Neat. I would have thought that was a 2WD car.

Re: Jeep Toad
 

Looks like the problem in that video is that particular Libby has an
open rear end, if it had Twin Traction (er positraction) it looks like
it would have driven right out.

Bill why don't you go piss up a rope? He's got a perfectly valid point.
A CJ5 is a great inexpensive jeep project... if you've got a year or two
and 4 or 5 grand to spend restoring and rebuilding your $1500 CJ5...
Assuming you stay stock and don't upgrade anything at all. Drums all
around, no power anything and a wheezy 1960's 8 cylinder topping out at
just over 100 horse power at the wheels if you're lucky.

$5500 will buy you 2 or 3 cherokee's with Power everything, cold AC hot
defrost, a modern era brake system, a 145 HP (rear wheel) fuel injected
semi-modern power plant; and in need of maybe an oil change and new
brake pads (or whatever).

Re: Jeep Toad
 

I seen that video a number of times and the thought that goes through my
mine is that the driver intended to get stuck.

He is driving on the right edge where the road is quite uneven and it
appears that if he was centered in the lane or to the left that the roadway
was fairly level.
