It was a modest, straightforward little machine, and it cost the government only about $900 a copy. Yet General George C. Marshall described the WWII jeep as "Americas greatest contribution to modern warfare."
War correspondent Ernie Pyle called it "the greatest discovery of World War II," saying, "I dont think we could continue the war without the jeep. It does everything. It goes everywhere. It's as faithful as a dog, as strong as a mule, and agile as a goat. It constantly carries twice what it was designed for, and still keeps going. It doesnt even ride so badly after you get used to it..." It has been said that the bond between the soldier and his mechanized steed was akin to the relationship between the WWI cavalryman and his horse.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I have :)

nice your jeep
Ok I posted the Rotabuggy, thank you again for allowing me to use you excellent Jeep.
@Wakescar Thank you very much, I already talked with BogdanX about the original design part, But thank you, I'll message you as soon as I do. Thank you again : D
@CaptBlackadder That would be fine with me but the bizarre challenge rules say that it must your own original design so I'm not sure it would qualify. You should still post it as a stand alone though. I'd like to see it :)
This is super!
hey so using this jeep I was able to make a Hafner Rotabuggy, and I was wondering if I could upload it into the Bizarre Challenge, I would of course Credit you for your excellent Jeep. My biggest concern would be that because it needs to be a successor of the challenge you would not receive Subsequent Upvotes if the Rotabuggy was to get any.
Dude nice i love the suspension system a ton
@AdrianFlyingAce Glad you like the 4-wheel steer. It's the only way to go imo. Also I don't rick roll. What link are you referring to?
awesmazing
@Mumpsy Thanks man. It took me a long time to get the suspension to work properly at this size. Everything is so close together it just wanted to stick to everything else. Making for a stiff ride that was very difficult to diagnose.
Actually, yes. You can put a .30 cal on a vehicle. Again, dependent on state laws. @RailfanEthan
@Wakescar I meant mounted on the vehicle. I know alone they're legal.
Man! You did an awesome job on this flat fender. So many great details. The antenna is really clever. Your suspension setup is great too!
@Pilotmario @RailfanEthan The USA is one of the few countries on the planet where regular folks can in fact own a fully automatic firearm. Machine guns have never been illegal in the USA on a federal level. They are heavily regulated, but not illegal at all.
@Pilotmario The jeep itself, yes. However, the 30 mounted isn't legal.
@Wakescar Land of the free.
@Wakescar I'm going to put a shrunken down version of my panzerfaust rocket on this... Looks good BTWS.
@Cedy117 Thanks dude! Truly iconic machines. They were always my favorite part of watching parades as a kid and quite possibly the reason I drive a jeep today
Much appreciated @Mumpsy I found a trick for smaller nudge increments just before building this. Details are no longer the bane of my iOS existence :)
@Pilotmario Land of the free my friend :)
Very nice one of my favourite looking vehicles
@RailfanEthan You're right, it's most accurately an MB, although many restored models are listed as CJs because they differ very little from early model CJs manufactured during coinciding years. The only notable difference being a higher range transmission often installed amid restoration.
