And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Used to ride the military model across the desert in search of dud ordnance on the bombing ranges in southwest US. They're fun but can't go where the Humvee can go.
Bet somebody makes kits, one day, plop it down on a more modern chassis/driveline like a square body Ranger pickup. Little better diffs. Had one of the above, really was a great set of wheels, old F head, rebuilt it and the front rezeppa joints, they leak and let it water something awful fierce worn out.
I once had a CJ-2 with a replaced engine (a 327!) that was nearly identical to that jeep.
ReplyDeleteFun and more fun.
The flat front fenders tend to fly a bit over 45 MPH, but other than that it might be the most fun off road vehicle I ever had.
Still works and has a winch so it would be very useful.

DeleteI'd love to get an M151A2, but they cut most all of them in half.
