Click Here are some photos of an abandoned Japanese light tank on Guam. It is located near a golf course where thousands of Japanese tourists come to play golf.. They have no idea this Japanese relic, used by their grandfathers is so close to them.. It’s hidden and unmarked in ten-foot-high sword grass that surrounds the golf course. --dan |

Be sure to click on this picture.
Some of the Tappets
on this Japanese tank engine look
good enough that they could be adjusted right now.
I'm super surprised
how good of condition that these parts are in after all of these years of
sitting in the jungle..

Click Here is a 1941 jeep.
It’s ex-military, of
course.
It’s known as a “scrambled” jeep among the military vehicle
collectors because it has a Willys body mounted to a Ford running gear and
engine..
The best of both worlds.
The classic Willys body with the
beefier, heavier ford box frame, rather than the willys channel frame..
At one time in its military life, this jeep went through a rebuild depot,
and this is the way they put her back together again.
I’ve seen others
like that..
Although they’re looked down
upon by the military vehicles
collectors club, I say that their place in history is just as legit as the
purebreds, because this is the way the army put her back together while
still with the army!
This little jeep is perfect for running around town
and into the nearby mountains.
