Vintage Jeep Off-roading At Hurricane Creek Trail North Carolina!

Vintage Jeep off-roading at Hurricane Creek Trail North Carolina! In this video I take the old cj5 along with a Scout 800, International Harvester Travelall and a Kaiser M151 Mutt on an off-roading adventure! I was surprised how well all the vehicles performed.
The upgrades on the CJ5 all met and exceeded my expectations and now I have a better plan for future upgrades.
I believe this trail is rated at a 4-5 difficulty which gave us plenty of opportunity to break in these old rigs and sharpen our driving abilities!

Love love love your vintage jeep! Thanks for sharing the ride~loved it!

[@SevenBarSalvage]

Thank you I really appreciate it!

[@nathankitts1903]

Glad you all finished the trail and everyone made it through safe. We had all the Land Rovers take the outside line since we all had independent suspension (with the exception of the Disco2 and classic Defender but both had bigger tires) and could clear the big rock down the center line. I was the guy in the black puffy jacket and blue Land Rover hat.

[@SevenBarSalvage]

Thank yall so much for your help, traction boards, and patience haha maybe we’ll meet up again sometime!

[@xfactorautomotive1496]

It was crazy to see the red Scout II! Them completed disintegrated around here in Wisconsin 30 years ago! Cool vid. Thanks, Jacob

[@SevenBarSalvage]

Not many left in tennessee either! Thank you!

[@vintageoverlanding]

We do have some greats shots of the Stinky Chicken! and a couple of the little brown scout catching air. Jacob was for sure better at it than I was. That that little beast just dug right along. Thanks for joining us and thanks for the shout out.

[@timothyhart7173]

The Chicken did great 👍 I really like the half cab, My 63 is waiting for some shop time and I think I'm going to do a T18 like you did on your other CJ , I just love how those F-heads sound as they chug along

[@died4us590]

I like the stinky chicken top to, i have one like it, but it's made of some heavy gauge metal. I love the F134 hurricane engine, just bought a 1954 Willys Jeep M138A with all the 24 volt stuff still intact. I just got it yesterday, and hope to get it running soon. I want to do a few upgrades to the brakes and the drive line. These older jeeps were made so much heavier than the new thin metal stuff, you gotta love them. I loved the sound of the stinky chicken, reminds me of driving in my grandpa's old jeep he had after he got out of the army in wwll. I wish he would have kept that old jeep, but before he died he tried not to leave to much for my granny to do. G-d bless.

[@SevenBarSalvage]

It was a great time thank you for the invite! We all made it out alive that’s all that matters haha

[@ramblerestorations]

Loved this!! I genuinely appreciate all of your content. After all the work you’ve put in on this Jeep, it was cool to see it putting in the work! Honestly, even driving down the interstate was cool…life goes on for this old rig. Well done!

[@SevenBarSalvage]

Thank you! Pretty crazy a few years ago it was sitting behind someone’s house full of trash and leaves!

[@user-iw4oy7yk1j]

Look like a whole lot of fun I'm a 4wheeler and I love it 😊😊😊

[@SevenBarSalvage]

Thank you!

[@Duce7753]

Thanks for another view. No vehicles that are glorified dragster on 40" tire more in the drive train than a new car, and lest we forget lots and lots of drama. Just a group that brought good solid vehicles, and helped each make it thru a great day of trail riding. With the prevailing thought ''I gotta drive this home''.

[@SevenBarSalvage]

It for sure felt like an accomplishment and I was very impressed with all the old rigs!

[@styrax0204]

I have done that trail before, it was great. We camped at the spot on the right by the river the night before the first water crossing. The videos don't do it justice.

[@SevenBarSalvage]

It was great trail I bet camping on it was fun! The camera never gives the same perspective as real life! Thanks!

[@died4us590]

I love the old vintage jeeps. I just got a sweet deal on a 1954 Wliilys Jeep M38A1, it was two hour's from where i live, and it was bought from the government along time ago, and has never been road titled, an older fella drove it during the summer in northern Michigan. Still has the original hurricane F134 engine with the 24volt unaltered wiring, and all the insulated components so it go through water. I only need to patch a couple real small holes, and then strip the horrible dark wine color the guy painted it back to the correct military green under the hood and interior of the thing. I have been looking for one of these for awhile, and had traded some stuff for a 53 cj5 that needed a lot of love, but now thing's just got a lot better, but i still may restore the old cj5, can't ever have to many Jeeps lol. G-d bless.

[@SevenBarSalvage]

That’s awesome!

[@tylerhair9067]

Pretty wild that you took that old CJ on the highway! You are a brave man. Great video!! Love your content. Inspired me to start back working on my ‘64 CJ5.

[@SevenBarSalvage]

It was one of those things I just had to go for it but I couldn’t believe it kept up! Glad to hear it don’t get it right get it running 😉

[@toothless01]

Love them old Internationals , good stuff brother.

[@SevenBarSalvage]

Same I kinda want another one 😬

[@darreldwalton8763]

It's great to finally see video of You and a rig on the trail! Seems like that's what has finally brought the whole channel together. Now, to get some of them other rigs outta the grocery store parking lots and into some fishing holes. There ARE fishing holes there, ain't there? P.S. I sure do miss my 72 Bronco, and my 49 2A, and my 82 K5, and my 67 F100 4x4, and my 86 GMC 2500 4x4. Oh, they're all here but the Bronco. Might have to make do with a SAS, small block Bronco II.....

[@SevenBarSalvage]

I plan on doing a lot more of these trail rides! And you’re right I’ve gotta finish up some of these other projects and see what I’ve got! Thanks!

[@TheBronco67]

I love this. I grew up in 60's and 70's and love seeing mostly stock old 4X4's doing their stuff. most of the off road vehicles now are so extreme now

[@SevenBarSalvage]

It’s amazing what these old vehicles can do!

[@larryalexander4833]

👍🛠️🇺🇸

[@chrisrankin435]

Worked up in that area at Walter's dam in the 90s awesome place great video

[@SevenBarSalvage]

Very cool! You need to come next time!

[@CarlosGarcia-ox7dm]

Nice video! You do not need 37's to have fun!

[@SevenBarSalvage]

Thank you!

[@markpospichal1309]

You all had a great time and I had fun watching. Thanks!

[@SevenBarSalvage]

Thank you for watching!

[@nutmagnet22]

Wait!These aren't $200k,purpose built rock bouncers!How on earth can ya'll do this? Great video,great rigs and good fun. Keep wheeling! New subscriber for sure.

[@SevenBarSalvage]

Haha it’s amazing right? 😂 Thank you!

[@amx19733]

Nice trail video!! Love the half cab!!!!

[@SevenBarSalvage]

Thank you! It’s been a game changer!

[@ErikCords]

Perfect weather for the hardtop! Thanks for the video. Keep them coming.

[@SevenBarSalvage]

Thank you!

[@TheOldaz1]

Good experience for you, nothing there the "Stinky Chicken" couldn't handle.

[@SevenBarSalvage]

I was really happy with it, I did find some areas it could improve though!

[@vintageoverlanding]

"Expect Delays" 😂

[@65cj55]

That was funny.

[@65cj55]

Very cool, you bought back some memories.....to my kidneys 🤣

[@SevenBarSalvage]

Haha glad to hear it!

[@mikeweldon9710]

Out there making it look easy! There are many opinions on lockers front vs rear….mine is front. It allows you to climb over things that you would not be able to with a rear locker. In my 52 M38 I have a lunch box locker in the front and a limited slip in the rear. Axles are from a 75 cj5. It takes a lot to stop it! Great video!

[@SevenBarSalvage]

Haha I appreciate it! I found a great deal on both the locker and the limited slip otherwise I might have done something different! Thanks!

[@mikeweldon9710]

I completely understand. That is how I have built my Jeep also, on a budget. Another great upgrade I did was to twin stick the Dana 20 transfer case (I blew up the original 18). Modifying the shifter shafts allows the use of 2wd hi and low…front or rear. Very nice to have.

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

good to see the jeep in its natural element hope to see you build yourself a small light weight camper to tow behind it

[@SevenBarSalvage]

Yeah I’m done tent camping haha

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

@@SevenBarSalvage so am i sir im in my mid 40's not in bad shape but i leave the bending stooping and crawling for the young folks

[@jerrybustin6679]

I watched the guy in the brown Scout video

[@SevenBarSalvage]

He really sent it right at the end haha

[@joe3973]

Your CJ -5 did really well on the trail

[@SevenBarSalvage]

Thank you!

[@failranch9542]

If your caster is good that thing will cruise all day on interstate. If you put a little bit longer shackles on it and didn't do anything else, it'll drive like a suicide machine.

[@SevenBarSalvage]

I’ve been thinking about some slightly taller shackles, good to know!

[@OldIronOffroad]

Sad I missed the trip! I am in Crossville. Lets get together sometime.

[@SevenBarSalvage]

Shoot yeah let’s do it!

[@rileyscott9498]

Just subscribed to your channel i am from Virginia where in North Carolina are you at what is the biggest place near you love your channel you are a great mechanic and you seem to be a great person keep it up would love to go four wheeling with you sometime

[@SevenBarSalvage]

Really appreciate it! I’m actually in middle Tennessee but we should for sure get together sometime for a ride!

[@rileyscott9498]

That would be great i have a jeep grand Cherokee Laredo wj how far are you away from wise Virginia

[@SevenBarSalvage]

@@rileyscott9498 Looks like about 4 hours

[@tb77073]

Does stinky chicken have lockers in the front and rear. It’s handling really good well.

[@died4us590]

For the age of the vehicle, and mostly stock, it did look good.

[@65cj55]

Rear Locker, Detroit i think, and limited slip in the Front, he has a install video.

[@SevenBarSalvage]

Yep a limited slip in the front and ratcheting locker in the rear! Hind sight I would do lockers front and rear!

[@IDiggs9]

hey , would you have an extra set of the 8" wide steelies to sell ? I have been looking all over. Thanks

[@SevenBarSalvage]

I wish those are crazy hard to find! They pop up on eBay sometimes but they want a premium for them!

[@kc6nfv746]

I like those jeep check my video lake elsinore ca 1967 jeep check out the front lights you may want a set of those

[@SevenBarSalvage]

I’ll check it out!

[@rileyscott9498]
