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.

[@marla.the.v35]

Excellent wheeling! Great to see the old flatties showing the newer rigs how it's done and how small size can be an asset!

[@oledefahrt30]

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.

[@tf6796]

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!.

[@brokevetfishing9108]

Bro there are not enough old ass jeeps to go around so what else are we gonna roll around with

[@spyder2383]

Guarantee the jks won't be around with original equipment in 70 years!

@@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.

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.

[@arminjehle6979]

Jeep trails unbeatable. Great performances. Congratulation

[@JeepnJeff]

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.

[@EvanMoon]

Real off-roading. No electronic buttons that help you do everything

[@flight2k5]

But they have lockers 🤣

[@wopmf4345FxFDxdGaa20]

Their button was pneumatic, or maybe wire operated. 😂 But still, very cool vehicles.

[@Nachovalenti899]

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.

[@kenjohnson4423]

loved 14:50, the soup bowl attempt, LOL, i have taken my 87 IFS TOYOTA on 33s thru the soup bowl.

[@petemiller519]

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.

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.

[@karlk6860]

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!!!
