yellow Jeep has a rear lock right and open front. The Jeep with side curtains and tow bar has open diffs. He is using his brakes to simulate a locker.
A way to evidence that if you are a skilled off-road driver, you do not need all those electronic driving assistance stuff (auto differential locks... traction control... quadra-drive...)
BAM BAM and Grandpa's jeep are locked front and rear. "O'l Yeller" has a rear lock-rite and "Pepe" has open differentials. Ted is using his brakes to control wheel spin.
Grenvile Rebello if you watch Bam Bam carefully he looks to be locked up both ends. The rear end because of the flange on the full float would tell me it’s the stock Dana 23 with a lunch box locker. I was able to catch a couple glimpses at the front axle and it appears to be a narrow track drum brake Dana30, several automatic lockers available for the 30. I believe I’ve seen him on several slow technical climbs have the gear shift lever in the forward position. That and he seems to be able to putt slow slowly tells me he has a granny low 4 speed. The flat fender with the cute pup the front axle looking at it has no 6 bolt drive flange and appears to be a unibearing axle which would require considerable modification. I just ran across this groups videos when I was in Moab, I’m there every year for EJS and if I see them I’m definitely going to try and talk to them.
Some of you cleaver people have questions about these Jeeps, most of your questions can be answered by careful examination of the video. If you find me at EJS I will be glad to talk to you about "Pepe"
No thoes make Jeep's worse, low rev no momentum engines belong in farm tractors and big rigs ,I don't get this dinglberry diesel engine fad there not hotrod engines
mark rylander there are a few if the Perkins powered CJs around here in Colorado and have wheeled with one and they don't make a good jeep engine a 134 is leeps and bounds better
I’m an avid Jeeper, I love the vid but have to point out.... why in the hell do “some” think it’s fun or safe to bring their dog rock crawling? Absolute silliness and disturbing. Use your damn head....

These old will's jeeps are so much cooler to watch rock crawl then some 80 grand Rubicon.

Io
That is a great bunch of fun 4 wheeling like that .
nothing like old jeeps in their natural environment! That is some really rough terrain - Bam Bam is a hell of a driver.
Amazed at how many don’t have roll bars. Great videos. And grandpas Jeep is pretty amazing. And boy does he know that jeep. Just happened across your videos and subscribed.
Another excellent video. Great job!
That dog is the best off roader of them all!
Dillon Johnston yah I agree 👍 read my other text C😎😎L
Loved the whole series. Great job
Whoever the driver is with the top up is an incredible driver. No tire slippage at all.
That dog is so pro in the back seat he know how to fuken balance himself 😄
Excellent, beautiful scenery, greetings from Willys lover from Argentina!!!👋👋👋
Awesome off-roading with minimal mods. Enjoyed every second of it. Watching from India.
I also
Effortlessness !!!!! Great video guys. With Love from Namibia.
gracias amigos por compartir vuestros videos de gran camaderia y amistad sigan haciendolo y me encantan los jeep wilys un gran 4x4 real un saludo desde el fin del mundo iquique chile
I'd love a flattie. Great video thanks for sharing
Awesome video. So cool to watch willys in action
Excellent driving. Wish I could be out there.
Love the older jeeps.Real jeeps have no doors 👍🏻
Will7311 S :AGREE,real jeeps have ROUND headlights!!!🔩🔧🔩
great evant sir...
Impressed but don't understand how these seem so planted on rocks with very little actual articulation... these obstacles would make any modern jeep teether tot and flex like crazy.
I believe it is the lower center of gravity
And superdurp short wheelbase.
That’s what you call real 4 wheeling!
Congratulations for amazing video
Great video
Amazing how these old Jeeps with their original tire tread pattern just walk over these rocks, headed to Moab in November, sadly no Willys
Genial. El willys y su marcha lenta. Felicitaciones es un buen video. Gracias
Oh crazy clutch leg workout
the dog in the back seems to be having a good time he look like he was smiling 😆 know's how to injoy off roading C😎😎L
Great video! I have a love/hate relationship with this trail. Fun vid, wish I was there.
Muy buenos videos de los mejores que he visto en 4x4 felicitaciones amigos saludos desde chile
I love those old war horses!!!🔩🔧🔩
Love my jeep!
I love how Bam Bam just crawls over everything nice and slow. Perfect. Must be geared low?
Love Grandpa Jeep, bald left front tire and all! Would be great to get my '48 '2A out with ya'll, after a set of lockers tho.....
My respect to the Jeeps !!
okay, no one else has mentioned it. What's up with the front hubs on that MB at 0:40?
skill is important..., always i believe in...
All the electronics, lockers and lifts - and these just rock and roll they’re way up and down great stuff - what motor is in the military looking one with the roof up?
I just bought a 2018 YJ man I wish I had a old one to drive like that.
No such thing as a 2018 yj lol
2 door is a jk
4 door is a jku
There are 2018 JK's and JL's. JK's from 2007-2018… JL's are 2018+. YJ's are from 88'-95'
Nice video and audio quality
Thanks for posting the videos really makes me want to get back to work on my Jeep. What tires are on the olive drab soft top Jeep ?
Nice, hello from south of France, i have a Hotchkiss M201, with only 6 points roll cage and low transfert reduct.
What kind of engine in the yellow one? And what axles on bam bam?
It seem you have almost alls diff look?
Rod knocking in the multi-color jeep
saludos de Venezuela me gusta estos carros jeep tengo uno y siempre salgo a pasear por el páramo rutas difíciles muy emocionante
Has a M151 ever tried Moab?
love this video watched a few times
They flex so good.,,
Awesome
Is that wicked cool... or just awesome. Or both.
Right where i live, i dont' see people drive those kind of Jeeps anymore
What are the specs of Bam Bam? It's obviously not stock...
Your brakes are better than mine.......I'm betting updated? Disks, or over sized drums? Mine are stock 1948 and not good for much. I'd probably have gotten killed on that trail!
Muskrat Outdoors Just saw your question about brakes. On Grampa’s Jeep I have the original 9 inch brakes. They are a little tricky to get adjusted correctly, but they work fine.
Only jeep I would own . Made tough .

Super
And the dog too
Willys 😘😘
What's the final verdict on your siping experiment? Can you tell the difference?
I saw no significant improvement on this type of trail. In fact, if you look closely at Grandpa's Jeep's front tires, they are bald. He didn't seem to have any problems. The siping/cutting is a benefit on the wet road and in the midwest dirt and mud. Not so much in Moab MHO. Stan and I were both running 8 psi.
Anyone know how tall those tires are?
29-30 inches
Do all of you guys have open differentials?
Myron Hensel No most of us have lockers of some sort.
23:21
But where are the...
Three ⛺️ s
2 coolers- slides of course
Three bumpers
Wacky lights
2 disc cook tops
Two heaters
4 solar panels
🤔

this is mind blowing to me! I had no idea the old jeeps could hang like this... How reliable/tough are they?
Do all these jeeps have air lockers?
Dustin Mueller the military has detroit in the rear and an elocker in front. The light blue patina Jeep has lock rites. The yellow Jeep has a rear lock right and open front. The Jeep with side curtains and tow bar has open diffs. He is using his brakes to simulate a locker.
You guys are so edging cool
Effing* and I have a 96 geo tracker lifted on swampers with a lockrite locker lol
Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
I wish I were younger, I'd love to take my '51 3A over terrain like this!
A way to evidence that if you are a skilled off-road driver, you do not need all those electronic driving assistance stuff (auto differential locks... traction control... quadra-drive...)
Are most of those jeeps running 31s or 33s ???
Tire diameters of the 4 jeeps range from 29 to 31"
What are your Tyre dimensions??
The tires on BAM BAM are 750-16 NDTs. They are 31” diameter.
What about the prize!
Is Bam Bam running lockers front and back 🤔?
nothing beats a jeep flat top
camara man is a bit jumpy
What does the gizmachis.com Jeep have in the rear . Open limited slip or a true trac ?
michael newman he has open differentials. He is using his brakes to make the tires bite.
Are all the jeeps stock? Or some have lockers? I personally like to see GramPa and BamBam...planning to make mine the same
BAM BAM and Grandpa's jeep are locked front and rear. "O'l Yeller" has a rear lock-rite and "Pepe" has open differentials. Ted is using his brakes to control wheel spin.
Which is pepe jeep???
The jeep with the dog.
Grenvile Rebello if you watch Bam Bam carefully he looks to be locked up both ends. The rear end because of the flange on the full float would tell me it’s the stock Dana 23 with a lunch box locker. I was able to catch a couple glimpses at the front axle and it appears to be a narrow track drum brake Dana30, several automatic lockers available for the 30. I believe I’ve seen him on several slow technical climbs have the gear shift lever in the forward position. That and he seems to be able to putt slow slowly tells me he has a granny low 4 speed. The flat fender with the cute pup the front axle looking at it has no 6 bolt drive flange and appears to be a unibearing axle which would require considerable modification.

Thank God for abs brakes. Lol
Let's see a new Jeep vs these. Bet old ones would smoke em
Make it look easy
diseal engines on these jeeps?
Mr.surfer
Go Devil L134 (60hp)
No thoes make Jeep's worse, low rev no momentum engines belong in farm tractors and big rigs ,I don't get this dinglberry diesel engine fad there not hotrod engines
mark rylander there are a few if the Perkins powered CJs around here in Colorado and have wheeled with one and they don't make a good jeep engine a 134 is leeps and bounds better
That’s so sketchy with no roll cages! And lap belts!
Yellow jeep 80psi 😛
I do rough house my 44 Willys MB , but I wouldn't do that to her !!
Shame on today's AC suv 😀
That dog shouldn't be there. Not safe.
Really 😂😁
I’m an avid Jeeper, I love the vid but have to point out.... why in the hell do “some” think it’s fun or safe to bring their dog rock crawling? Absolute silliness and disturbing. Use your damn head....
A Dog
Go away
@@Rynsey The dog jumps out and is fine..... never seen an ATV go over? Same idea here.
