2021 Willys Rally Day #2

Steve shared these images from day two's 'Top of the World' jeep trip.

Steve wrote, "On Sunday, Casey led a group of 12 vintage Jeeps and four modern iron up the Top Of The World trail. Two Jeeps had a mechanical breakdown. All the Willys with factory Jeep engines made it to the top without a problem. Breakdowns included a radiator vs. fan, and a broken steering rag joint. No one was left stranded. The group took care of each other and no one was left behind."\

its great too see a FC-170 in action !! , reminds me of the old days ( early 1970's ) when my buddy had one and it was tipping over sideways on a redwood forest jeep trail and i tried to hold it up BY HAND !! .. i was not crushed and later spotted the FC on your site here for sale , it was in dismal shape , roof caved in , smashed to hell , somewhere in the northern sierras of kaliphornia .. nobody ever throws a jeep away , they live forever !

Steve's FC has factory powr-lok in the front and rear which really helped us climb those ledges. I'm pretty sure both of us had stupid big grins. I can't wait for the videos to come out!
