Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Vintage 4x4 Expedition is an annual event hosted by brothers Ryan and David Shelley in Somerset, California. This multi-day event allows vintage off-road enthusiasts to put hundreds of trail miles on their pre-1975 vehicles. It started over twenty years ago with a few friends over winter break and now attracts over fifty eccentric individuals.

    So much cooler than ripping around in a financed side by side blasting music no one else in the area wants to hear. Cool event!

    Watching from Australia. We never got the wagons here so there's always been a bit of thing about them here with early Valiant fans. I believe they're rare as hens teeth now in the states, but to see one converted to 4wd is unreal.

    That green CJ5 at minute 2:27 looks exactly like the one my husbands father had years ago! Same color, same winch, roll bar. Very cool. Father is passed away now. If that was the one he had, he would be proud to know it is still wheeling.

    When I lived in Montana I had a 1970 Jeepster Commando it had a Buick V6. That was probably the best 4 by 4 I ever owned, the only issue was is the body ground clearance hit a lot of rocks underneath the doors when going over stuff. I never could afford to lift it.

    This is awesome. I’m glad to see the early CJ5’s slowly become popular just as the old CJ2A, 3A and 3B have been for some time now. I own a ‘55 CJ5 and got it for a great price a few years back (2018)….got it for $1400 and it’s solid, all original no rust. Great little Willys. I also own a 1952 Dodge M37 that sadly I’ve decided I have to sell. My wife is about to retire from the military and we are currently in Utah. We just bought a home back in our hometown and with me owning the M37, the Willys, two 2004 Mach 1’s, a ‘17 Power Wagon….and the wife owning her Ford Edge we just have too many vehicles to ship back home to PA (it’s a long distance!). The Mach 1’s (and the Power Wagon) will be going back with me this coming summer….and the Willys will be shipped closer to when the wife retires (summer of ‘25….yes, I’m leaving a year early to set the house and property up while it’s mostly empty)…..so sadly the M37 has been decided to be the one to sell. I know this is besides the point, but nobody ever accused me of not being thorough 😂

    Parents were part of a 4x4 club in Tri-Cities, Wa when I was a kid. The rigs looked pretty close to what I see here. A few more 70s model Broncos and Blazers. Looks fun👍🇺🇸

    Didn’t see any Real Early Scouts ? Didn’t see hardly any early Land cruisers either! Or early Broncos!!!! Those Rigs are worth huge bucks these days! I had a 61’ scout I used to take up into that area back in mid -late 70s. A Bronco club with a dozen rigs tried following a snowed in road I blazed in my scout- the couple lead broncos got stuck in my tracks. I pulled them out with my 61’ scout! My rig for last 25 years- a 1982’ Toyota 4x4 long bed. I guess that’s not old enough for your Clan. Cool video. Enjoyed watching 👍

    In Anchorage I had a FJ40, but sold it when the Suzuki Samurai became available there. It was lightweight, high ground clearance, 4wd, narrow and great mpg. (My Landcruiser tank got a whopping 8 mpg regardless of swapping out the intake manifold and it weighed a ton)

    Does anyone know what happened to the channel that used to post videos of classic 1970s Cadillacs driving in the snow and a little bit of train content too? I think the channel was called Acme or something like that? I usually watch those videos every year around Christmas but I can't find them now!
