Many of you may have viewed this already as it has been around for awhile. I have viewed this a few times, recently on the Cal4wheel website. Really enjoyed the trip back in time. There are two parts.

Reminds me of wheeling with my dad and his buddies when I was a kid.

Yup....that is pretty cool. Considering the equipment, that had to be one heck of a tough trip.

They made the entire trip in a day. I can't get passed little sluice in a day.

I still can't believe they made the entire trip in a day. They make it look so easy in that film. I loved watching that film. Thank you for putting it up there. I've had my Jeep since 04 and I have never seen that old film.

I finally got a chance to watch that!

It's a great look into the way it used to be. Actually, my stock Scrambler is more like the Jeeps in that video than the great rigs I've seen out there lately.

I saw a Willy's Wagon in there. I've always like those.

Anyone know what year that was actually filmed in?

Not quite sure of the years but it looked like in the early 60's. I was looking for my father.:smile:
But all the men looked alike with the cool white tee-shirts.

LOL. That was pretty funny. I noticed that while watching. Nowadays each person has their own style even if they are wearing the old reliables. In these films, all of the guys look alike especially if they wear a hat. Nothing different. At least now, sunglasses or haircuts help distinguish people.

Great old video!

I noticed most of them had no roll cages let alone a Full roll cage a lot of us are running! And then there is the suspensions and tires, ouch my back hurts just thinking about it!

I am hitting the Rubicon July 10-12, can't wait!
