There's been something lost in the amazing details, curves, and lines of classic cars, but some beautiful design features still come through occasionally in 21st C. vehicles, like the side of this Jeep.
The road we were on has water deep enough to bury 35" tires.

The Willys Jeep was a much-loved all-rounder that spawned a whole new class of vehicle. In 1940, three companies submitted “light reconnaissance vehicle” prototypes to the US Government for testing, Bantam, Willys and Ford. Six months later the Willys MB was selected for production. The Jeep, as it affectionately became known, was so successful that Ford were eventually contracted to mass produce the Willys design, termed the Ford GPW.
Perhaps the iconic vehicle of World War Two, the Jeep continued in service through the Korean War and beyond.
This 1942-built 2200 cc Willys Jeep MB, wearing USA serial No. 20135864, was registered in the UK as SSU 819 in 1989 and is on display in Haynes Motor Museum.

It is a full-size body-on-frame vehicle that shared its architecture with the Gladiator pickup truck. The vehicle was introduced as a station wagon body style, later the pioneering design became known as a "sport utility vehicle"
Available initially with rear-wheel drive, the four-wheel drive SJ-body Wagoneer remained in production for 29 model years (1963–1991) with an almost unchanged body structure.

Her they are, war-ing. Jeep is George and Marie's dog and Mr. Chips is Don and Eleanor's dog. Gladys and Ed got to take care of both dogs while George and Don were stationed away. Here is a letter about some of the dog issues:
Dad answered the phone when some woman called day before yesterday. She said she was one of our good neighbors speaking for a group of neighbors, and would like to ask us to keep our dogs in the house more as they annoyed the neighborhood with their barking. She would like to suggest that we take them out for walks on a leash and keep them in the house the rest of the time, BLESS HER SOUL. Dad asked her her name four different times but she would not give it. She said she respected all our family, etc. and was a good friend. I don't know what all she said, but I was thankful I didn't answer the phone. We thought at first it was Mrs. Weenick, but now we think it was Mrs. Parker back of us. Of course when the dogs are tied out in the yard, they are quite near her back yard, and they were barking quite a lot that morning. There is never a dull moment. Ruby took them out yesterday a little and the rest of the time they were in. Chips doesn't like it very much. We put him out a few minutes this morning on the wire until he began to bark, so he had to come in. He is out now, loose, helping the boy mow the grass. Mrs. Likens and Mr. Weenick have thrown stones at him at different times, but I don't think it was either of them who called. Mrs. Likens has a little female dog that Chips was bothering and that is the reason she tried to get rid of him. She said every dog in town seemed to come down there. Her dog is about as big as Jeep. Jeep is tied in the kitchen now to a chair as she has taken to using the dining room now for her retiring room instead of the vestibule. She is so silent and quick about it we can never catch her at it to punish her. I guess there is always someone in the kitchen, too much to suit her.
Not knowing what photographic opportunities lay ahead along the washed out and rutted "road," I turned around, deciding not to push my luck.

Inspired by the one and only Phima', the reason I ever started posting on here in the first place. I doubt you'll ever see this but if you do, cheers.
As for the build itself, I've been meaning to build myself an updated Jeep for quite some time now, and by quite some time I mean just a wee bit under 4 years, haha. Now that I've finally gone and built one, I'm pretty darn happy with it. The front bar isn't perfect so I'll probably try a minor redesign in the next few days, as well as taking some pictures of it without the canvas top. I've come up with a neat little Browning design as well that I'd like to implement.
As always, c&c is welcome.
PS check out my YouTube Channel if you're into that kind o' stuff. Channel name Carpet Lego, you can find links in the picture I posted earlier.
Thanks!
Super inspired by the Bullpup MEV, she functions exactly the same, except there's a CROW MK19, so it's clearly better >:]
Jk in all seriousness, I went with an unusual concept and armed a medical extraction vehicle. Knowing first hand that everyone gets shot at, even the medics, I figured something to provide some more cover while UIC soldiers deal with any situation, either medvac gone south or small engagement they have effective ways of countering that.
In other news, your boi is being promoted to E5 aka Sargent and transferred to an aviation battalion here in the KY National Guard. The hype sure is real :3
