Hello,
I'm from Butler,Pennsylvania USA
"The birthplace of the Jeep" The Jeep was created here at the Bantam factory by Karl Probst. The factory also produced the legendary bantam trailer for both military and civilian use. Here are some photo's. One of the Bantam factory. The red brick building is where the jeep was created. The trailer is a very early bantam civilian model in which they used left over military parts to complete. The Jeep is my ride. A 1979 cj7.

Very nice, just goes to show we are very much behind the times in the mods race :D. Welcome aboard, very interesting post :)

I'd say our stateside brothers are winning on the "roadworthy legislations" race too. ;)

Been a long, snowy winter here. Just working & hibernating... Getting some modifications done to the cj. Dana 44's fr & rr. 4.56's, Detroit locker in the rr & a OX locker in the fr. Should be ready this spring for some trails.
