Great video and I like the WWII era music to go with the video.

I tend to forget how small the original GP's were - not much larger than some of the newer side by sides! Looks like a fun trip - thanks for the video!

Nice. I love seeing old WWII jeeps that aren't moded running trails. Shows the real way they came and just how capable small and lightweight is. You should have shot that in Black and WHite to make it look like one of those old Jeep movies. I also can't help but notice how your old Go willy's sounds an awful lot like my 22RE...

editing to BW is easy enough to do. but since we were not dressing in uniform and had camping gear all about and my eezi awn was hanging atop my trailer I didn't see the point. I wanted people to see that it was guys using their restored jeeps not just toting them around on a trailer like most do. The origional design is very capable and works very well unmodified. I have a friend that takes his on the rubicon. Only thing added for that is a rollbar and modern tires. I do love the looks of an old jeep with the origional tires though. I think it would be interesting to see if a bone stock jeep could make the rubicon still. like in the pictures of the first jeepers jamboree.
