So this gem was spotted out in Orleans on Cape Cod.

Guess Jeep has been working on this far longer than we thought.

Where’s the back up camera and can a sheet of plywood fit in that?

So I came across this Jeep video which explains this thing a bit.



It’s a factory tub bolt on to allow you to carry lumber etc.

Please note that serious utility is baked right in with the PTO and 3 point lift etc.

I doubt we will ever see a PTO or factory hydro again but it’s cool to see them in their prime.

Side note, I guess it actually is pronounced “Willis” and not “Willies”.

Yes, my dad was in the car business, owned a Willys Jeep, and always pronounced it "Willis" not "Willies"
