silly humans capacity question..

[canadacountry]

don't ask me why I am thinking of this now as I'm not so sure anyway..

my silly question is: how many humans (well, the 6ft-and-fit kinds that is) could actually had been carried by any one random conventional-form willy jeep?

assuming there's a back seat, 4 men ... would certainly be crowded for the two in the back, leg room would be very much an issue but they could sit a bit sideways ... be much roomier to remove seat and have the rear two sit on the fender wells ..

I had an early CJ5 with seat pads that snapped to the top of the fender wells.. , made things nice for sitting there.. When that jeep went bye-bye i retained those pads for my M38"A5"

Not willys but my squad had squeezed 7 onto a M151-type a time or two out of necessity , utilizing the fender wells and spare tire as seats, and one sat on the hood against the windshield. .. I recall one particular incident where all was fine until we hit a hidden tank rut in a portion of submerged tank trail .. Hang on !

heh thanks @msgjd and you know what, the flat fender tops on the m151 does look "more appetizing" for excessive humans compared to the cj5's much vertical surfaces instead. and I can indeed imagine 7 people coming to grief all at the same time would look a little bit messy thats for sure!

anyway I asked because I just had to wonder "could it be possible to create a silly slapstick in real setting with regarding to too many humans in a tiny open-body vehicle? maybe off the road too?? uhhh yeah I don't think I will ever actually get around to that wild idea but hmmmmm.." after having once again watched this very stupidly silly clip

(and yes it does seem like three separate instances of the knight in the rear seat failing his arms as if trying to say "the hell why aren't we on top of them yet???" hehe)

finally as for msgjd - I'm sure your squad is too happy to not be one of these that got thrown head-on into the windshield at an abrupt stop as you can see of the poor knight himself after 3:34 in the video heh .. as for how the jester came to be upsidedown umm you tell me assuming you're not on the floor laughing too much to be able to reply to this!

Good Day: I remember 151s set up with a roll bar looking thing so the CG could stand while passing troops, with cushions on those rear fenders. I just saw in German TV a documentary showing IKE, Patton, and 2 other Generals in a 151 back seat with 2 of them sitting on the fenders all hanging on the front seat backs as it drove away at pedestrian jogging speed. I don't think it would be a good drive for anyone in the back seat off road and at the end they had radio sets all over the fenders and a KY-38 behind the passenger seat.
