Great Vid - Hard to go past basic mechanics with few electronics for reliability. Keep it up, i'll be watching.

Looks like all the vehicles handled themselves very well. Cant wait to get my '65 rolling. Great vid.

At 4:00 it looks like someone's working on a starter. How did your GPW stand up to the sand?

[1944GPW]

Yes, that's a starter that need repairing. That and the brakes were the most serious problems on that trip, it went very smoothly.

Driving along the hard-packed beach sand was absolutely easy, but inland we encountered fine loose sand and the jeeps constantly needed steering corrections. I spent three days washing the jeep carefully when I got back to remove all the sand.

Fraser loves to play with starter motors. I'v had trouble with mine twice on the island, and I'v seen many other people in a similar boat. The sand and salt gets into them and they wont fire. The first one that went, the Island's mechanic took it apart, cleaned it and it was good as new again, the 2nd one was damaged and had to be replaced. Push starting is a great memory of mine on fraser haha.

[cmtecarvalho]

Great adventure fellow, congratulations for it and for your Willys! I'm also a Willys owner (1978 Brazilian Cj5 nicknamed "Thunderbolt"). See you!

that's really cool! I could only imagine how beautiful it would have been in person. It's really cool how you drove to a shipwreck that was still there.

I've watched your video a few times. A lot of great Military Vehicles in your video. We have similar terrain here in Florida. Please check out my Jeep Ditty video. You'll get a kick out of the song I wrote for the ride.
