The Jeep CJ models are a series and a range of small, open-bodied off-road vehicles and compact pickup trucks, built and sold by several successive incarnations of the Jeep automobile marque from 1945 through 1986. The 1945 Willys "Universal Jeep" was the world's first mass-produced civilian four-wheel drive car.
In 1944, Willys-Overland, the primary manufacturer of the World War II military Jeep, built the first prototypes for a commercial version - the CJ, short for "civilian Jeep".[3] The design was a direct evolution from the war jeep, but the most obvious change was adding a tailgate, and relocating the spare wheel to the side. Also, besides adding basic civilian amenities and options, as well as legal lighting, the CJ needed an even sturdier drivetrain than the war jeep, because the targeted rural buyers would work the vehicles hard, and expect years of durability, instead of mere weeks during WW II.
From then on, all CJ Jeeps consistently had a separate body and frame, rigid live axles with leaf springs both front and rear, a tapering nose design with flared fenders, and a fold-flat windshield, and could be driven without doors. Also, with few exceptions, they had part-time four-wheel drive systems, with the choice of high and low gearing, and open bodies with removable hard or soft tops. A few stand-out changes during 42 model years were the introductions of round-fendered vs. flat-fendered bodies (1955 CJ-5), straight-6 and V8-engines, automatic gearboxes, and different 4-wheel drive systems.
The Willys CJ-5 (after 1964 Jeep CJ-5) was influenced by new corporate owner, Kaiser, and the Korean War M38A1 Jeep. It was intended to replace the CJ-3B, but that model continued in production. The CJ-5 repeated this pattern, continuing in production for three decades while three newer models appeared. "The CJ-5 has the distinct honor of being a vehicle that was hard to kill off... equaling the longest production run of note."
In 1975, for the 1976 model year, the tub and frame were modified from earlier versions. The frame went from a partially open channel/boxed frame with riveted crossmembers, to majoritively boxed with welded crossmembers, and from parallel rails to widening fore to aft to benefit stability.[54] and the body tub became more rounded. The windshield frame and windshield angle were also changed, meaning that tops from 1955 to 1975 will not fit a 1976-1983 CJ-5 and vice versa. The rear axle was also changed in 1976 from a Dana 44 to an AMC-manufactured model 20 that had a larger-diameter ring gear, but used a two-piece axleshaft/hub assembly instead of the one-piece design used in the Dana.
For 1977, the frame was modified again to a completely boxed unit. Power disc brakes and the "Golden Eagle" package were new options.
In 1979, the standard engine became the 258 cu in (4.2 L) I6 that now featured a Carter BBD two-barrel carburetor.
From 1980 to 1983, the CJ-5 came standard with a "Hurricane"-branded version of the GM Iron Duke I4 with an SR4 close-ratio, four-speed manual transmission. The 258 cu in (4.2 L) AMC straight-6 engine remained available as an option, but the transmission was changed from the Tremec T-150 three-speed to a Tremec T-176 close-ratio four-speed. The Dana 30 front axle was retained, but the locking hubs were changed to a five-bolt retaining pattern versus the older six-bolt.

Great little kit I will be on the lookout for this one 😊

[@ghrobbs]

I love those Desert Dog tires. Excellent video Chris

[@calvingifford9442]

Can hardly wait to pick up a couple of these!

[@cushingpushing]

Great job Chris, my brother built this same model years ago as a kid. I am glad they have released it again. I just ordered two of these kits online and can't wait to start building it myself.

[@robcates2383]

Another great build, I have to a couple, 1 military1offroas!

[@chrisC052]

Always makes my day when you post a new build and video, Chris. 👍👍

[@johngligo4049]

Very awesome Jeep Chris! Great work!

[@williamporter7596]

Thanks for the new video Chris, the Golden Hawk looks pretty cool.

[@jackbean7195]

I remember the CJ 5 kit coming out around 1976 with the Desert Dog tires. They were the best tires in any kit .I would totally modify my Jeep with a full roll cage ,lift kit and a front axle that would pivot up and down. When I got the second kit I took the rims and tires off of the first kit and put duals all around the second Jeep kit. Models let you create or own customized models. I spent hours and hours on models.

[@rtistik94]

Oooweee!! That came out sooo nice.

[@richardlee1092]

Nice looking kit. Great job Chris! Glad to see this one out again. Thanks for the review

[@billbaker2725]

That jeep was always a neat kit... probably get a few for my stash

[@charlesstarlin6354]

Cool stuff always thanks 😎

[@mattluszczak8095]

Nice well done

[@icecastle57]

Very nice color scheme!!!!

[@doublenickelbob]

Great video Chris keep em coming I'll keep watching.

[@michaelcooke2559]

I am really excited that we now have a Jeep with an engine. Even though it is a re-release of an older kit, and there are some flash issues and parts don’t quite fit, it is great Round 2 brought this one back. You did an excellent job assembling this one. Very nice color choices. Thanks for sharing.

[@modelrestorations]

Another great build Chris! Love it! Thank you for sharing.

[@brianbayer9746]

Just knew you would do a Hazzard Duke Jeep, I would too.

[@Stovalls]

Very cool, my family owned the local jeep dealership back in the day. Jeep never had a golden hawk package they did have the golden eagle. Sold many of them in CJ, truck ,Cherokee, but not any Waggoners. The formula desert dog PCV was a very low production tire but we sold a bunch. PCV stood for Pickup Camper Van.

[@american_jeep]

Golden Hawk was a factory AMC/Jeep package that was introduced mid-1980 as a replacement for the long-running Golden Eagle. It was not popular and was dropped after the end of the 1980 model year. Being only a 1/2 year production with few orders makes it a rare find today and not many people even know it existed.

[@timarthur9425]

Great review and awesome build.thanks Chris you represent the hobby well.looking forward to the next one.peace.

[@billybleedscrimsonblood9478]

Cool job! I love it!

[@davidpayne4315]

I'm thinking mud bogger, really great work as always Chris

[@TomSchry-hb4mg]

Great build Chris! I’ve always loved Jeeps so I’m definitely going to get a couple of these kits

[@maryfiltz800]

I think you made it look a lot like Daisy's jeep. Good job, thanks.

[@billybleedscrimsonblood9478]

I agree

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@philiplawless81]

Great build Chris! I built the "Daisy Duke" version years ago! Would love to see Round2 reissue the "Bottoms Up" version of this kit! It had a Half cab and tow boom with a Buick V6! It also came with the parts to build a wheel stander drag version with a ford cammer engine!

[@shannonmorrow2399]

When revell came out with the jeep Rubicon several years back I had some daisy's jeep decals that I added to it.

[@danielpaulsness6951]

Very nice 😅

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

👍👍👍👍

[@cheezst8ke]

yep. Daisy's Jeep was a Golden Eagle. And they used a couple different variations of it while filming the shows.

[@walterhvalverde9586]

😍🤗👍🏼

[@scifimodelshop]

This kit reminds me of "Mork & Mindy" jeep

[@jackbean7195]

I loved CJ 5s and I always made sure to see her Jeep. Blue ,I believe it was.

[@scifimodelshop]

@@jackbean7195 yes with mork upside down head in the seat feet over the roll bar

[@heathaggen2518]

I love this little kit, but they have really taken liberties with the application of this CJ5, Daisy's Jeep was a CJ7, not a CJ5, the Golden Hawk may have been available in a CJ5, but a much later version. This particular CJ5 is based on the the early one with the short hood and side gas fill. It really builds up nice as late 60s early 70s model with the steel wheels. Nice build.

[@malikdigger4544]

Looks like u built 1/25 scale model of Daisy Duke's old Jeep this kit comes out in June along wuth OBS Chevy Dually.

[@american_jeep]

Nice build! Too bad it is an early CJ-5 (1975 and older). No one has ever made a 1976-1983 CJ-5 version. The Golden Hawk was a 1980 only trim package that was available on CJ-5’s and CJ-7’s. With the popularity of Jeeps you’d think someone would make a correct kit!

[@tedharris8659]

great build this is Daisys sister Daffodil's jeep she never made it in the series so she is an unknown character (hahaha)

[@tedharris8659]

oh by the way I somehow missed the build of the Revell 57 Chevrolet you did some time ago and on the you tube channel I cant seem to find how to comment on it so I will do it here. that kit was originally from the early 60's I have built that kit several times over the years and it has always been a bear to build I did get the parts for the doors and hood to fit on the original issue by doing them before I put the inner fenders in and the firewall was a REALLY tight fit didnt even try on the other two times I built it just went ahead and glued the doors shut and left the hood loose also the companion 55 and 56 kits from the same era has the same problems. gonna try one last time on a reissue of the 57 Nomad I picked up on Flea Bay (its basically the same kit only with a Nomad body. built this one a long time ago and seem to remember the same problems anyway you had lots of fortitude to finish it I will quit bending your ear now keep up the builds

[@richardmurtoff]

Big fan Chris ! Awesome builds !! What do you do with all the models you build ?

[@hpiguy]

Display some, give away many and store the rest. Thanks!

[@greggabel7238]

Yes, it is the base of the Jeep that Daisy Duke drove by Catherine Bach in the Dukes Of Hazzard TV Series

[@r.a.monigold9789]

General Lee jumping, sliding, rolling and spinning - this was NOT why we watched the "Dukes". Day Zee DUKE is why we watched. Her shenanigans, outfits (lack of) and the Jeep. OK, not so much the Jeep. But this jeep build is an impressive memory of the "show". With crisp details, good color choices and careful assembly - this Jeep is ready to drive off towards the swamps, once again,

[@hpiguy]

LOL, I loved the entire show, but I think Daisy introduced me to girl crushes.

[@BIGJIM1934]

Did I hear a Kris Kross reference? 😂

[@13Dixiefried]

Hmm the only thing missing is the word “Dixie” 😁

[@normanausen4049]

Has the New Bronco kit come out yet, I need one to go with my Real One

[@hpiguy]

I have not seen it yet, but as soon as they send one I'll be building it up.

[@erasmosanchezuser]

Mandatory: To level up the Jeep's rear end.

[@itsquick817]

Is there a way I can contact you? There’s a truck you built a while ago that I need haha

[@howardgreenfield1255]

Been lurking here for a bit now, and have to comment. Recently grabbed two kits of vehicles I owned to midel. The new Revell 351 Mustang, and this CJ. Mustang great, tgis not so much. One of tge toughest kits ever. Flash, poor moulding and, and awful fit. Am I crazy, or did you get bad one, too? Cheers.

[@biffklg]

Do you have an address we can send you items? I have a spray I want to send you to try out, I think you'll love it.
