Also it helps that older jeeps are the size of side by sides today. Rigs are bigger these days, they need bigger tires to compensate for the larger size, especially being longer, the break over angles of 4 door rigs require a larger lift height

[@peterjuhasz5143]

In my country (Hungary), Jeeps are rare, and that is why most of us do not know them very well. We do not have the place to do rock crawling as well, it is a kind of off roading, what we can not do. We have a lot of mud, hills, some sand, but no rock crawling. That is why it is amazed me, a new vehicle and a new situation for me. Willis Jeep seem to be a swift off-roader, no big weight, really basic -which I like- simple machine. Perhaps my Land Rover weight twice as much. It could be a really fun to drive an old Willis! A grandfather of all off-road machine! :-)

[@AirborneVet]

When the machine has a greater command of the situation than the men do. And don't take this comment wrong, the driver here knows what is going on for sure, I am just attempting (maybe poorly) to point out that these originals were and are so much more capable than many realize.

[@immikeurnot]

And they were damn near unbreakable. The military version got absolutely beat to hell by GIs in WWII and earned a reputation for ruggedness because the jeeps just took the abuse and kept going.

[@MattIon]

Most stock 4x4s are far more capable than people realize or give them credit for, there's just been this idea perpetuated that you must immediately build the shit out of a new rig to be able to go anywhere off-road. If more people started out with stock vehicles and simply drove them to build their own skills, they'd be a lot better off.
