You figure that jeep had Patton - President Roseveldt - Amos an Andy that rode in it. I would think it would get some votes. man even Baby Bear rode in it along with Ferro..SW Bradley.

Here is our 1958 Reo M35a2.
We've had it since '08 and spent a lot of time on body work and paint but it turned out really nice. My Father, kids, and I have all worked on this and we love it!
We have taken it to parades, rides in the country, grocery store, work, and of course camping a lot!

The best part is the stories that Veterans share with us about their service to our country!

Isn't that the same Jeep that got replaced by the HMMWV :shock:
Besides that Jeep couldn't pull a 10 inch tree stump without tearing in half.
Agreed...but it wasn't designed to. (Neither was the HMMWV actually). Actually, I can't think of ANY MV that was designed to pull tree stumps??

Oh Well...I digress.

No that was the same jeep that was replaced by the M151 (which was replaced by the HMMWV, which got turned over to ISIS).


What? ISIS has HMMWV's? I thought they were still driving old pick-up trucks acquired from plumbers in Texas? I'm so behind. :doh:


Folks, while I catch-up on current events, y'all need to rush out there and VOTE FOR THE GOAT!!!!!

I have learned from top secret sources yhat his jeep was suppose to be the vehicle the president was suppose to be in leading the motorcade.

It was rejected by him because it did not have a TELEPROMPTER in it. So the Generals rode in it and passed notes.

Thankfully we have a long history of MVs doing stuff they were not designed to do.... American Ingenuity has saved a lot of American hide over the years in the form of digressing from engineer specifications on vehicles.... Hedge plows come to mind, and 2.5 and 5 ton gun trucks as an example seeing how you seem to have a specific connection to such :D

For 5 more votes on the HMMWV I will accept voter input and shoot and edit a second video... What to see it climb a jersey barrier?
