My grandfather's garage did this in the 1950's. He owned the first Jeep dealership in Manhattan, because he was selling Willy's before WWII, so automatically became a Jeep dealership after the War. Willey's did a promotion where they set up this contest in different dealerships, to see how long to assemble an entire Jeep. But it was completely apart, not in sub assemblies like here. My grandfather won with a time under 4 hours, and they presented him with a solid gold Bulova watch. On the back was engraved his name, the date, and the time it took to put the Jeep together. I lost the watch in a fire in the mid-1970's, unfortunately.

My family had an old 1946 Willy's when I lived in the mountains of Colorado while growing up in the 70s and 80s. We called it "Teapot." I think it had like two moving parts in the engine, a top speed of about 35mph/56kph, and would probably have climbed a tree if we'd tried it. It was the perfect vehicle for steep -- and narrow -- mountain roads, and was extremely reliable at all times of the year. I still kinda miss that old beast sometimes.

Kudos to the guys here putting the Willy's Jeep together in less than 4 minutes, but even more so to the designers who designed this thing to be so easy to put together. On the battlefield where time may be of the essence, this could be crucial. My father once told me that this and the Ford Model T were two of the easiest to work on vehicles he's ever seen. In the case of the model T it was kind of by necessity that it be easy to work on with limited tools because garages where it could be done were few and far between in the beginning. It _HAD_ to be simple.

[@Laerei]

Soviet vehicles were that simple too, which is lucky as they broke down often enough that driver had to also be a mechanic or the vehicle would spend more time in the workshop than on the road. Simple meant it could be fixed on the roadside.

[@Yadobler]

​@@Laereijust like old time aircrafts, back then a standard cockpit crew was the captain, 1st officer, and an engineer to constantly keep track of the plane conditions and tweak manually to ensure optimum condition. Now it's mostly obsolete since on board computer systems are good enough, planes are no longer manually driven too - in that instead of many moving parts across the plane, it's mostly fly-by-wire and so one thing breaking in between the cockpit and the actuators doesn't break the entire mechanical system Definitely more complicated, and impossible to be replicated by an engineer today, but definitely more robust than the early days which required the engineers in the first place.

[@Yadobler]

Ford model t being simple reminds me of 80s computers and gaming consoles. With basic circuit logic, things were simple because, well, there was no other way to make things by hand other than whatever that could be done by hand - including the software programming - and likewise it was also easy to just immediately diagnose and tinker After that, things definitely went uphill, and it's impossible now to analyse cpu by hand. It's all bootstrapped, simpler softwares making more complicated systems that maintain complected systems. It's kinda amazing tbh. It's like writing "6*5" and knowing that it is 30. You don't need to manually add 6+6+6+6+6, or literally count 5 bundles of 6 sticks. But at the start, it was making the computer add numbers together. Then with the simple steps being robust, you abstract that thing out into a blackbox of sorts, and test 5*6, and so on. It's really cool how once you get the first steps done, you can just use them to build further. And unlock something that would otherwise never be done from scratch

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

@@YadoblerAh, you've hit on a passion of mine: Retro computers and consoles (but mainly computers). The reason the retro scene is red hot is because those computers had *personality.* And what gave them personality? Well, since RAM was very expensive back then and CPUs were not very powerful, hardware designers had to come up with some very clever ways to do graphics and sound that made the best of what little resources they had available. That's why we loved those old systems. Commodore used certain tricks for their computers, Atari used their own for theirs and so on. And those kids from back then are now full grown adults with disposable income! Because of this love for our childhood computers, new software and hardware is being released even now. Heck, even the Atari 2600 has new stuff for it!* Modern consoles are powerful, but their hardware is extremely similar with similar capabilities (conforming to 1080P, 4K or whatever) and so they tend to have similar looking games. Impressive games to be sure, but the personality is gone. * For example, here's a new(ish) release of a new game by David Crane's new company, Audacity Software, for the Atari 2600: "Circus Convoy" kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ-6Y5mdd790rKcsi=sJfkzAuqrXc7sDgu and you can get it as a digital file for playing in an emulator such as "Stella" or even as a physical cartridge. The homebrew community is doing some truly amazing things for that old system. Check KZbin for "Pac-Man 8k" and "Donkey Kong VCS".

As a Cavalry Scout, we went every kind of "off road" you can imagine, and the jeep never let me down, never broke down, and never got stuck. I cannot say that of the HUMVEE.

[@sonicdewd]

Those Mutts were very useful. They were amazing with the ability to go just about anywhere, more than any other vehicle. They went to Humvees because of armoring ability (and other reasons). Some ask why the service didn't just use both. Again, armoring problems with the M151 was probably the main concern. Personally, experiencing actual use of these vehicles, I think they should have kept a limited run of them for all the little runs that are needed in the field, I don't know. Seems like everything goes the same way (compact trucks, little economy cars, etc.) - bigger, wider, more combersome at the expense of limberness, convenience (which is necessary in a military operation - it is not a luxury). Heck, even side-by-sides are big and overbearing and over powered - much different from where they started. Something is just lost there in all that ridiculousness for utility vehicles.
