The link under the photo leads to an interesting article about the development of lightweight "air-droppable" mini-Jeeps.

I should have mentioned the article was an interesting read. Thanks for adding that.
Jeep (and others) have made some neat, usually odd, small vehicles.
Here's one from the 70s.

1977 JEEP II
Jeep II

The late-seventies trend toward fuel economy and smaller vehicles prompted this "Concept Jeep II" prototype, which stylistically was very reminiscent of the Willys MB. Unless seen side-by-side with the CJ-5, it is hard to believe that the Jeep II is two feet shorter and nine inches lower. At that time, Renault had not yet purchased American Motors, and AMC couldn't afford the cost of developing an all-new Jeep to the production stage. They eventually discarded the idea of simply shrinking the CJ, and in the early eighties began the development of the Wrangler.

Made me think of this little thing. I had one as my only car for four and a half years. It's what got me hooked on no doors, no roof motoringImageUploadedByTapatalk1477184931.387822.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1477184943.602844.jpg

Looks like a British MIni Moke. A lot newer than the couple I drove back in the late 70s early 80s

Near the Shenandoah National Forest of Virginia, George Baxter of Army Jeep Parts Inc. was lucky to make a once in a lifetime find. This almost entirely original Jeep Universal CJ5 was covered over in an old building which once housed a collection of 20 Jeeps. Rare factory and aftermarket accessories are paramount on this classic Jeep.

Is that your Jeep. I have never seen bumper like that other than this one that I may put on my Scrambler. The brand slips my mind but I think the builder made bumpers for the first of the "Turtle" expedition vehicles. Tow bar is not show in my pictures but is in my shed.

Yep, thats the name I was thinking. Never new for sure but it is 100% confirmed now. Thanks, it only took about 15 years to KNOW for sure who made it.

Almost looks like it could be mounted on the front end of a locomotive. Super protection

May put on?!? Man, if I had that front bumper sitting in the garage, I'd use it in a heartbeat! :thumbsup:
