    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the transformation of a classic 1967 Kaiser Jeep M715 tactical military truck into an off-road vehicle suitable for the Mexican desert. The truck, named Baja Kaiser, was originally used by the United States military during the Vietnam War but was considered subpar compared to its predecessor. After retirement, the M715 became available for civilian use, although it was known for being underpowered. The owner of the truck, Wade Geisler, made several upgrades to enhance its off-road capabilities, including a Chevrolet Performance supercharged 6.2L LSA marine V-8 engine. The truck also features custom bumpers, a long-travel bed cage, and various performance and aesthetic enhancements. [Extracted from the article]
