The Mutt // '73 CJ5

In 1951 the military awarded Ford with a contract to replace the M38A1. The new 1/4-ton 4x4 was called the Military Utility Tactical Truck, or MUTT for short. The MUTT utilized coil springs and independent suspension front and rear. Despite the horizontal grill slots, the MUTT is often mistaken for a Jeep. Manny Alvarez's CJ5 is the real Jeep mutt though, not those rollover-prone Ford military vehicles. Manny picked up the CJ5 in 2005 with a 21/2-inch lift and 33-inch tires. He purchased the Jeep to use for hunting trips, but after one trip to the Chile Challenge in Las Cruces, New Mexico, Manny was hooked on rockcrawling.
