Jeep Patriot-still OK to start school

Let's be honest, the days of big SUV roboform2go. Every day now TV reports saying that fuel prices will continue to grow because of the huge demand for oil, particularly from developing countries. After a few minutes on the Internet will tell you that even the United States a motorist enters increased fuel costs (some say not prematurely) and the buyer of a new car will take tough decisions before their next purchase.

I watched a program on TV at night about a guy who trade in its £ 40 k BMW for electric cars, and he uses it to travel into Central London every day. I thought it was a very commendable, as it makes a great sacrifice for his status as an Executive car. It was a pretty big guy, and crammed into this thing and looked rather awkward a bit like when you were a kid and your dad's car pedal force yourself as you look into mourning. Guy though I guess that on average he save himself around £ 9 k a year and took advantage of free parking and congestion charge and not just drove in tiny underground parking and connect it to your car. I think if he got drunk after work he pretty much can take a car back home by train.

I thought it was all fine if all you need for the next day was a lunchbox and Financial Times (possibly with catalogue clothes Harrods, tucked between pages), but as anyone with young children will know when it comes to transporting your little darlings even before the end of the road does not Remove the trucks will be enough to cart around all their stuff!

Gravely for a moment, if I may, the Government seems to be defined for each whiz around in a small electric micro bubbles without any considerations for an average family with their 5 children and 2. the poor old dog. When we went away for an overnight stay for some time our car was packed to the roof with things and knowing that my luggage was made up of toothbrush and a pair of underpants (well may) I realized that the rest belong to our 17 month old daughter.

We have an ancient Land Rover Discovery, and I feel quite justified in his possession, as we live in rural Warwickshire, where if you drove a car it will either disappear forever down one of the many potholes or debited from a Badger. However, when dropping off my daughter's nursery, I noticed people reduce their vehicles, although unlike in parts of London, which will be met by a crowd baying anti-4 x 4 protesters hurling abuse at you, I've noticed a few raised eyebrowsthat amount to the same thing in these parts.

If you really cannot survive without some SUV that aid could be at hand on something like a Jeep Patriot. Although the name is a tad low quite nationalist car itself, unless of course you go and put privacy glass and 18 "alloys.

Patriot has a lower ground clearance than the much larger SUV, and you need only to draw four wheel drive, whenever you need it so that when people say "look at them in their 4 x 4" you can say "well actually it is a two-wheel drivemost of the time, and then laugh as they gain in crude camps as you safely drive. Patriot capital, however, is its fuel economy, which is about 50 mpg for city and 42 mpg diesel hybrid models, which I wanted to go, also respectable CO2 at about 180 g/km for diesel fuel. Insurance group is quite low.

So if you need a room somewhere and actually take your family with you the Patriot could be a car you're looking for, and you'll still be able to climb at the school gate without hanging your head in shame!

Jeep Grand Cherokee correct balance every bit as polished and stylish as their fellow Land Rover. 6.1 V8 is one of the most aggressive, I was away from sports cars and any concerns about the complexity of the vehicle directly at a discount, when you understand that the V8 is capable of.

The name "Jeep"

If you do a search on the Internet, there is a huge amount of disinformation concerning how the quarter-ton came to be called the "jeep". Some of the posters claim that it might have come from the slurring of the initials for "General Purpose Vehicle" or "GP". Some go on to claim that the 1/4-ton was called a "general purpose vehicle". This is not true but there is truth about at least part of it.

No one can be certain about when the term "jeep" first came into common usage. Merriam-Websters' Online Dictionary states the jeep is "a small general-purpose motor vehicle with 80-inch wheelbase, 1/4-ton capacity, and four-wheel drive used by the U.S. Army in World War II; also : a similar but larger and more powerful U.S. army vehicle". But they don't explain where the word jeep is derived.

In the book, Hail To The JEEP! by A. Wade Wells, a Major E.P. Hogan is quoted as saying, "Jeep is an old Army grease-monkey term that dates back to the last war and was used by shop mechanics in referring to any new motor vehicle received for test. In recent years the word has been used especially by the Armored Force but not in relation to the 1/4-ton. Just when this generally used term was specifically applied to the vehicle it now describes is hard to say." This is the passage that Major Hogan is often cited as having written in an article in Quartermaster Review in 1941. Then Lieutenant Hogan wrote two articles for Quartermaster Review in 1941. The first was entitled "The Bug" and the second was "The Story of the Quarter-Ton".

In the first article published in the March-April 1941 issue, the vehicle is not referred to as a "jeep". However, other names such as, "bantam," "puddle-jumper," "bug" are specifically mentioned. Other sources, like Rifkind, tell us it was also called "jeep," "geep," "blitz buggy," and "leaping lena."

In the September-October, 1941 issue of Quartermaster Review, Hogan referred to the quarter-ton as a "jeep" and a "peep". He does not discuss the origin of the name as is often attributed to him 

The name "Jeep" was finally associated with the quarter-ton on a world-wide basis when Katherine "Katy" Hillyer wrote an article in the Washington Daily News in February, 1941. Irving "Red" Hausmann was demonstrating the jeep in Washington and Ms. Hillyer, a reporter, was their to cover the story. According to Mr. Wade after the demonstration was over, she asked what was the thing called. Mr Hausmann, replied, "It's a Jeep." Shortly after publication in the newspaper the name "Jeep" was permanently affixed to the little vehicle...except maybe in the Armored Forces which insist that a "jeep" is a 1/2-ton Dodge Command Car.

Jeep is a registered mark of Daimler-Chrysler. However, "jeep" is a generic term associated with all WW2 1/4-ton vehicles (and in some cases Dodge Command Cars.)

In many books and websites you see poor Lt. Hogan misquoted about where the name "jeep" came from. But he has some other interesting words as well.

An outstanding feature of the "bantam" is the success with which four wheel drive has been adapted to it. Its front axle can be used wither as a driving axle or an idling axle and, while the four-wheel drive feature in smaller vehicles is an adaptation of the Army's usual design, in the "puddle-jumper" the resulting performance has been far greater even than anticipated. "Bugs" are built for maximum cross-country mobility - an indispensable requirement in modern warfare - which is greatly increased by having power in all four wheels.    

 

Now Hogan was a Quartermaster Corps man but reading this it seems to say that the jeep wasn't a "new" idea so much as its performance was outstanding.

Also on the Internet you can find an article by the famous "jeep" author, Ray Cowdery. I've known Ray for a long time and count him among my "jeep" friends. In the article, "How the jeep * got its name.....", Ray seeks to disclose the meaning of jeep and how it became associated with the vehicle during WW2.

Ray is a great guy but this article is filled with way too much conjecture and too little fact. I shudder at the WW II US Army Air Force reference to the B-25 bomber as "Baker Two-Bits" and the universal "Duece-and-a-Half" name for the 2-1/2 ton truck are but two examples. Where does that come from? I've never heard of the Baker reference for the B-25 but that doesn't mean it isn't true. 

I know that Military Vehicle Magazine was looking for (even running a contest) evidence that during WW2 the "Jimmy" or GMC 2 1/2-ton truck was ever referred to as a "duece-and-a-half" during WW2. As far as I know no evidence has been presented.

Sure the now well known part about Ford GP, "G" for government vehicles and the "P" for 80 inch wheelbase reconnaissance. But other than Ray's article were is there evidence that "GP" was slurred together to form jeep? Now I will admit that I am in this camp too but I have found dang little evidence.

Evidence has been found in the Army Motors of WW2:

May, 1941 (See The Geep is a General Purpose Vehicle! ):

"Distributor shafts on the 1/4-ton 4x4 Ford "GEEPs"' are binding or seizing in distributor housing due to apparent lack of lubrication. This is due to the 40-12141 oiler felt inserted in the B-10141 oiler assembly in base of the GP-12124 distributor housing not allowing sufficient lubricant to seep through to keep distributor shaft properly lubricated. It is essential to remove this oiler felt immediately. Take a long pointed needle or any pointed piece of thin wire and bend a very small hook at a 90 degree angle at the pointed end and 'fish' out the felt in the oiler passageway. After oiler felt is removed, oiler should be filled with oil."    

And yet another tidbit!

"Parts lists and maintenance manuals for the 1941, 1/4-ton, 4x4 Ford "GEEP" have been issued as TM 1100 and TM 1101. This should read TM 10-1100 and TM 10-1101. Correct your copies and refer to them as TM 10-1100 and TM 10-1101 in all correspondence."

Are there any other references to the Ford GP being referred to as "GEEP"?

The other reference that could tie in is that of "general purpose".  This may be old news to some of you but the jeep was a general purpose vehicle! Now how in the world can that be you ask incredulously? Where do I come up with such heresy? After all it was a command and recon car or lightweight liaison vehicle, right? Well, I have been doing some research into some early documents.

The earliest specifications for what would become the jeep called for an armored windshield for the driver. Apparently, this was done to expedite the process of procuring the vehicle. This would put it in the Ordnance class of vehicles. And in fact it was briefly in the hands of the Ordnance Committee. After further study it was recommended to be turned over to the Quartermaster  committee.

So why do I say that this is a general purpose vehicle. The Quartermaster only procured general purpose vehicles. These were in the form of either Administrative (like a staff car) or tactical (the jeep would be one of those). In fact, evidence of this is stated in Army Regulation 850-15 as quoted by Book 120 Field Artillery, Automotive Instruction, 1941 Edition: 

"Classification: General-Purpose Motor Vehicles--All wheeled vehicles adapted for general hauling purposes including general cargo, ammunition, personnel, and equipment; and for towing trailers, guns, and other wheeled equipment. Examples: Cargo trucks, dump trucks, passenger vehicles, ambulances."    

 

"Estimates, Design, Development, Procurement, Maintenance, Storage, and Issue: By the Quartermaster Corps, except the design and development of ambulances, which will be by the Medical Department in collaboration with the Quartermaster Corps."

The same Book 120 also defines "truck". Trucks are "motor-propelled vehicles designed primarily for carrying cargo or equipment. They may be used for carrying personnel or for towing purposes." Still further it provides a chart that lists the Truck, 1/4-ton, 4x4, Ford, 1941. The chart defines 'purpose' for us.  The purpose will be indicated by stating the general character of the body or the use for which the vehicle is designed.  The trucks maybe for "cargo, light repair, reconnaissance, dump, tank, cargo and dump, wrecking, or pick-up."  The jeep's (or Geep!) purpose is reconnaissance.

Herbert R. Rifkind in his The Jeep--Its Development and Procurement Under the Quartermaster Corps, 1940-1942, states that jeep while no one is certain, of course, may have been derived from general purpose. "The initial letters of the War Department's vehicle classification, "general purpose" (G.P.), under which the 1/4-ton was listed, into a monosyllable. Credence is lent to this theory by the fact that an early spelling variation of the word was "geep"."

The other problem I see in the article by Ray is the leap of faith in what the meaning of "GPW" means. The documents displayed clearly show what "GP" means but what about the "W". It may be "logical" but it is still just an assumption. It could easily stand for "Willys", "War Department" or "What Happened?" for that matter. Willys because the geeps were patterned after the Willys model. War Department because the War Department asked Henry to produce the Willys model.  What happened?  Because Ford had the deal all sewed up until the government agency "watchdog" over-ruled the QMC and awarded the contract for 16,000 standardized vehicles to Willys because they were the lowest cost.

*-The term used here and throughout my Blog or website relates to the vehicle purchased by the US Army prior to and during World War II BEFORE Willys-Overland trade-marked the name "JEEP".  The trade-mark "JEEP" is owned by Daimler-Chrysler.  The use here is only for identification purposes.

Robert Notman has authored or edited several books related to the WW2 jeep, including Military Maintenance for MB/GPW Jeeps 1941-45, BANTAM, FORD AND WILLYS-1/4-TON RECONNAISSANCE CARS, WW2 Pilot Model--The Ford Pygmy, Automotive Trouble Shooting for WW2 Wheeled Vehicles: Volume 1, and Automotive Trouble Shooting For WW2 Wheeled Vehicles: Volume 2.
