THe first night we were out with the Willys, as quite a few probably already read, we went to a Sonic's on a night that just happened to be the night a Jeep club was meeting there. We had really been concerned as to how "real" jeep people might percieve the Mammoth, but it was well recieved all around. And when we showed up for the Willys reunion that following weekend, they were even more psyched. As we pulled up, the one guy that had the really pristine Willy's said something to the effect of saving a place for us!
Even though they knew we were only Willys in outward appearance they loved everything MrW had done. It's an appreciation for the craft, not what your driving.
