Vehicle Detail

RELISTED DUE TO NON-PAYING BIDDER WHEN THE VIETNAM WAR ENDED, ALL THE NEW UNUSED SURPLUS M151A1 AND A2 MILITARY JEEPS WERE AUCTIONED OFF. BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT DEEMED SUITABLE FOR HIGHWAY USE, BRAND SPANKING NEW JEEPS WERE CUT IN HALF WHEN SOLD AT AUCTION. ENCORE VEHICLES IN FLORIDA BOUGHT THESE NEW UNUSED JEEPS IN 2 PARTS, FORMED NEW "TUBS"(BODIES) AND REASSEMBLED THE NEW UNUSED PARTS ONTO THE NEW TUB/BODIES WITH ROPS CAGES AND SEAT BELTS. OTHER THAN THE NEW BODIES BEING HEAVIER GAUGE STEEL THAN THE ORIGINAL MILITARY UNITS, THEY ARE PRACTICALLY IDENTICAL TO THE ORIGINAL JEEPS. ALL THE ORIGINAL PARTS ARE TRANSFERED TO THE NEW TUB BODIES AND HAVE ALL THE ORIGINAL ORDINANCE AND CONTRACT NUMBERS. THIS JEEP WAS ASSEMBLED IN 1997 AND TITLED AS SUCH. IT COMES WITH A ROPS CAGE AND TOP WITH BACK- NO SIDES. ALL PARTS ARE EASILY AND QUITE CHEAPLY AVAILABLE FOR THESE JEEPS THROUGH MANY SURPLUS SUPPLIERS- I PAID $19 FOR A NEW REPLACEMENT STEERING WHEEL! THERE IS NO COMPARISON TO A CIVILIAN JEEP, THIS MILITARY UTILITY TACTICAL TRUCK (TITLED MUTT) IS AN OFF ROAD MONSTER THAT CAN DRIVE ALL DAY PARTIALLY SUBMERGED. IT HAS 4 WHEEL INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION WITH NO DIFFERENTIAL HANGING DOWN- IT IS THE 1/4 TON TRUCK PREDECESSOR TO THE HUMMER. IT IS IN PERFECT SHAPE AND CAN DRIVE ANYWHERE- ONLY 7500 MILES- ITS NOT EVEN BROKEN IN.
