Re: M151 MUTT replica kit
 

We called it by it's nomenclature: M151 Military Utility Tactical
Truck. Calling it a Jeep would sound as stupid as calling an M16 a gun,
and probably get you a hundred push ups.

Re: M151 MUTT replica kit
 

Actually the cage was a standard mod on the Canadian vehicles. They
were added in in the mid 70s when it was noticed that the death rate
from accidents was going up after seat belts were installed in the
early 70's :(. The US military added a similar ("ROPS") cage to
thiers about the same time. Moral? Seat belts save lives, but only
in Jeeps (or things that look like Jeeps) when used in conjunction
with a properly engineered roll cage.

p.s.- The cages are made out of steel too :). h.

You mean like a certain pseudo-offroad vehicle with vertical radiator
bars using a PEUGEOT transmission and made by a company once owned by
RENAULT?

Vive le difference!
