message: This USA Today article suggests that, at least in 2005, there was a plan for the US Marine Corps to buy rebuilt M151s, which were called "Growlers". They are small enough to fit inside the V-22 Osprey cargo aircraft, whereas the standard Humvee is too wide. There's another mention of the Growler here, although it says anothing about its connection to the M151. Sadly the USA Today article is poorly-written and hurts my brain, and I have no idea if it's true or nonsense. -Ashley Pomeroy 18:43, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The Jeep Wrangler lost it's live axle in 1996 with the "TJ" model and went to coil springs at that time.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.88.212.43 (talk) 21:52, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

message: So basically, when equipped with a TOW missile, this is sorta like a PT boat. Lacking armor, it can easily be destroyed, but the brass don't care very much because since it's pretty expendable, it's worth the risk of loss to obtain the chance to destroy a more expensive and powerful unit.

message: Unlike, say, the Mustang, this was a project in which Ford executed a design made after a great deal of back-and-forth work with the owner, who had paid for the design work, reviewed it, made design changes, and did most performance testing...and retained rights, itself to the design. You could just as well say it was Taradcom's...or whatever they were calling themselves that week... design.  We don't say "Fore River USS Massachusetts."
Next, Ford never managed to capture publicity for the work, quite unlike Willy...and there is little doubt that was partly deliberate on their part, distancing themselves from rollover liability, and the aluminum body fiasco. Anmccaff (talk) 23:02, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

message: Why do they call it a "1/4 ton" truck when its curb weight is 2400 lbs? That's > 1 whole ton. Does it refer to the cargo capacity rather than the vehicle's weight? Both this and the article about the earlier M38 jeep use that label but give no explanation. Ytpete (talk) 18:51, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

message: After 12 years and 17,065 bytes I thought I'd put some RS references up.  Edit: "U.S. Army Technical Manual TM 9-2320-218-10, MAR-83" was here already. They can cover some mechanical information but otherwise the entire article seems to come from blogs and forums. Sammy D III (talk) 04:21, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
