The really interesting part for me is the philosophy behind the vehicles. The Jeep envisaged as a mass produced military vehicle, almost throw-away, by a country with huge resources while typically British Landie was cobbled together from bits and pieces as a stop gap to rescue Rover while UK was on its knees and skint. Yet from those two entirely different perspectives the makers created fabulous vehicles that really stood the test of time.

Many folks from either camp believe their vehicle is better than the other. I own a Jeep Wrangler and a Series 2A Landy and love both. Not rivals but cousins from across the pond.

I could happily own both 😁👍👍

Thanks! 😃

In late war time Willys engine heads (1944 -->)it is stamped 'jeep' too, to diverse them from postwar Cj2a engine heads is to notice the ridges between the bolts, war time engine heads don't have them and that's the difference between those periods Go Devil engines👍🙂

Aa mentioned by someone else, the Jeep chassis is riveted together whereas the Land Rover chassis is welded. The Jeep chassis is far more flexible than the Land Rover chassis and consequently should be better off road. The riveted chassis is effectively a carryover from Ford Model T which were notoriously good off road in their day. Also Ford produced "Jeeps " during WW2.

Ford had nothing to do with the design of the Willys MB

The jeep is still available today now known as the wrangler as its new form and the series 1 is now the defender

I'm surprised that you didn't point out the the first two (I think) Land Rover prototypes were built on surplus Willys jeep chassis's hence very much similarity between the chassis details.

So much detail to cover in such a short period. Difficult to cover everything!

Think you've got the pics of the fans mixed up.

Thanks for your observation, but no.. those are the fans from each vehicle.

They are both made of metal and both can be welded. Both the same to repair
