    The first vehicle I ever drove was an M151A2 1/4 ton TRK /4x4. TM 2220- 218-2010 if memory serves. I was a 17 year old new recruit in the 82nd Airborne Division. Sergeant John Turner (truck Turner) was my platoon sergeant. Every time I missed a gear he would hit me in my helmet with a stick he carried for that purpose. It sounds rough but these guys just came back from Vietnam and the war was still going on. Great memories of Truck and that Jeep. To this day I own and drive standard shift vehicles minus my wife’s LR2. Great work on that Jeep. Your perseverance and skills. Are unmatched by the majority of young men your age.

    It was fun to watch that jeep go from a stationary junk pile to a functioning vehicle. I drove Willies Jeeps in the Army in the 70s, and they are nearly indestructible! They were made so you really could fill them up with lake water and stuff like that. They were designed to be extremely serviceable by just about anyone just about anywhere even in the field. The Jeeps we were driving were from the 50s and I'm going to guess that one was from the 40s or 50s so it's getting on towards 100 years old. Not quite there yet but probably 75 anyway! Glad to see you brought it back and hopefully you'll keep working on it and get it back to 100%.

It was a tender silence, intermittently broken by my dad, my brother, and I laughing while you beat the crap out of this tank and also explaining to the rest of the family what you were doing (my dad taught us how to work on cars, his dad was an old Chevy mechanic).

    I just found this video and immediately subscribed for two reasons.
    1. You know what you're doing.
    2. You don't fill the video with mindless chatter, music, or splice in dumbass cut scenes from shows\movies.
    Wish you all the best with your channel!

    This guy is hysterical! Love the subtle comedic touches with the cinematic storytelling. Putting the water cans back with disappointment after grabbing them with excitement, only to discover there isn't any water! LOL.! And the reverse threading incident. Absolutely been there!!

      Certainly would build character . Kinda pulling off the impossible. I want to also comment on your closing. The poor little willys watches as you drive away, it’s sad little grill and headlight face so forlorn. That’s Oscar grade cinema dude.

    Watched a few of your videos, First comment here. Outstanding!!! I love this kind of content, VGG, NNKH etc. The content, the camera placement, your know how and some of the absolute miracles you perform on in my opinion would be lost causes.
    The way you tell a story without words is awesome. I'm a gearhead too, mostly Mopar and Oldsmobile before. Love seeing these old Fords come back to life. Keep doing what your doing Simon, great channel bud, Cheers.

    Tip-Trick, when putting gas into carburetor take throttle and go wide open, then pour it. When you do this it opens butterflies and allows gas to go straight into the intake. Much quicker results this way

    Gotta say, I really admire your determination to get this thing running considering the circumstances of the weather, and the condition of the vehicle itself. Using simply what you have, and not being in a garage with a "clean and sanitary" environment makes it even more impressive. Now I really want to get my free Volvo 740 Turbo Diesel running.

    I mean the jeep was far beyond what I would consider salvageable, it is a jeep that was left for dead in a field for “likely 40-50 years. Great work young man. Look every thing does not need to look or operate like a show room floor, sometimes you get more satisfaction by just getting it to run and drive again. Thank you for your time Mr ford man
