Default 2012 interpretation of an MB willys?

Does anyone have any examples of this? You know, shovels, axes, basic jeep. No giant lifts or expensive wheels, etc (the willys MB had neither of those) Not looking for the military j8 photos or the very cool expedition jeeps that I've seen on here (Mark, I'm looking at you). I just want to see if anyone has done a 2012 rendition of the mb willys workhorse.

That is a great idea, the wheels are turning. .Once the M38A-1 is done, that would be fun. .

I've been thinking about this as well. I've been dreaming of white steel wheels with black "hubs" poking through and tall skinny tires. Not quite MB but more that sixties jeep look.

This is the closest I've seen so far.

That's what i'm going for with mine, but the wheels are probably bigger than you'd like.

I'm not going for a literal interpretation; it's more of an homage.

Default Willys Wagon

Not an MB but a manifestation of a Willys Wagon.

This is a great looking setup.
