What was better the vw kubel or the jeep willys
They should start making repro kubelwagen bodies, I'd buy one in a heart beat.
>>28949958Idk know if its the fenders or the soft top but i love the look of the kubo better than the thing.
>>28949935Which one won the war?Yeah, thought so.
Interesting pic, that's an early "Slatgrille" Willys.Anyhow, the Typ82 was an an interesting take, but the lack of 4WD was an admitted deficit. The related Schwimm and Kommadurwagen both used a 4WD system, that could (and should) have been fitted to the Typ82.The biggest issues the MB/GPW had were it's tendency to roll the front axle under heavy braking causing unexpected veering of the vehicle. This was corrected very quickly and it why all post '42 "jeeps" have that odd spring on the LH front stack.
>>28949958There was a company in New Mexico called "KoobleKar" that made a few. They are still "somewhat in business" and the handful I saw looked well made, but their production time is best measured in metrics used for continental drift.
>>28949935The Jeep was the first to get stuck. The Power Wagon the second. The VW, with 200 pounds of stuff in the back NEVER got stuck. I also drove it over Teton Pass in three feet of snow. The front wheels were off the highway and acted as rudders.
>>28949975>The VW, with 200 pounds of stuff in the backThat's a hell of a way to talk about your wife!
>>28949975that's nuts that they worked outwish we would do cool exploration shit with modern cars
>>28949965The kubel wagons front end is aggressive and the tire in the front gives the utilitarian look similar to the early bugs. Before they all become quirky
>>28950007Nine thats a kdf wagon.
>>28949966There's no 1911 Colt 45 in that pic
