The horizontal grill suggests NOT A JEEP, but we're trying to figure out what it might be. Anyone see something they recognize?
Can anyone identify this Jeep lookalike?

No M151 looks totally different and has IFS front & rear. I had a LOVE/HATE relationship with those things in the Army...
Here is an M151
Wonder if they did the grill that way to get around marketing infringement problems?

Its a CJ5 with one of the many fiberglass front end kit offerings from the few aftermarket vendors that were around back then.
OP
That's what I thought initially, but no picture I could find of a Mahindra looks like that. My husband found this on Bimini and it's RHD, so it could be a Frankenstein's monster of parts.
OP
I'll cause the problems here. It doesn't look like any CJ5 I've ever seen. Well maybe kinda like a CJ5 but not really.
Great pic. I was way wrong. There is more metal between the drivers door jam and the rear tire well.

That's next on the to-do list. Track down the owner and see what's going on inside.
OP
My husband managed to get a few more shots. Looks like it could be a kit, but he was wondering if it was a surplus Willys.
We both googled the information on the badge but came up with nothing. Apparently it's abandoned, so it might be ours now.
