BIG WILLY: Giant Nearly 2-to-1 Scale 1942 Willys MB Flatfender Jeep | EP33

At 4.5 times more volume than the original Flatfender Willys MB and Ford GPW, Big Willy might land us in jail if we drove it outside the US. And when it's parked next to a restored 1942 WWII military jeep, the 1.648:1 scaled hand-built Willys replica makes Nicole look like a five-year-old girl behind the 27" diameter steering wheel. A Burning Man spectacle, Ian Liljeblad's WWII veterans' tribute is a capable off-road machine, complete with rear steer, Warn locking hubs, Dana 60 axles, Offroad Design Magnum planetary gear reduction box, differential lockers, and a Cummins R2.8 diesel crate motor.
