  3. I had access to two of what is shown. One had no brakes, which is not much of a problem when one knows of that. Having no brakes actually makes one a better driver, if not contemplative.

    The other had squishy brakes, the kind which are soft as a pillow. That was the more hazardous because it might lure the driver to accept more risk, say being less inclined to watch downhill speed which could get one in a pickle quickly.

    Even so, both were a hoot to drive. And being simple machines they are very easy to work on.

    Speed limited to 45 mph but there's an outfit that will re-chip it.

    Not legal for street use but the same outfit will get you an ATV plate.

  8. If I owned that, it would be Army Green or Navy Gray. Love those old Jeeps.

  9. This is the same thing I used to drive on a South Texas hunting ranch, except the one I drove had a game box on the back - basically a 3 ft bed extension that bolted on and used the original tailgate. Miss it, a lot.
