1948 Willys Jeep CJ-2A - Rusted Through Death Machine! (POV Binaural Audio)

Take a ride in an original 1948 Willys Jeep with a significant rust problem! The 3 speed dog leg gearbox is a treat to row despite its need for double clutching and it’s very open top vibe is liberating albeit death defying. Thanks to Mason for trusting me with his new toy.

@@EverettCrowl you can still draw on a piece of paper despite it being ripped, or blackened and smudged up. Same as this, it's the engine the chassis that runs it, not the body of the automobile. And not everything has a multifunctional choice of speed at all times, you see back in the day we had this excellent thing called creativity, you could have a performance automobile, and a slower smooth driving automobile, and not have both in one. Give yourself more variety, not a plastic molded frame they had years to think on changing, and choose the same goddamn design every other auto car has today. Also rust can be removed, it isn't like it's atoms are weakened. Can society stop making fun of older automobiles anywhere from 2010 sometimes, to 1980, to 1964, 1952, 1941, 1937, 1920, 1913, 1902, 1890, 1883, 1871 and in between all of those years more than just the example years I provided.

A long time ago, I was driving through the Ardennes in Belgium in a rented Renault 5 when a tire blew. It was a Sunday, and there was no spare. I managed to stop a passing truck, and the driver gave me a lift to a man who would be able to help me. In the middle of the woods I spotted an enormous pile of tires, underneath which a workshop was barely visible. The owner/mechanic appeared to be an avid collector of WWII army vehicles, as I noticed several jeeps, halftracks, trucks and the odd Sherman tank. He was happy to help, got out a few tires, and directed me to his car, a Willys, not unlike the one in your video. He drove me cross-country, through the woods in record time to my car, which in itself was an experience , sitting in a seat, previously occupied only by a GI in the Battle of the Bulge. His seat was a Recaro, with the racing seat-belts, which wasn't a luxury, as he had converted the Willys with rally suspension and gears to get the most, performance-wise out of a Peugeot 205 GTI engine. Ever since, when renting a car, I check e-ve-ry-thing.

[@Thistlesz]

That mirror is smaller than a phone screen 😂

[@EmpressSock]

i was taught to not rely just on mirrors, but to also always make sure with a shoulder peek to be sure that my side is clear. and surprisingly, i more often than not found a car at my side that my mirror somehow didnt see...

Ok but if you actually drove a car, then you’d know that mirrors don’t show blind spots. You’ve gotta turn your head to check those. Nice joke though. 😐

In a “car” like this, you can see how he assesses EVERYONE as a threat

[@grantm6514]

No crumple zones, no air bags, no rollover protection, no seat belts - ANY sort of collision is going to hurt! And with that much play in the steering you don't have time for texting. If all cars were like this more drivers would pay attention to actually driving and staying safe.

[@LightTheUnicorn]

Sometimes fun involves some rather insane amounts of danger. I love this! Still powering through despite the holes and quirks, wonderful thing!

[@snakeplissken1754]

The amount of rust sure adds to the completely exposed open driving experience. "Will the brakes work or am i going to push the pedal through the floor panel next time i have to brake?" Driving on the edge.

[@southpaw117]

I absolutely love the way first gear sounds. There's something about driving these old, simple vehicles that it just so enjoyable. In 2017, I finally got to drive my grandmother's Fiat Panda while in Italy, and that thing was so much more like a go-kart than I was expecting. Supercars make for excellent weekend toys, but these open-top, relatively slow, scary manuals truly bring out the thrills.

That's the beauty of owning a vintage flaty with an original tub. They're a weapon of war and born ugly. Scab in some floor boards and soak the entire Jeep in kersosene. Then park it in the sun. Your Jeeps now fully protected and ready to do Jeep shit.

He got it right except when you drive these a lot you do it all with the right foot, work the starter with your toe and the gas pedal with your heel.

[@PacoOtis]

Dude! I have a 1946 CJ-2A which we use as a daily driver, during the summer. I was with my parents when they bought it, but don't remember as I was so young. Ours is also yellow, but we won the battle with the rust back in the 1970's so that is no problem. Still original everything being 6 Volts & original engine. We have the "Willy's wobble" when steering and intend to replace some parts this winter. Best of luck with your "legend" as the Jeep was the C-47 of the ground movement.
