An Interview With a M38 Jeep Willys Enthusiast

[@gammaboxer9765]

Great video, Dino, always great to see these old Jeeps being kept on the road by folks like Jonathan. Cheers

[@CheaperJeeperTV]

Hey Gamma Boxer, Thanks for the feedback. It was pretty amazing to see it in person, and to see all the features up close. Going for a spin was a lot of fun too. Cheers.

This was very cool! My grandfather owns a 1951 M38 Willys Jeep and I am very interested in it and this video made me even more interested!

[@CheaperJeeperTV]

Hey Holton, That’s awesome. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers

[@randylowden1902]

Interesting and informative. Every Jeep enthusiast will appreciate this video.

[@CheaperJeeperTV]

Hey Randy, Thanks for the feedback. Cheers.

[@alopandur]

Hey Dino, as new 2021 WILLYS owner, that trip to the past was so interesting, informative and satisfying... Thanks, Nash

[@CheaperJeeperTV]

Hey Nash, I appreciate the feedback. I wasn't sure if this would be too much of a departure from expected content, but most people who commented seemed to enjoy the video. Thanks. Cheers.

My Great Uncle was a WW2 mechanic in Patton’s division. Motor pool had to work many times on Jeep’s in complete darkness as to not give away their location.

[@CheaperJeeperTV]

Cool. I’m sure he had some amazing stories to share. Cheers.

i had driven an army jeep when I was stationed in bien hoa afb 1967-68. i have always wanted a military jeep. now i have found one 1952 Willys CJ3A for $6500, not a fixer upper. i just came across this 4 X 4 Jeep Shop post on Facebook. it will be for local driving, not on freeway. i'm having difference rear axle that will beef up the ride. the club will be a great help to get more information and ask question.

[@CheaperJeeperTV]

That’s fantastic!! Sounds like you’re really going to enjoy having one!!Enjoy! Thanks for sharing. Cheers

[@jljohnnysjeeplife]

This was a fun video to watch. I love the old models. I honestly thought you went to St. Thomas to see those, nice to know they are local to where you live.

[@CheaperJeeperTV]

Hey JL Johnny's Jeep Life, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I've come to learn that it's a very large community when it comes to the old Jeep models. Cheers.

[@LOWCOUNTRYDIY]

Enjoyed the video but the background music was too loud to hear the engine. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@CheaperJeeperTV]

That is a good point. Apologies.

[@alopandur]

Hey Dino, Wondering if you can share your opinion over something: My 2021 Jeep Wrangler WILLYS (has no lockers) and I can afford changing only one (pricey) axle at this time to add electric lockers. If it was you, would you rather have a front or rear one as a first to start with (the second one will be hopefully coming in few months - wife's approval pending 😁). Or is is a must to change both in the same time? Thanks, Nash...

[@CheaperJeeperTV]

Hey AloPandur, I asked a friend in-the-know, and he said the front always! He said, "The front always has the ability to pull you over obstacles. The rear is like trying to push a wheelbarrow over obstacles." I hope that helps. Cheers.

[@alopandur]

@@CheaperJeeperTV Many thanks my friend, makes total sense... However, Mopar was explicit when I called them and said id electric locker axle are added, they both have to be done in the same time, no other way. So, another friend in-the-know suggested to put the much cheaper air lockers, or even consider the front manual ones, for those odd times when one needs to pull out of troubles... So, it will be (I do not plan to rock climb) front air/manual only...

Nice. Have fun.

Ah. I was hoping you might have been in Ontario so I could ask to make a video of your Jeep. Have fun with it. Cheers.
