   Looks like they had a ton of fun! Wish I was one on that group!

   I noticed “Bam Bam” had a lot of hidden mods. Saginaw steering, lockers and loooonnng springs. Probably more.

   Even at 60 and 70+ years old, the original Willys is a remarkable machine, with surprising capability. Impressive even today.

   Looks like fun. But a good way to bang up your Jeep. I can’t believe he got through the tunnel.

   A little surprised at the terrain they were tackling without a roll bar!

   Thanks for posting the video Dave. I’m the one in the Jeep with no roll bar, the others had hidden bars. Of course I went around some obstacles to prevent any mishaps. My next project has a 5 point harness and full cage tied into the frame.

   This ride was in Attica, IN at Badlands. It’s a great place for the old Jeeps with plenty different types of terrain. Always a joy riding with other guys from thecj2apage. I typically go here with amphibious ATV’s, and we love to launch out of the drainage tubes!

   I never realized the non-directional tire tread worked that well in the wet.

   Wonderful video.

   I had a stock, low mile, 1956 CJ5 $350 rust bucket in the late 1970s that went everywhere the high dollar machines went just like this video. It had so many pop-rivet aluminum patches it looked like a B-17 and the Rust-o-leum roller paint job held up like iron. We were never first, but we never got left behind. I did install a roll bar and army surplus fighter 5 point harnesses. Used Sears snow tires all around and it came with GTO bucket seats.

    Great video. I love seeing mostly stock vintage Jeeps that can handle challenging terrain with the best. Old iron that hang with or outperform new JKs on the trail. I was surprised at how nimble my M38 can be. It’s mostly stock but with a locker in the rear and taller tires, I’d like to get it up to IN and try out those trails.
