In this episode of Gas, Wheels, Motors, and Rotors, Red dives deep into the legendary Jeep Willys MB — the rugged little war machine that helped win WWII and went on to change the automotive world forever. From its 1940 origins and Go-Devil engine specs, to over 640,000 units produced, battlefield stories, and its transition into the CJ civilian Jeeps, Red brings the history to life with humor, rants, and fake ads you won’t want to miss.
Discover how the Willys Jeep became the backbone of U.S. Army mobility, why General Eisenhower called it one of the most important weapons of WWII, and how it kickstarted today’s off-road culture — from Wranglers to Land Rovers and everything in between.
So buckle up, grab your gas-station coffee, and ride along as Red unpacks the story of the OG off-roader: the Jeep Willys.
