Great show 😎👍🇺🇲

You two need a really good telescope and binoculars. This could be your second KZbin channel. You never know right.

@@garyhepler833 That's what I was thinking, but I know you can get pockets for the front of the base also.

Make the Jeep the way you want it. Don't worry about the Jeep crowd. Make it yours 😁.👍

That's the plan!

@@fullcustomIan I've always held that if someone wants to see a factory original, ground-up restoration, seek out a good museum. Unless it's an extremely unique, one-of-a-kind, rare example - go ahead and make it what ever you like! Have fun! Take the road less traveled and express yourself. Life is short - enjoy the adventure. I love y'alls videos! You compliment one another! Keep it going!!

Real world project building!! I am all in!! Spent a day arguing with a fuel cell fill through a wood bed in a 37 chevy and new metal to support the floor. It's the hundreds of hours of little stuff that makes a difference in making it going or trailering it for showing!! Great video!! Thank you!!!❤❤

[@kellywheatley807]

I've been an auto tech sense my hole life, 65 years. But rarely a fabricator. I can't count how many GM dealers I've work. I enjoy your show because it gives me ideas' that I wouldn't have thought of on my own. It's fun to watch Ian come up with the ideas that he does. Thank you.

[@fullcustomIan]

Thank you!

[@ericyeoman2687]

Jamies comment about the Black Widow, behind the toilet made me smile, a little. One of our, now departed, C & W singers, Slim Dusty, was bitten by a Red Back spider in a country outdoor toilet. The red back is Australias widow spider. The song is called, funny enough, "the Redback on the Toilet Seat". It will give you a smile if you get it up on youtube.

[@fullcustomIan]

I will check it out!

[@Gas_n_Gears]

Imagine that Jeep with a 427 Chevy and 36" tires. That was our mud racer.

We are a vibe! Thank you!

​@@fullcustomIan You two are SIMPATICO!

[@tintat2]

love your vids I watch em all. An idea for your front bumper is to put a short trailer receiver vertically in the middle. then you can make a winch mount, or beach seats or whatever you want to plug into it.

[@fullcustomIan]

Good tip! Thank you!

I still have to go back and watch the first episode when Jamie got her Jeep. But the process and progress is wonderful.

[@fullcustomIan]

Yes check it out! It is the only time I picked up a tool LOL ~ Jamie

[@AceMcgee-q9f]

Your Jeep brings back great memories my grandfather had one can't remember the year. They lived in Centerville Missouri on a hill overlooking the Black River as long as I can remember we used to go down on weekends and Run That Thing Up and Down the River it was a blast. I can remember camping trip on the current river right by Blue Springs I just turned 16 years old and he let me drive the Jeep over to the Gravel Bar where we primitive Camp right on the river Grandparents Jeep and cabin are all gone but the memories will last forever. Love your videos thanks for allowing me to share Peace Love Ace out

When you put a winch on your jeep. Get one of those harbor freight badlands. They're unstoppable. And better and much cheaper than warn or Smitty built.👍

[@PapaMo55]

Gunna be alot fun… as always another enjoyable watch

[@hooligan_56labelle22]

You know something?. The color of those seats would be a great color for the body paint. WW2 desert color. Great looking seats

[@timwright297]

I really enjoy watching the videos. You can feel the vibe that they are real and show how much time and effort plus mistakes that it takes to build. One of the things I cant stand is some of the other supposed "reality" build shows. They bring in a complete wreck of a project and try to get the viewer to believe they can actually have it ready for a major auction in three weeks.

[@SteveHorton-u3i]

Yeah video geeked out on me too. Great episode. I look forward to each and every one. How bout some VW action. Thanks for doing this!

[@michaelbristol6467]

Desert camouflage paint! Huh huh 😉✌

[@shanewright6958]

Another good one 👍👍

[@KeithRutledge-t1w]

Hi Ian and Jamie...Jamie your jeep project takes me back , we always had jeeps back in my high school days ! Fairly simple , reliable , parts were still fairly cheap and accessible. Ian , I don't know if this helps , but when I had to do a T 90 cluster gear replacement , I discovered International Scout used the same T 90. So clusters were the same in both. That cluster gear ( as I remember was full of needle bearings. We had to grease them up an insert a dowel of the same diameter. Then dropped it in the trans. case , and drive the shaft threw while driving the dowel out the other side. Shaft ran past the inside of case which held it in position. Don't know if that information helps , but thought I'd pass along. Thank You both for the videos , so much enjoyed !!

[@fullcustomIan]

Thank you!

[@renash1815]

I can't wait until that flat fender Jeep is up and running. What ever color you pick is alright because it's your Jeep. Make it the way you want it.

[@fullcustomIan]

Me too! It is almost there! I have been waiting four years for this girl to be on the road and will be so proud to show her off. ~. Jamie

[@dave-uf8ir]

Coming along needs painted camo cheers 🥂 guys 😊

[@vgullotta]

I'm not saying the UFO was aliens... but it was aliens! XD The Jeep looks so awesome! Jamie, you have the right eye for this Jeep, you get it. The dings, the bumps, they are this old Jeep's character. They tell the Jeep's story. Love seeing you guys resurrect it!

[@edcianfarra7890]

You guys are a great couple. Ian your work is definitely a1 plus’s enjoy every minute of the show.

[@randalltravis29]

I would like to share with you. I watch your vids because I'm a car guy. You frustrate me because I want to see your end result. BUT, you guys are entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks Randy.

[@fullcustomIan]

Understandable. We appreciate you!

[@gvet47]

This is the second time I have watched this. Great that you were given the seats. I know there is a lot left to do. Body on a different chassis has to complicate things right from the start. My son inherited a 1947 military Jeep from his grandpa but with a young family and job it may set another 30 years.😢

[@KayakCampingOffGrid]

Great episode of the project Willy! The headlights really did make the front look SO different from the look without lights! Amazing 🤩🤩 Nice looking seats, functional without the BLING FACTOR! 😊😊

Great to see ypu working on the Jeep again. That thing is going to be a real weapon when finished😅

[@snoopu2601]

Back in 1991-92 I saw a ufo flying over the San Pablo bay about 10pm then it shot over the Golden gate bridge hooverd over the bridge then shot back over the San Pablo bay. I had to wake my mother to see what I was looking at. She told me to go to bed. I kept looking at it for a little while then went in the house. The very next day a few of my friends came over telling me they saw a ufo flying over the San Pablo bay. That they had drove to the wrecking yards to flash the headlights of the car at it. I didn't tell them that I saw the same thing until I heard there accounts of it first. Then Monday morning radio show reported it's official that a UFO was spotted over the Golden gate bridge. I was glade that other's seen it. It was over the Golden gate bridge so I knew people had to have seen what I was seeing. I thought I was losing my mind at first. Never seen anything like it ever since and I do look up at the sky at night.

[@fullcustomIan]

Wow! Yeah what we saw was definitely different than all the other things we have seen and there was NO sound at all...kinda spooky. It disappeared over Edwards AFB.

[@cjnavyblue]

[@larryj1143]

Just wanted to let the two of you know i just finished watching the 9 Jeep CJ2A episodes. I had watched them previously but they were out of order and I had to search for them! Only found the first 8 that time. Then i found the 9 videos together. I found them most enjoyable. It's fun watching the two of you interact and get so much done. I'm in agreement with all you've done with one exception. I think bigger tires add to the appearance of the finished product. I'm not talking gigantic. Just bigger. In my view it provides a good, appropriate foundation. Keep up your excellent work. I want to see the finished product. I wait with baited breath to see the color Jamie has in mind! ❤❤

[@fullcustomIan]

Thank you! I organize all the vids in playlists as well so you can watch them in chronological order 😎 I can’t wait to share my paint color too! ~ Jamie

[@elsdp-4560]

Thank you for sharing.🛸👽👍

[@MichaelShea1965]

Here’s an idea, how about different attachments for the front bumper, maybe a trailer hitch tube and a winch attached to a trailer tube? You could even do seats, a front rack for extra storage or an overhead rack for your paddle board. You could even mount your sling chair.

[@fullcustomIan]

I like how you think!

[@OathTaker3]

It's always a good idea to remove the only little bit of buffer zone between the bumper (first to impact everything) & vital components like suspension, steering box, etc to almost guarantee that you can't make it back home without walking or a ride🤔. For me I prefer a vehicle to bring me back home safely.

[@notajp]

I didnt understand the point of that either…

[@kennethwelty1190]

I've got a Badland winch from Harbor Freight on sale inexpensive but very good winch many off road recovery co. use them.

[@jnorth568]

When Ian was sanding on the hood of the Jeep it kind of looks like a camouflage pattern❤ maybe that would be cool with a clear coat over it😊

I have been driving that jeep for four whole years in my mind...getting soooo close ~ Jamie

[@dannylaughon5414]

Maybe your Jeep served in the Navy during its life,since one of the colors that you found under the green was battleship grey. The Navy loves that color.

[@hickeyskustomresto]

That makes sense. I wonder if they would source jeeps right off the line in green and have them repainted later. I'm in Ontario Canada, the government jeeps here were blue/grey, but when you sand through they are army green underneath.

[@shameless6963]

Could have also been Air Force. I believe they also used gray
