It makes my day to see these old Jeeps doing what they were designed to do especially when some of the drivers are young. Long live the old Willys and Ford military jeeps.
This is amazing watching these old Jeeps doing what still so many modern 4 wheel drives couldn’t make it through today.

@@flight2k5 stock or modified? That’s all I’m saying anyway. There are tons of modern 4 wheel drive and all wheel drive vehicles that would not make it through this stock, but these antiques are doing it and I think it’s a testament to what made a Jeep a Jeep. That’s all I was getting at.

@@GravesoftheInnocent yea a cross over wouldn’t. But a 4wd will. This Willy’s is not stock. So there’s that. Please go visit the rubicon before I making statements like this
Excellent wheeling! Great to see the old flatties showing the newer rigs how it's done and how small size can be an asset!
The agility of the older jeeps is remarkable.
This is the true spirit of Jeeping. Leaf springs - still legit. That four door wrangler just isnt a real Jeep. No offense to the owner but its outclassed by the older rigs. It doesnt take 37 inch tires to get down most trails, just good driving. That old iron just keeps on rollin.

I've had a flatlander, 2 CJ-5's , 1 CJ-7, a 74 Bronco throughout 43 years of doing the Rubicon. I bought a 08 Jk and built it up. Sorry old boy but the JK is the best vehicle hands down. Although the 74 Bronco was close,it needed coils on the rear to make the articulation king like the JK!! And it doesn't take 7 to 10 tries to get through a small rock garden. The flatlander was first in a long line of awesome toys for playing in the the rocks!.

Love it..!!! They’re geared like a beast..!! Like mountain goats 🐐
So nice to see the now 80 years old design working on a hard trail like the Rubicon. Purpose build, light weight - a masterpiece of engineering (congratulation American's) and ahead of all other vehicles of that size at that time.

Love classic jeeps ❤️
the young man in the oliv willy is a cool and good driver, respect
The GPW is a work of art.
As always, love the videos

Jeep trails unbeatable. Great performances. Congratulation
Great vid. I love lil Bam Bam. What a soldier. Cheers.
What a beauty of off-road driving
Watching those little things climb is fun. It's a lot more about tire placement and positioning here unlike the rigs with V8s, ton axles and 40's.
Awesome content and wheeling!!!
Thanks for the video. Really enjoyed the ride. (Chicodave)
This is so satisfying to watch
I love those old cars and steel models.
Bam-Bam the man, machine, legend that teaches goats how to climb rock walls!
Very cool sport. Congrats
A1 the Willy's still running good dudes😀
Old is gold.
loved 14:50, the soup bowl attempt, LOL, i have taken my 87 IFS TOYOTA on 33s thru the soup bowl.
Reminds me of my Uncle's '41 MB that I got to drive through the Rubicon in 2001. Hope to take my '75 CJ-5 through someday.
I like Willy jeep thanks so much
Beautiful
Awesome God-bless everyone
"Old is truly Gold" at the end of the day..
awesome videos
YEAH.. yes. DANG! And "WOW." Darned toot'n. OK.. had a WIlly's (on and on).. quite a long time ago. I didn't do competition and such - really didn't have a lot of that back when I drove one. BUT.. oh.... what we did conquer. No quickie phone vids then..no UTUBE posts...no organized competitions for GOLD MEDALS (or whatever). SO.. just launched to see this presentation. THANKS.. love it
I was stoked to see you attempting Soup Bowl 14:40. Has anyone ever climbed it in a stock-ish flatfender? Really enjoy your videos.
Very nice video, i have TJ 4.0, but like so much the super Willys !!! 👍

All your comments are aimed at detracting from what these Jeeps do, you don't say anything good about them. You're either a Toyota fan boy or a professional Jeep baiter, nothing new.
The flat fenders look more in their elements than the Wranglers. I have a 2 door JK with 35's, and even that would be almost too big. I used to have a Suzuki LJ 80 and it was so small, it would go anywhere. Lowest structure was the double box beam, so it was easy to teeter totter over logs and rocks. If I got stuck I would put it in gear, pull out the choke to get the revs up, get out and push.....then run like hell and jump in. Those were the days. Cheers.
Amazing that an 80 year Jeep can outpace a modern 4x4 on an obstacle.
Настоящий внедорожник👍👍👍
Amazing what those old Willys and Ford GPW Flat Fender basic Jeeps can do. No big fat wheels and tyres. No electronic gizmos and air suspension and 360 degree cameras, no nothing. Just plain good old fashioned common sense, patience, driving skill and technique….
ESPETACULAR!!!! Marino Florianópolis
Amazing the difference adding lockers will do.
well done chaps. Australia
Que berraquera hno ver esos willys a campo travieso muy bien aca en colombia tambien se hace aplausos muy vacano el video .......
Jeeepp!! Good Driver's 👽
I know the limitations of the original jeeps, No excess ground clearance, no big power under the hood at all, no selectable POSI to any axle and stock NDT tires highly questionable! With all those knocks in place you folks did a wonderful job of effectively using everything those little jeeps had to give. Its one thing to go over this stuff in a modified rock crawler its a whole different matter to do it in a stock Willys Jeep you guys did a fantastic job and should rightly be very proud!!!
They could still make these new with little updates. They would outperform most ATV's.

Thank's for a good video, like I say slow and steady will get you there. What mods have you done to your willys jeep. All the best from South Wales in the uk.
Now everyone thinks you need coils! Long live leaf springs!

Willis jeep is very special.
I spent a good part of my childhood riding around California in a red Willys shooting at things.
Yeee mud-ox for the win!!!
Me acabo de suscribir al canal. Me gustan mucho los Willys. El azul me encanta, que medida de ruedas lleva?
Looks like some Willys have extra low gears ? axel or trasfercase?
did you need to do much adjustments on your carburetors for the elevation ?
Great video. Just wondering what type of springs are on MAD BRIT's jeep.

are all the people in the video for the most part running stock drivetrains in these?
🤣🤣🤣 no expensive lift, no expensive tires & rims, no bullshit barbie mall crawler...just raw old school shit!!! Love seeing these out perform the new garbage. Yes, driver skill has alot to do with it, but it isn't everything.
The only negative to this video, is the new 4 dr Wrangler, those i hate. they are too big, too heavy, run too big a tire and destroyed all my local trails. The light Wt. MBs are so amazing, love them.
Крутые парни
Not one of these probably drove here. They were trailered by new jeeps or trucks. That JL drove to the trail. Did the trail, and got home. They also still have an ass attached to them. No way would any one of those jeeps out drive that rubicon. When you spent 2k on the old Willys, you don't care if you destroy it. Good ol momentum got you though it. I can do the same with any new SUV if I don't have to buy new parts :) I love the old jeeps, but let's not get to ahead of ourselves.
