1967 Jeep CJ5 rat rod

Here’s my 1967 Jeep Kaiser CJ5 I built into a rat rod. Built my own custom frame and suspension. Has a 4.2L TD42T Nissan diesel from a mid 90’s UD box truck. Also used the front axle, 5 speed trans, wiring harness and other parts from the box truck. Was my first rat rod build and have several others planned.

This puts a smile on my face. Totally brilliant.

I have been collecting parts to build a rat jeep. I have tub and drivetrain ,need to build a chassis and pick up a few things like windshield frame and tailgate.. This video inspired me to be more focused and get it built.. Thanks

[@streetkd08]

Glad to hear. It was the most fun project I’ve ever built. Hope you have fun doing yours as well.

[@lloydapple950]

👌💯 I learn a lot from your video Keep up the good job 👏

Super nice! I just finished a 64 CJ5 with a 350. Too much engine for off road so this rat rod idea is great. Nice editing on the vid as well.

[@streetkd08]

Mark Roth thanks! It’s a blast to drive. Hopefully be posting more videos and actually progress on builds eventually. Trying to work towards that.

[@lexpro2239]

This is inspiring

[@TheOwen1974]

Awesome build man..

[@streetkd08]

Thanks man. I love offroading and jeeps and rat rods. So I built the best of both. Lol

[@timmygiles9554]

Really cool 💯

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍

[@andrewmillar1926]

I know it's a long shot for sure but I'm also in the process of building a jeep rod. Was hoping to get in touch for ideas, pointers and do's and donts for the build. I have a 55 cj. Thanks.

[@streetkd08]

Yeah. Look me up on Facebook. (Kody Street). And shoot me a message.

[@clovisgoe193]

Ficou perfeito 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@invisiblekid7374]

the only thing I would do different would be to put those big wide semi tires on the back to give that hot rod look!

[@streetkd08]

Finding those in a 6 lug wheel is pretty hard. I like the 4 skinny’s though.

[@jeeper2371]

Somebody's nightmare!

[@Legacy4x4andOffRoadYT]

bad ass!

[@streetkd08]

Thanks!

[@rb30athorn]

Awesome but can it move under its own power or is it a towable art pice. Very cool

[@streetkd08]

I daily drive it every day it’s nice and above 50°.

[@yourmomsfavoritepodcast4460]

Looks awesome, how thick was the metal on the frame

[@streetkd08]

3/16" in the middle and 1/8" for the rest. Also welded body to frame.

[@TheOwen1974]

Where did you buy your hairpin bars?

[@streetkd08]

I built them myself. Used 1.5” DOM

[@digitalmarketingnation5014]

Can you give the exact sizes of chassis frame and complete details please

[@streetkd08]

It was very simple. I “Z’ed” it. Front section was 4’. Middle section was as long as I needed to rear the rear axle and give room for 4 link and axle. Then come up and over the axle. It’s 2x4 square tubing. And rails are 33” apart. It would vary depending on the size of vehicle.

[@kennethsmith1744]

Great another jeep ruined dang. Cool build though

[@streetkd08]

Plenty of other Jeeps saved though. I’ve saved many Jeeps myself. I’m a big Jeep enthusiast. This one was pulled out of the weeds and missing the drive train and floors were rusted. I at least did something with it rather than it sitting rusting away in someone’s yard.

@@streetkd08 Im glad you did this. better than a pile of scrap it was headed for. good job

[@streetkd08]

@@davidknows3320 thanks. I’m happy with it.

If I anyone would try to make this car street legal in Europe he would be sent to concentration camp and Greta would make an angry speech about him :)

[@streetkd08]

Lmao that’s hilarious. I’d do it anyway.
