Old Jeeps are good for going slow off road. If that is what you will use it for - FUN!
I worked for a farmer who had one. It was better than his old tractors for pulling wagons on the road because the brakes at least had a prayer of stopping two loaded hay wagons from 20 mph. My choice for pulling the wagons on the road was his John Deere 3020 - it had power brakes and would pull the wagons up hills faster than the Jeep.
As hard road transportation it was horrible. It was under powered and road worse than the tractors.
They made all kinds of farm equipment for Jeeps. Monroe made a 3-point hitch and there were plows, mowers, and even grain binders designed to be used behind Jeeps. The Empire company made a tractor out of Jeep parts. They were pretty much all failures.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is a Jeep is a better tractor than transportation vehicle, but it isn't real good at either one.
