Описание книги

AMC/Jeep expert Patrick Foster <b>provides 1001 facts covering all makes, models, shapes, and sizes that made the Jeep brand so popular over the last 75+ years</b>! <p>Included are the military Jeeps; Willys Jeep wagons, pickups, and forward control models; CJ-5, 6, 7, 8 and 10 variants; full-size Jeep Wagoneer, Gladiator, and Cherokee models; the Jeepsters and Commandos; the XJ Cherokee, Wagoneer, and Commanche models; the Wrangler YJ, TJ, and JK models; and finally, the overseas models. <p>Jeeps have an enduring popularity that has spanned decades and generations, from the very first purpose-built military vehicles to the modern mall lot warriors of today. Originally owned by Willys, then AMC, then Chrysler, then Fiat, the Jeep brand has outlived some of the manufacturers that produced them. Jeeps are icons; the brands and the style of the original Jeeps are globally recognized. While having evolved more radically in recent times, they have a universal appeal that persists to this day. <p>Each of the eight chapters covering the models listed will provide interesting facts related to legend and lore, body and interior, engine and driveline, suspension and brakes, and finally number crunching and press commentary. It is the first Jeep book of its kind. Join Jeep expert and historian Foster as he relives everything cool and fun about the Jeep. No Jeeper’s library should be without it.

54 Any GI will tell you that the standard Jeep front seats are very uncomfortable after a while. However, they’re much preferred over the back seat, which is situated right over the rear axle, guaranteeing a rough ride and supposedly even bringing on a case of the piles. Officers usually rode in the front passenger seat and left their underlings to suffer in the back seat. Generals who liked to be in control would even drive, letting their “driver” have the front passenger seat.

55 The military Jeep body was built of low-carbon steel, which was 18 gauge for the exterior body panels and 16 gauge for the floor. The body was bolted to the frame via 16 bolts. Initially, the builders inserted rubber dampers between the body and the frame at the bolt holes to help insulate noise. After a while, wartime restrictions on rubber were instituted because India was under Japanese occupation, and that was where most rubber came from. The situation forced Willys to change to fabric shims. As a side note, the wartime shortage of rubber was also the impetus to the invention of synthetic rubber.
