69 Years Ago Today. The Jeep Goes To War
« on: November 13, 2009, 07:06:04 PM »
Just a historical anniversary of a vehicle that has been there and done that.



I'd love to have one. Not the fancy ones of today... one you can hose out, not need metric tools or a diagnostic computer, and was a great innovation that led up to the development of the Hummer, which is now owned by China.  :-\

Here's to the Bantam's, Willy's, Quad's, and the original 4Wheeler.



Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

I used to know a guy named Tom here in ND had a couple of Jeeps, plus TWO weasels (M-29 without floats tho  :( ) , and a couple of deuce and a halfs. Pissed the small town mayor off, cuz Tom used to park 'em all in his front yard across the street from the mayor. After one particularly nasty row with the mayor, Tom parked the deuce and a halfs on the street in front of the mayor's house for a few days.   ;D

Hell of a week, militarily speaking.

the only thing that makes that a Jeep is the four letters on the grill.....other than that, it's just another Chrysler product!

M151s are still around and for sale by individuals. Some look like they're new.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.
