Default off roading in a 63 year old army jeep!
took my 1944 WILLYS MB to work today and on my lunchbrake I took it over to a dead end and trayed to get it over this very soft and step hill. trayed for about 3 mines. all most made it but the ground was just too soft to go up the hill. if my jeep had lockers tirers that where biger then 5" wide I would have been able to get over it. anyway it was a lost of fun!





what you see in the pics is just the top of the hill. there was about 10 more feet that I was able to drive up befor I got to where I was.

The world has enough Jeeps in museums, i say drive it and have a blast, if it breaks, fix it and keep rolling.


after all, in 63 years my JK might be worth a few bucks more if i never drove it. It is a first year changeover and all...

just dont add in 63 years of storage fees and upkeep.
