At 4.5 times more volume than the original Flatfender Willys MB and Ford GPW, Big Willy might land us in jail outside the US. And when it's parked next to a restored 1942 WWII military jeep, the 1.648:1 scaled hand-built Willys replica makes Nicole look like a five-year-old girl behind the 27" diameter steering wheel. A Burning Man spectacle, Ian Liljeblad's WWII veterans' tribute is a capable off-road machine, complete with rear steer, Warn locking hubs, Dana 60 axles, Offroad Design Magnum planetary gear reduction box, differential lockers, and a Cummins R2.8 diesel crate motor.
