    Thanks....this was some cool footage. I like when the narrator says something to the effect "that they do everything they are asked to do.....even moving out at 70mph! Ha!! .....maybe freewheeling in neutral straight down the side of a mountain;)

    I couldn't view it on my iPad for some reason, so I tracked down a YouTube link of the same movie. (I've added it to my Favorites folder because I know I'm going to want to watch it again. Awesome!)

    Love the guy doing what looks like a four foot "wheelie" at the 5:19 mark. Whoa boy.

    One of my favorites too. The wheelie....gads....with no roll bar.....it makes me wonder how many soldiers we lost from roll-overs! The flimsy windshield frame on the CJ2/MB/GPW would not help you at all either if it rolled.....

    An old video but I don't remember my father being as happy as when he drove the MB around town. The can of Coors may have been part ot it.
