Photos take at Heartland Military Museum. One take at Fort Carson.
Wasn't there something wrong with the front end independent suspension that caused these things to roll over?
One thing I HATE to see in a war flick, is a MUTT presented as a WW2 jeep...little details is one thing, that is just lazy.

Yes there is a horrible thing wrong with the front end. If any one of the front wheels leaves the ground to far, it kinda pole vaults after landing. I think the "fix" was to add chain to the front suspension (A arms) to limit travel.
Did you know these are not legal to register in the US? The US Government had to scrap all and was not allowed to sell to the public. I want a real one just because of that!
I agree with you on the War flick! I feel that way about a lot of equipment in the movies. Then again it does make for neat model subjects.

I did not know that and now that you mention it, I've never seen one in private hands. Again with the McNamara DOD.
Gene, what about the Mustangs as Folke Wulfs.

Its been 'bout 25 years since my last ride in an old M-151, yet I seem to remember a red 3x5 placard on the passengers side that read something to the effect: "WARNING: Do not attempt turns in excess of 20 mph." They'd flip over, fish tail / throw guys out. It was worse when puling a small cargo trailer or generator - they'd jack knife easily. But boy howdy they were sure fun to drive.
