We bought ANOTHER Jeep! This CJ5 has a FORD V8!

The CRAWL Guys are SO back... If you remember, back in 2020, Luke and I did the Rubicon Trail together as part of a work/media trip for Baja Designs. Naturally, when we started talking about where to go when we both had Jeeps again, that trail was on the top of our list.
We finally found the perfect Jeep for Luke after weeks of searching Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, and Craigslist, so we decided to make yet another massive road trip to go get it.
This Jeep is just waiting to be polished up. It has a ton of promise, and won't take much to get it ready for TDS so that we can wheel it and see what it needs for the Rubicon. Luke, out of everybody I know, is probably the most qualified to do just that. I can't wait to see this tiny little Jeep bouncing off rocks down into Rubicon Springs later this year.
Until then, we have a lot of projects and testing to do with this thing, so stay tuned!
Oh... and there's another Jeep on the way still and one that we have yet to unveil.... Haha.

Really cool jeep….. love the comment run it the way it is and enjoy it

[@CRAWLTV]

This Jeep has so much character. It’s very cool. And yeah! I’d hate to see it end up in a million parts. Fix it as it breaks and enjoy it!!

[@PaulKaiser42]

I like this Jeep so much as well! 👍🏻

[@CRAWLTV]

It had so much cool character!

[@albertpobre7101]

Looking forward to seeing this project 👍👍👍

[@CRAWLTV]

It’ll be fun to see what he is able to get done before the Rubicon Trail!

[@lloydrage]

Seems like a great deal! Lots of work but lots of Jeep

[@magdumpmonday]

Love the chock restart at the end 😂. I think it’s gonna be awesome.

[@CRAWLTV]

Haha. I thought it was pretty funny too 😂. These old jeeps are pretty cold blooded and it had just come off the trailer and didn’t want to idle cold.

[@magdumpmonday]

@@CRAWLTV yes sir. Had me a 78 CJ5 with a Chevy 350. Loved that Jeep. Had the bowtie’s on the hood. You have been a big help with the vids. Few years back Followed along doing my lift and drive shafts thanks a bunch. When you had the orange one. That got stuck in the H20 lol

[@krashnpa]

Well, just parking it on the trailer and having someone drive you around is one way to get rid of death wobble!

[@CRAWLTV]

Haha. Yeah… We want to drive these jeeps to Tierra Del Sol for our shake down run, so getting them road worthy is part of our prep!

[@johnstup4479]

Looking forward to seeing this Jeep getting the attention it deserves. Keep us updated!

[@CRAWLTV]

Luke is already sending over content on his progress. I’m excited that he’s so excited about it. It’ll be a fun Jeep to document.

[@moabwheeling1305]

Luke's new to him Jeep looked like my TJ this morning when I started it to take my wife in for foot surgery. ( cold start in 9 degree weather ) . It must have been pretty cold outside the day you guys picked it up . Send my congratulations to Luke . Take care and catch you on the next episode of Crawl Tv.

[@CRAWLTV]

It was FREEZING. I think Luke was too excited to feel how cold it was though. 😂 He is super excited about this Jeep and he’s already sending over content on it. So far he has pulled the spare tire off and drained the old gas out of it. I hope your wife has a smooth recovery and we’ll see you here in the comments on the next video!

[@zackpearson3194]

such s good find

[@CRAWLTV]

Luke loves that Jeep like it’s his child. It was the perfect find for him!

[@luckoftherear3079]

Love that little mud bug. He should definitely keep those tires despite them being hard on the lil gal.

[@CRAWLTV]

It’s a free country. He can do whatever he wants.

[@t.j.peterson4380]

So another show I watch his sidekick is called man behind the scenes. I think Luke should be referred to as Man behind the Creampuff. And Creampuff DEFINITELY has to stay! Lol

[@CRAWLTV]

Cream puff is here to stay! Luke is sending content over to me so that I can edit and share as needed. He’s super excited about this Jeep so that enthusiasm will, in turn, provide plenty of content

[@t.j.peterson4380]

@@CRAWLTV Awesome!!!

[@abnpthfdr2934]

Make him Crawl TV Honorary Member and have him record all that he does to the Jeep. I would like to see how they all come along. CJ-5, CJ-7, soon a YJ, just get a few more buddies and you'll have the whole line up!!!

[@CRAWLTV]

He definitely is an honorary member! He’s already sending me content on what he’s doing to that Jeep. It’ll be really fun to document. Also, after we get the YJ we still have one more Jeep to unveil, and I think you’re going to love it.

[@abnpthfdr2934]

@@CRAWLTV Dude! If you say y'all picking up an MB, or at least a CJ-2, I'm gonna flip!!! Although, any other Jeep in the line up will be awesome too. I've been a fan since the early Crawl TV days; In fact, I followed the step by step instructions from your JK Fender Trim video to trim mine. 🤙

[@CRAWLTV]

Well, it’s in the MB bloodline, a bit newer than a flattie, and it has a bit more HP than what it originally came with. I do have a CJ2A though… That’s just been a “someday” project for a really long time. As soon as my friend Kris flies out here, we will unveil it! It’s his Jeep.

[@paulemler1163]

I'd say Luke got himself a good deal.

[@CRAWLTV]

I agree! We’re meeting Saturday morning for burritos and frame welding

[@paulemler1163]

@@CRAWLTV Both are great choices! I went to welding school after I hung-up my flight suit. I'm glad I did, I love it!

[@CRAWLTV]

Oh that’s awesome! I have done so many things since I hung mine up. Some well, others not so well. 😂 I’m an inspector now, but work has been so unbearably slow that I might not be an inspector for much longer.

[@AdventuresOfRogersAndHenderson]

Subbed! Saw your IG about sub’s fluctuating… we deal with it too! This one won’t be going anywhere! 🤘

[@CRAWLTV]

Thank you so much! Subscribed to you as well!

[@AdventuresOfRogersAndHenderson]

@@CRAWLTV 🤘🤘

[@user-rx6ej8gn3l]

I love your new Jeep! Did he tell you what those gorgeous seats are out of?

[@CRAWLTV]

It’s got so much character! And no, I have no idea what the seats are out of! I’m guessing another early CJ5 though. My 64 tuxedo park had similar low back seats in it

[@pvmsupra9607]

Does anyone know any more details about this top? I’m interested in something like this for my 53 m38a1 I love this style over the artic hard top

[@CRAWLTV]

Yeah! This is a Koenig hard top for Cj5s. It probably fits an M38A1 just the same. Luke’s is actually for sale if you live near San Diego

[@SevenSlotSociety]

Where can I buy these Kroger gauges?

[@CRAWLTV]

I’ll ask Luke. He was extremely delirious at that point. He drove both ways while I drank and took cat naps in the passenger seat 😂
