this jeep reminds me of when we moved on the farm here and in early 1973 the power lines came through and the logging company had a old mid 1947-1953 1 ton logging truck the doors had a chain through both doors it had to be push started. there was a army jeep cj-2 flathead 134 wich ran really good 3 speed we packed 5 of us in it went through a foot and a half of mud got stuck but somehow we got out the clutch was pretty worn we all had been soaked with swamp mud water everything! talk about 4 wheelin in the feid at the farm.that was all of our experience in that army jeep.when i think of four wheeling it always comes back to that little mountain goat of a 4wd.a lot of those army jeeps came with 5.56 rear gears.my dad wanted to hide it and keep it but didnt. the logging equipment looked like it came from a salvage yard. keep on wrenching all of your revivals are awesome.just thought i would tell you all about this one when i was really young.

Hi guys, just found your channel! Nice job! Hey, got a few pointers for ya as an old Jeeper and current owner of ‘57 and ‘61 CJ5’s that I’m restoring for my Grandchildren. Okay, here goes: the wood you found in video one was placed there by the factory. The floor braces, called hat channels (due to there looking like an inverted hat shape) were stiffened with wood inserts. Next: Early Willys engineers were concerned the lug nuts would loosen (with counterclockwise rotation) on the driver’s side of the vehicle. Accordingly, they made both front and rear driver’s side wheel studs and lugs nuts left hand thread. If you look closely, you’ll find an “L” stamped in the end of those wheel studs. Third: You mentioned no adjusters when doing the brakes, there actually are eccentric studs that are held in position by a locking nut that push the shoes outward to adjust them. Aren’t jeeps fun? 🙄🤣 Thanks for sharing your adventures❣️
@whattherust9 ай бұрын
Fantastic info Alan, particularly about the wood in the floor. I would have never guessed that! The left hand studs don't surprise me too much, but I was not aware they were in use on a 66. I had no idea about the cam on the brakes either. You are a wealth of information. Thank you!

Hello Richard & Christina, I actually watched the video a couple of days ago, but I haven’t had time to leave a comment. Let me tell you that this video reminded me of the times that I would help my dad with maintenance of our family car. We stayed in an apartment style home, and didn’t have our own garage, or land to carry out any work. Consequently it was all done on the road outside our apartment building. What really resonated with me was the weather conditions. I’ve lost count of how many times I was outside with him and it was pouring with rain and bitterly cold, and here we were fitting new brake shoes or changing oil, filters, and spark plugs etc. We even changed a rear subframe from an old original 1960’s Mini. Your motivation for doing these tasks in crappy weather deserves praise. I think you need to build or buy yourself another garage, where you can do these jobs in relative comfort….and warmth. Anyway good video again folks…and I’m sure the old Jeep will run, and give you both lots of fun. We are ‘ allegedly’ going to get some potentially serious snow here in Scotland this coming week. It will certainly be very cold with daytime temperatures in the negatives. It makes me happy that I’m not outside lying underneath some old vehicle scraping my already frozen knuckles 👍😂. Anyway thanks for posting another excellent video, and take care. John.

Richard, if you don't already have a pair, you need to go out and buy a good set of insulated coveralls. Those clothes you were wearing in this video are way too thin to be out in the cold working.

Gives you more range of motion with your arms I think as well. Just a thought. Look forward to more videos on this Jeep!!!
