Nick Johns Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) They do exist...well modern repro ones.

arcot1751 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Do you think I'm too late to ask Santa for one this Christmas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toner Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Sadly it doesn't come with all the bits (But I imagine they are relatively easy to get.) On a semi related note, I found this video about a 'rat rod' jeep. These guys bought one and are taking it to a bar in the desert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fayjo56 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Wow! Hmmmm, Dear Santa.......... Great to hear M D Juan staff are all ok. I no longer have a Jeep, but thought of them when watching the news as 'our' link to the phillipines, so thanks for that info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locolines Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I wonder how much a jeep in a box is ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gas 44 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I wonder who will be the first to have one validated by the MVT as a "1944" willys MB. Oh and by the way, they were all issued to either 101st or 82nd Airbourne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairbairn Sykes Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Its not a Jeep in a crate I know but the other day I was working in a Barn that was lined out with Jeep crates, the markings are clear to see and there was dates etc stamped on the panels, this barn is about 2 miles from the Welland Show Ground, I did ask if there was any still with the iron bit inside??

I would think without doubt that these crates came from Ashchurch. The US Army was based there during the war and the crates were brought in from the docks, presume Bristol. There was an assembly line set up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairbairn Sykes Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Richard, you are bang on the mark regards the crates (empty that is) the now owner told me his Grandad collected the packing chests from the Camp F.O.C. with just a small drink being pressed into the hand of him that knows stuff, plus the fact that they later bought a few Jeeps as they were sold off to use around their Farm, I can recall a Farm at Strensham (near the M5 J8) using a Jeep engine to keep open the Farm Gate upto at least the mid 1990's, the engine had turned into a brown mass but it was totaly complete with Carb and plugs etc. Fairbairn Sykes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have had so much packing case wood they would not know what to do with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadline Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Sad part is that its still a poorly made MD Juan tub. Even in the video I saw poor paint (primer showing through)... you think they would touch up a promotional jeep for a video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
