Military Jeeps...(was 6 cyl. YJ or 4 cyl. TJ?????????)
 
The crated Jeeps, or "Jeeps in a barrel" for "as low as $50" is an old
urban legend. I'd love to hear from one person who's purchased one. Now,
if you're talking about a legitimate military auction where surplus is
sold, your friend is not intimating that whole actual SWB Jeeps are
still available is he? Do tell.
