Expedição Brasil Uruguai 2012: Novembro 2011. Sei que ao escrever este capítulo corro o risco de perder muitas das minhas leitoras, ser levado para a inquisição do mundo da Luluzinha e de ver até mesmo, este livro lançado à fogueira do inferno. Mas, mesmo assim correrei este risco, por força da necessidade de ser justo com os veículos e seus adoradores.

Costumo dizer que em relação ao jeep, há dois tipos de mulheres: as burras e as espertas. As burras dizem: – Ou eu ou o jeep! . As espertas ficam com os dois, o jeep e o marido (namorado, amante, agregado, parceiro etc). Vi também uma quadrinha rimada que assim dizia – “ a minha gata queria dar uma voltinha, Pegar meu jeep e sair por aí sozinha. Disse pra ela que para mim estava claro, Deixe meu jeep e vá pro shopping com outro carro. Ela falou que era ela ou meu carro, Que não gostava de ficar suja de barro. Ai que saudades que eu sinto do seu perfume, Eu largo tudo, mas do jeep tenho ciúme. Mas não vamos radicalizar nem dispensar uma boa (no sentido figurado) companhia feminina. Photo by acgonzaga.

Steering wheel - to get the jeep into a Horsa glider this was made detachable using a wingnut and the horn button relocated to the dashboard, usually to the left of the blackout switch.

Front bumper - the left side had to be cut shorter to the point where it is attached to the chassis brackets also in order to get the vehicle into a Horsa. In practice, the other side was also shortened to maintain a symmetrical appearance. The remaining bumper was then reinforced and a towing hook added for pushing or towing. Handles and footboard - the side and rear handles were removed together with the right footboard for easier manoeuvrability into a Horsa. Spade and pickaxe brackets - also removed from the side for the same reason. Jerrycan holder - this was moved from the rear of the vehicle to between the two front seats. Spare wheel - in some cases e.g. Carriers - the following were added for various uses according to unit. Screened and suppressed electric's. 5kW 110V generator. Photo by acgonzaga. YouTube.

I acquired my 1942 Ford GPW in 2003 as a wreck, I paid too much for it and I bought it on a whim because I did not touch it for another 7 years! Whilst watching a repeat of the Goodwood Revival on the TV over New Year 2010, my wife mentioned that she would like to go to the Goodwood Revival. I stated that I did not have a suitable vehicle only to be told "why don't you restore that old jeep? " Like a fool I said great idea. The vehicle was dragged out from the back of our storage unit and totally dismantled. She was in a bad way! So everything went off to the sandblasters. Not much came back! The chassis had been badly repaired and was also bent.

The body was equally bad, floors shot, rear panel missing, rear quarters shot, glove box internals cut away etc. In hind sight it would have been cheaper to have bought a new chassis and body but then it's a replica not a 1942 Ford Jeep. The chassis was totally dismantled and the legs straightened on our jig. British WWII Airborne Jeep Trailer. The white metal square on the axle is used with a flood lamp for blackout convoy purposes in the same way as the Airborne Jeeps rear differential was painted white.

The flood lamp and right side rear running light are turned on by the black bakelite switch beneath the trailer. A second connector is also on the rear to allow power to be supplied to another trailer if needed. Power is passed from the towing vehicle down the cable in the center which runs to a Bakelite junction block. It then goes to the Bakelite lamp switch which has two positions. One to supply power to the blackout axle flood lamp and one to provide power to the running lamps at the sides. The power cable that runs to the towing vehicle could be plugged into a receptacle on the side of the front tow beam when not being used.

The trailer had hand-operated wheel brakes which were used when the trailer was unlimbered and parked. Airborne Jeep Parts. Airborne Jeep Parts Note.

42FordGPW - Home. GPW_In_Detail. - The '42 GPW - in Detail - Al has the most perfect '42 Ford jeep I have ever seen, with the exception of the lock out hubs, a necessity , as it saves on fuel costs, wear and tear , and as Al uses his jeep regularly , (with now over 40,000 miles up since restoration) , I totally agree with their use, Some will disagree, but then, they don't live in New Zealand and pay the extremely high costs of fuel. If you click on the photo in the middle, you'll see both Al's '42 GPW and Ewan Macpherson's Willys MB jeep at Ranfurly, New Zealand, the gun is a 1943 Anti-Aircraft (3" bore) a World War 2 Memorial Trophy. The pic on the right was taken at a rest stop during the New Zealand Rally 2001, it was cold, wet & miserable, ( and yes, it did snow earlier that morning) we braved the weather in an open jeep, and if I had been asked to do it again, I wouldn't hesitate for a second. Thanks to Al, BB and The Jeep Owners Club of New Zealand for the best time of my life.

Al's explanation is below. Note!.... Jeep Guerreiro - Utilitários Willys e a mecanização militar brasileira: Setembro 2011. Acima, roda-livre manual. Abaixo, o modelo automático do Jeep. O inventor da roda-livre foi o americano Arthur Warn, de Seattle, lá no início dos anos 50. No Brasil, a primeira roda-livre foi lançada pela AVM em 1957. Em 1953, três amigos a bordo de um CJ-3B do mesmo ano, se aventuraram numa viagem de mais de 70.000 km, subindo as Américas e chegando até o Alasca. Na volta, conheceram o americano e instalaram aquele equipamento até então inédito para eles, e devido ao excelente resultado , Hugo Vidal, que chefiava a expedição, teve a idéia de produzi-lo no Brasil, sob a licença de Warn.

O sucesso do equipamento veio logo, tamanha a sua utilidade. Mas porque a roda-livre deu tão certo? Uma roda-livre não costuma dar manutenção e só deve ser desmontada quando tivermos de trocar um rolamento de roda por exemplo, ou quando a própria roda-livre precisar ser trocada por causa de mau funcionamento. Sim, mas por quê o Jeep demorou tanto para adotar esse equipamento? MB GPW Premier Parts. MB GPW Fuel Tanks The fuel tank monopoly is over!
