Must see, if you like Willy's jeeps!

The idea being to show the genius that went into the making of the jeep and its basic simplicity.

There is beauty in simplicity.

But would it come apart that easy when muddy and dirty after months in a theatre.

Love the simplicity though. I wonder how they kept the coolent from leaking out.

I haven't personally had a chance to dis assemble the jiffy jeep, but if I were a betting man I'd say they cap the ports on the engine and leave the rad dry. You can run for quite a while without a radiator.

The jiffy jeep is NOT a complete jeep - it is designed for competition. Just in case that wasn't obvious. No brakes, no rad, etc.



It's somewhat of an EME tradition to assemble one of these in the CFSEME CO's office whenever a new one is posted in/out.

Simplicity like common sense, there is a connection, are things of the past.
