Here is a series of clippings on the COOT 4X4, its a really interesting vehicle, that was built in the 1960’s they made quite a few of these, they seem pretty capable for what they are, with a 12HP Air Cooled Engine, they had a super climbing ability at 75% grade, that had to seem pretty sketchy at the time. Not the best in the water but on a calm crossing they appear to be able to get the job done, but something with a little bit of wake and it would be pretty dangerous to cross something like that I would think.

Overall there was a single positing Dave did back in 2020 that I ran across, then there was one this weekend I found.

Due to the work this took, I wont have a ton of posts, these eat up the eWillys time I have set aside, so not a Jeep or a Willys, but I was fascinated by them, they seemed to be a neat part of the 4×4 story that could use a small lift to record some of the information.
