Dont give up on her, you can buy the entire tub for that this very reasonably! I had a 62 Willis years ago, they are a real blast to cruise around in. Very capable off road too. Come to think about it, mine lost 2nd gear, I found a place in Fort Worth Texas that I carried my transmission in and took one off the shelf, 200 bucks!

Dude I love how you edit your videos. You edit out unnecessary tasks and keep everything moving smoothly. I wish more would do like that. Many KZbinrs waste time talking and don't show the repairs being made. But you've really mastered this and I subscribed almost immediately! Keep up the good work!

[@jimm3756]

You got that right. I hate those videos that the host thinks filming themselves talking is more interesting than what they supposed to be presenting.

[@juancanik1]

I completely agree, I usually even get dizzy watching these types of videos, but this channel records impeccably, excellent work!

[@jefferybye2169]

Shes alive..i freaking love it..brings back memories when my dad used to bring home all the army jeeps and trucks from work when i was a kid..he used to work at the d.o.d in pedricktown nj then got transferred to fort dix when desert storm hit..thanks for the memories ..

[@Biokemist-o3k]

This thing is Beautiful!!! I am a chemical engineer but I was run over on my 1957 Harley Panhead right at the beginning of the beer bug outrage and it has taken until now to recover and learn how to walk again. I decided I want to change careers to mobile welder/Fabricator and machinist. I have been putting together a metal fabrication shop and it is going well. I found a 72 inch metal brake and a vintage 100 year old lathe.....get in touch if you ever want to come out near King of Prussia and make some body panels or something...

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Yeah she sure is pretty! And damn, I'm sorry to hear about that. I hope recovery is going smooth and you work back to 100% That's awesome that you're doing a fabrication shop. I'm actually in Pennsylvania also. Whereabouts are you? I'm just north of Philadelphia. Sometimes I don't see the replies on here since it doesn't notify me. But shoot me an email sometime!

YESSSSSSSSSS!!! The Salty Tetanus Jeep (STJ-1) runs AWESOME!!! Great revival work! Some angle iron, square tubing, sheet metal & some stitches with the welder will make this a worthy member of the NNKH fleet - especially for towing all the rehabbed toys out to the river/lake during the upcoming summer season (I was shocked at how good a lot of the chassis metal looked through the floor!)! I, for one, love the jumping around because it keeps things interesting instead of predictable. Keep it coming, and I'd love to see this rig get street legit on the cheap!!! Cheers!!!

When you remove a diff or transmission plug, stick a small, powerful magnet on the base of the plug. That will catch much of the rust and other metallic crud before it does damage.

[@larrycurtis9896]

Absolutely one of the best test runs ever recorded! 😂 And the neighbours seems pretty cool. Not easily disturbed people as it seems. Great channel dude, recently subscribed and have been binge watching most of it since. See you in the next one. Cheers 🍻 👍

[@n1ti]

Thank you very much for these. I haven't twisted a wrench in years but this brings back pleasant memories of restoring cards ack in the 60's and 70's. He was a Navy recruiter and when out in the field visiting recruits he would keep a logbook and map of everything he spotted. We pulled out many 39 & 40 Fords and got them running in place. One memorable day was finding a 1937 Ford fastback that had set for 25+ years with trees growing up thru the engine compartment. Finally got it free and after a few hours he got it running and we actually drove it down the mountain for about 10 miles before trailering it. I still have flashback toi many cars we found when I get a sniff of 25 year old gas. Again...thank you for triggering some of those memories and allowing me to live vicariously thru you. If I lived close enough to you I would probably have plenty of grease under my fingernails giving you a hand. Keep up your drive...you have a real talent.

[@JonHammond81]

Chris that jeep is SO COOL. I’m really glad you kept going with it, thanks from the UK!

I was nearly excited as you were on the test drive. Crazy that it runs that well. You HAVE to continue this project. Sounds amazing.

[@LightningFabrication]

Don't know if anyone mentioned this below but I believe you have a 1965 CJ5 chassis and running gear with a late 1950's M38A1 body. The windshield is also newer than the body. Cool thing about the M38A1 fuel tank that was mounted under the drivers seat was the large filler neck. they had a built in funnel that slid out of the neck. Good luck with the rebuild.

[@CannibalCars]

Dude that was such a good episode. I would love to see a part 3 with it opened up on the road or maybe a roadtrip to somewhere offroad! Keep up the excellent content 🇮🇪🤝🇺🇸

I have two of these Dauntless engines. They like some back pressure on the exhaust. I was running straight pipes for a while and gained quite a bit of power by adding a simple muffler on each side.

[@richardthomas1743]

Well if the frame is good and it runs somebody would buy it and do something with it. Personally I would not put a lot of money or time into it. You have a lot of other better and more valuable projects in your yard. Thanks Chris and thumbs UP!! 👍

[@65MK]

My grandfather had a M38 for many years, that he got at an Army surplus auction around 1960 for $50. Sold it in the late 90’s for $5k. I wish I still had it, but I had no place to store it, or much use for it at the time. I actually learned to drive in it. It’s sad to see the shape of yours, but I enjoy watching this video of you trying to get in going again. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@richardthomas1743]

I just had time to come back and watch all of this. Thumbs UP for getting the old Jeep on the road Chris. Looks like Jen was not interested in going for a drive in this one LOL.. Well seeing how this is an old Willys Jeep and it is not dead yet. Maybe a name to consider would be "Die Hard Willy" or "Willy Die Hard" . Keep rambling man , I love your videos! 👍

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks Man! And yeah I think I plan on holding on to this one. She's a fun little rig

03:24 that thing you were holding is the remains of an example of the precursor to the folding E-tool you used in part 1 to dig out the front tire so you could get to the valve stem.

[@michaelmarrett6423]

That was an awesome video! I love to see old crusty relics brought back to life! When it’s no longer a death trap, you could call “The Dauntless Determinator”.

[@timothymercer3526]

Diamond plate dude! That is what you should rebuild the floor with . It will last forever I cannot remember what the name of the business is but in Denver Colorado there is a club that rebuilds ww2 vehicles and if you ever get stuck looking for parts that might be a direction to look in. The Dauntless Death trap sounds awesome I am glad you just ripped the cancer riddled floor out its all you can do really!

That carbrater is amazing wow i have never seen anything like that

That carb had real gas left in it

[@iwantcheesypuffs]

I would call it IVY. Because the gas tank hanging there looks like an IV, which this Jeep may very well have been used for medical or other needs while in service. I believe you honor those who have paid the ultimate price by giving your time and love to this Jeep. Well done!

Amazing! Up until the startup, with no blowby as far as I could tell, it's actually worth saving. The old thing acts like it wants to run, so it's worth a full floorband brakes. I wouldn't recommend running the death trap around town. Somebody might get their panties in a bunch.

Great job getting that jeep going! Love your videos! Ready for part 3..

[@dougsmith587]

Ok, let me know what you think. Put a whole new tub on, tidy up everything to make it safe. True dual exhaust is a must have! But best yet, there's a bull gear overdrive you can install on the transfer case! You take the PTO cover off, put in the OD kit, and it comes with it's own shifter. It will work in all 3 gears, giving you a 6 speed, or really a 3x2 transmission! Then just daily driver that baby into history!

You are local to where I grew up and this video takes me back. I worked at a company in Morrisville called Blue Chip and we remanufactured water pumps. I recognized your pump right off but I never new what motor they went on. I Remaned hundreds of those little things, cool to see one in the wild. I recognize the Plymouth one also, again, never new what they went on, I was always a Chevy guy.

[@BeingAGamerguy]

Currently working on a '61 CJ-5 I got out of a field (more like off a hillside) in PA that also has the 225 Buick in it. My understanding is the "lope" in the oddfire engines is due to them essentially being Buick V8's with two cylinders chopped off and more-or-less the same distributor. Personally I love the sound. Looking forward to seeing more of this Jeep to compare my progress against.

[@hannibal61577]

The VIN, or serial number, should be found on a plate fixed to the firewall, inside the engine compartment, top drivers side. I can see something there in the video, but not sure if that's it or if it's even legible. Sometimes the serial number is stamped into the top of the frame rail, passenger side, around the rear mount for the front spring. I've heard of them being stamped other places on the frame as well. Keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to seeing more on this Jeep. I had a '69 CJ5 with the 225 Dauntless for awhile, but had to get rid of it because I had no room. I loved the rumble of that odd fire.

[@Snowaxe3D]

I am kinda late but to get that stuff out of the well 16:32 is by using one of those retractable hooks that opens up like a Lotus flower, It operates using a Spring so you can also trigger it, Drop it down let it sink, and open the hook, Spini it like spaghetti and pull out.

[@eue073]

If the frame is M38A1 the chassinumber is stamped on left framerail just behind front bumper (no plate, just stamped directly in to the frame). It should start with M38A1 then the actual number, (there are other variants depending on year of manufacture). My old M38A1 was a 1960 and chassinumber was stamped on left framerail.
