Pls speak a bit slow faisal
@faisal khan buddy this time you mistook it, this is actually this one is the N-Line of WILLYS as the name imprinted on the car is WILLYN. Don't believe me ??? CHECK CHECK AGAIN IN THE VIDEO 😁😁😁
The car needs to be retuned. Only then the car would move seamlessly.
This is the only car where faisal sir doesnt complain about head room😂😂
Lol 😂💀
🤣
Or legs room 😂😂
Sky is the roof😂
And no headrest for the passengers.
My dad had a 1939 Willy's Jeep that served in the US army and was left hand drive. It came with a gun rack in the front too . It was a rust bucket when we bought it, but my dad restored it with authentic parts from Ford USA to pristine condition. It even had the original shovel it came with. Ran smooth as butter(for its age). Had to sell it due to financial problems. It is now in Meghalaya.
That's too cool man
Whaat? The first jeep was commissioned in 1942. The willys MB.
@@dieselrules7912 Yup Exactly, the experiment models came in 1940 - 1941 and the first MBs and GPWs came in 1942 !!
@@dieselrules7912 the details are a bit fuzzy since I was only 10 or 11 when we had it. But it was for sure a military Willy's Jeep. It might have been made after 1942. Not sure. But it did serve in WW2.
Did you mean 1949?
00:37 - Those are not fuel can racks, they are 'bumperettes'.
00:48 - You are wrong about the starter, all 'Jeeps' were built with electric starters though the 134 inch engines could also be hand cranked.
01:20 - Those appear to be 6.00X16 NDT, or six by sixteen inch non directional tread, tires. That would be the standard original size, 7.00X16 would be the upgrade.
01:36 - A side mirror was standard, even on WW2 'Jeeps'. The 'civvies' also had a rear view mirror mounted to windshield (windscreen) frame.
02:01 - That is the (original type) 'F Head' engine with overhead intake valves which required the higher hood (CJ3-B) to allow fitment of valve cover. The (military) M38A1 and early CJ5 vehicles used the same engine.
02:34 - Hydraulic wipers would have been original.
03:54 - No, the CJ3-B did _not_ originally come with a bench seat. Original seats were quite similar to what you have.
04:01 - You are correct about the step and it appears to be the original accessory or accurate repo. The handles (also on rear corners) were original to military vehicles, not civilian ones. They are grab handles for soldiers to manually lift the vehicle out of mud, sand, ... .
06:06 - None of those gauges are original to the vehicle.
07:21 - The hand brake is missing, they were so equipped.
08:26 - Your steering needs work. It's likely the original Ross box and the worm gear wears out. There are also several joints in the spindly linkage that wear / get loose.
08:39 - As for driving a mostly 'stock' Willys "hard and fast", you're dreaming. You can drive them plenty hard (and nearly anywhere) but don't expect speed.
08:47 - Brakes on Willys 'Jeeps' are notoriously bad. Disc brake conversions are available or can be fabricated.
08:54 - Indicator is clearly not 'stock'.
09:54 - No, it's a CJ3-B, the _third_ model of civilian 'Jeep' to be released (1953) after WW2. Before it were Models CJ2A, CJ3A.
11:27 - Speedometer not working? OK, it's a real Jeep.
12:09 - The steering will tend to track straight as long as you're moving forward in an early 'Jeep' with original axles / steering, no matter how much 'play' there is. They were designed with a high degree of caster angle to the front wheels (think shopping cart) so that the military models could be strung together in tandem behind a 2.5 ton truck like a chain of trailers. Yours does have excessive 'play' and needs adjustment / steering box replacement and / or ball joints.
13:15 - I'd have to kill that annoying turn signal about the second time I heard it if it were mine.
All of that said (and after nit - picking your entire video), that's a wonderful ol' Flattie and I agree whole heartedly with your overall assessment of one's initial experience with a 'Flatfender' Willys. Reminds me of the day I bought my first CJ2 A in Winslow, Arizona.
If you're ever near Sequoia National Park I'll introduce you to my current Flattie, (registered as) 1946 powered by a Buick 225 'Odd Fire' V6 with Kenne Bell speed equipment, MSD ignition, running through 4 speed with Warn overdrive.
Strap in, hang on!
Wow, thank you for taking the time out to comment and point all these things, great to learn more about Willys, cheers ✌🏼
Hey, thank you so much for taking all the time to comment this wonderful piece of information. ❤
@@FasBeam I have since acquired a restored original WW2 Willys MB.
This must be the most elaborate and detailed comment on the YT videos ever. Very meticulous, pt by pt clarification. Your knowledge is superb. Thank you
@@binaylenovo9248 Thank you.
I just can't believe how many vintage vehicles sunny mahajan sir has and maintained it so well hatss off😍❤
Mujhe lga sodhi ki hai
In Rajputana we got so many Ford GPW and Willy's in our families. With lots of memories.
For Sure Hokum , I think 40% of India's Willys Jeep are owned by Rajputs , I Myself have 2 of these CJ-3Bs !
Khammaghani sa🙏
Same here...
Even we had two...! 😂😂
@@adityapratapsingh170 I live in Central California but have two registered (restored Willys MB, 'Hot Rod' 1946 CJ2A) and a few carcasses.
Does that make me an honorary Rajput?
Willy ...the OG Jeep ... the OG 4WD....!!! Love it ❤️
Willys the old workhorse machine which had played a major part in wwi & wwii . Yet this 63 year old car still has a trending fanbase and its 2.0 liter hurricane petrol engine is still the charm. I appreciate your hardwork faisal bhai and kudos to the owner who keeps this historical vehicle like day 1.
Not WW1.
Call sodhi of tmkoc..he ll fly with it...tmkoc fans like..
Sahii baat haiinnn💯
My grandfather got this beauty for 7000 rupees in 1969. Don’t know where the car is right now. Would buy it back in a heartbeat.
How many observed that @6:45 when he pulled that switch.. he actually added a flush sound there....
Sodhi be like: Yeah ik all of that frm years 😊😂😂
That jeep sounds like it needs gaskets. That tic noise sounds like an exhaust leak. My friend in america had a 53 willys back in the late 1990s. This video made my day! Thank you!
'Tic' could well be the PCV valve. On these they clatter / tick as they become increasingly clogged.
Ohh you were in Kalyan Gandhari Bridge Road....🔥💯
Now coming to dash board
Me : where it is
😝🤣
The meter you don't know is a temperature metre which is in celsius. We have 1996 Mahindra MD 550 di and that does have it.
Only I can say this is a vintage classic..... Nice to see👍
After watching the whole video. That engine sounds sick. Sounded like it had a big exhaust leak and seemed WAY down on power, my L134 CJ2 is significantly faster that what I saw in that video but should technically have less power.
The engine displacement between the CJ3B with the F134 and the old MBs, GPWs, and earlier CJs that had the L head was the same. The difference was hey moved the intake valves to the head and left the exhaust valves in the block. That's why the 3Bs had higher hoods and cowlings. They made a little more power too but not a huge amount.
The steering shouldnt be that loose. It could be as simple as adjusting the Ross steering box. Or it could need a full steering overhaul from the box to the tie rod ends. The bellcranks are known to wear out overtime same for the ball ends on the pitman arm and bellcrank. If thats the case no amount of adjustment will help. Lucklily the ross boxes are super easy to overhaul. I can one finger steer my CJ2A at 45 mph. But I did a full steering overhaul too.
You had issues with first gear because the first gear in a T90 isn't synchronized like 2nd snd 3rd (called low, intermediate, and high back then) its a straight cut spur gear. If all you're used to is synchro transmissions there can be a learning curve.
Those grab handles on the side would have been for man handling the Jeep when stuck. The MBs and GPWs had grab handles all over the place for that purpose.
Also the flip front CJ3 windshield was awesoke. Never seen one stateside but looks like it uses some of the same parts as the flip front CJ2 windshield.
Overall a great looking CJ3. Just needs some mechanical TLC.
All correct and accurate.
This is the vehicle I learned to drive in the late 60s
9:35 Golden words by Sir Faisal Khan
The Retro charm intensified🔥🔥
Known as the Landi Jeeps popularly in Punjab
Is it legal to drive left hand drive in India?
No but the owner won’t drive it on main roads much ig
@@anuradhareddy4537 oh make sense
A viewer is usually not looking for much spontaneous reactions in such cars' review. It is more of an emotion watching this. I believe it would have been much better if you edited it with a nostalgic touch and spoken in a way that matched the aura of a relaxed- low key - emotion triggering vehicle like Jeep Willy.
.
It felt as if the vehicle was exciting different parts of my brain and your review was touch altogether different parts.
Agreed.
backseat was a torture😂 didn't had any cushion..but its such a classic like the ambassador car.
Ppl asking about headroom..... Forget about airbags
Now I understand why in old movies, they used to show driving scenes with the Actor turning the Steering here-and-there... 😂

Faisal, have you driven the Hyryder and XUV 400? Waiting for your verdict.
The meter one you dont know about is temperature meter. Cel for Celsius. Like 40°C, 80°C, 120°C
i've got a cj3b equippied with a perkins 4.108 engine originaly designed for massey ferguson tracktors making around 50 horsepower and a 4 speed gearbox, it came like this from the factory, the funny thing about it is, it came with flashlights on the front fenders, the exhaust is on the same place but on the opposite side, same as the fuel tank which sits under the passenger seat(left hand drive also), it also doesnt have the option of opening the front window, despite the fact the whole windshield panel can drop just like this one, the spare wheel mounts behind the car, also the ignition key is located at the right side of the steering wheel, i guess theyre really quircky cars. oh and it also needs to stop to get into 1st gear but thats really not a problem since it's 2nd works like a 1st.about the brakes, i think its the same as mine, the brakes work more than good if you press the brake pedal twice, i actually find the fact that it barely brakes if you dont double tap quite usefull , since you can use them without worrying about the guy behind you crashing into you
I believe the tyres are 6.00R16 the other standard size was 7.00R16, In terms of gearing the 3b can run 7.50R16 but fender clearance is tight. Also most export models had 5.38 ratio axles over the standard 4.27 but you can only tell by checking the axle tags.
All correct.
Faisal I would like to share a small incident when our shauffer tried to drive my 99 model Maruti 800 and really struggled to shift from 1st to 2nd gear as the lever have so much play and he also complained about the sluggish Throttle response and braking , I told him that she is Carburetted so she needs time after waking up from sleep and she have been just taken out from the garage after a week. Actually our shauffer drives my 2014 model Tata Vista TDI 1405 cc diesel unit and for the first time he got his hands behind the Steering of 99 model Maruti 800. Honestly speaking I don't face any issues with my 800 and this particular Willy's is having point Condenser issues.
A review on the Jonga 4.0l Please
Correct the steering, fix the brakes and put a Mahindra bolero 2.4 diesel engine and it's gearbox and it's good to go
I can imagine Legendary actor vinod khanna donning the Khaaki And driving this willys
I want to add this machine in my garag❤
Damnn bro this video was shot in February and now it finally got uploaded, also u were in kalyan near my home wish I would’ve known this at that moment💯
Where is the hand brake ? It used to be a pull out lever on the dashboard, pull to engage, twist clockwise to release.
Correct.
For that time and with that technology it wasn't to difficult to drive!
That engine requires overhauling maybe , My CJ4A returns me ten km per litre of petrol on highways
Nice video brother ...let me add some more to it .... it's not a 58 3B as per me it's a late 63, long willys tail came in 63 by Mahindra because in that year Willy's motors' name changed to kaiser jeep corp. So for that year, no Willys stamped on the tailgate later it was replaced by Jeep. Also as per the sound seems the owner is using electronic pump try to use the mechanical pump for better sound and gas pedal response ...🥰😇
💯💯💯 1953 - 1963 3Bs came with L shape tailgates !
@@adityapratapsingh170 Mahindra serial system is mixed up even I have checked with Adil darukhanawala Ji and we found that Mahindra has no records of production figures, He asked Anand Mahindra on this, as usual, we found nothing still I am trying to get some production figures. we also found that early tubs were also used in 58/59 3Bs ...As per the book Timeless Mahindra by Adil Ji which is based on thar, one pic shows that long Willys stamped were used by Mahindra locally on their 63 jeeps...I have also seen many 65 3Bs having Willys stamped tailgates..so it is very confusing in term of mahindras figured .we used approximation by using American production numbers to figure out the jeep year. I have seen without L in ribless jeeps. Also, script Willys were removed from the toolbox from 58 onwards maybe I am wrong on this ...😇
I recently shifted to Ahemdabad from Kalyan.... The moment I saw the intro I was like F**k I know these roads.... Missed an opportunity to meet you 🥺🥹
Waiting for MAJOR JEEP 🙏🙏♥️
The CJ 3B had a raised bonnet because it had an OHV engine and a 12 volt system, unlike it's predecessor the CJ 2A which had a side valve engine and a 6 volt system. The height of the bonnet on the CJ 2A was much lower because it had a side valve engine. The tow hook at the rear was for attaching a trailer, which was a very popular accessory, specially in forested areas in Madhya Pradesh.
Correct again.
no gf ,no healthy romancive talks ,no car ,no long drive but still watching ur videos while walking on the road without care others,,Just fun 🤣🤣..Literally u r obsessed in flirting with cars rather than beside others 🤭🤭
The best vloger in my life ❤😍
You sound like hritik Roshan in koi mil jaya
I had seen this in "Mere Sapno ki Rani" song. That was also left hand drive.🤔
You showed wrong whole, the centre big whole is used to crank up the engine
Remember the old times as kids, traveling by these willys with petrol engine.
I'm still a kid.
My 'daily' is a Flatfender Willys with Kenne Bell equipped, MSD ignited, Buick 225 V6 'Odd Fire' running through 4 speed with Warn overdrive.
Older days there was a meter for oil pressure too
The most important gauge.
Faisal bhi please review the Tvs Ronin 225
Simple yet Sturdy.
Those are bumperettes not Jerry Can holders.
Thank you for your content but you are wrong about a lot of the information in this video.
It's not even an SUV in the first place. It is, very clearly, an off-road vehicle - that was the result of a US military contract - that can be used on the road, but you wouldn't want to. It was slow even by the standards of its day, so it is painfully slow by today's standards. No power steering originally, no doors, no roof, no roll bar. Started raining? Congrats. Fell over while going off-road? Good luck.
After this, and a few other cars of the same time, finally came the International Scout, and some time later, the Ford Bronco, and Chevy Blazer, which is where the SUV revolution started, and they weren't called that even then. It took some time for the Brits to catch up, they were busy making terrible little unreliable tin boxes called the Defender, but they finally made the Range Rover, which was very capable off-road and had just enough firepower to make it feel like it moved (All thanks to the World's Smallest Mass-Produced V8 in the world, the all-aluminium Buick V8 - that eventually became a Rover V8, especially for the Range Rover - that was in production from the early '60s till 2004. Told ya, they steal from everywhere), and then had enough luxuries to be comfortable for the old World War veterans that were buying those things.
It had set the standard for the SUVs of then, all the way to the ones we drive today. Ever since then, the SUV has become the default car for every family as a go-anywhere, do-anything high-riding, terrible fuel economy, horrible handling behemoths.
It was the Willys Jeep Universal, as marketed.
'SUV'? The term came into use in the 1980s as a classification (such as 'Light Truck') which affected regulations and insurance rates of such vehicles.
Scout, Bronco, Blazer as 'first SUV'?
You've never heard of the Willys Overland all steel station wagon, introduced in 1946, with factory 4WD starting in '49? The IHC Scout would not appear for another eleven years (1960), Ford's Bronco didn't see light until 1966, Chevy's Blazer in 1969.
Chevrolet and GMC had offered Suburbans since 1936, some of which received NAPCO and other 4WD conversions.
The first Land Rover was built in 1947 and was a converted WW2 'Jeep'. Production of Land Rover vehicles commenced in 1948.
@@-oiiio-3993 Learnt a lot more accurate information. Thank you. I stand corrected.

Many of the original components seem to have been replaced with mahindra parts
Willys still Rocks
Agreed!
Man! I was waiting for wheel spin!
Sunny MAHAJAN looks like Yuzvendra Chahal @ first sight
I thought the handle used for starting the jeep was in the center, (the bigger hole) and not the one you pointed.
They all had electric starters. The 134 engines could also be hand cranked.
He should have let the owner drive and he could have continued to vlog
the vehicle has not been restored properly, the engine needs to be tuned too. i dont see anyone problem using my cj6
beautiful 3b ❤️
Make a proper video on thar or fortuner 4×4 cars how to use the both gear box. how to use 4High or 4Low modes
I have right hand cj3b 4/4 petrol jeep in very very good running condition 🙂
Fun fact My cycle moves faster than this SUV 😂
In your lifestyle vlog this car was not starting right? 😂😂😂
Yes!
It’s the Engine temperature meter which you weren’t able to identify.. Speedo, Fuel, Engine Temp. and the Volt meter. It’s a non-synchromesh gear box. Hence, the shift isn’t smooth..Your basics aren’t clear Mr.Khan
Everything's good except that Tractor's steering wheel , Ask Sunny Bh. to go for Original Sheller Steering Wheel and Original CJ Data Plate !
My friend brought one willys from kerala we stay in Andhra.. police fined him saying open jeeps are not allowed even though he had every registration paper he needed..but Mahindra thar open top is allowed right? Police said that its fine to drive it but it should be driven with closed top..anyone faced this situation in your cities?
Southern states is enforcing strict laws for the last couple of years. At one point of time these vehicles weren't vintage but operated normally. Seriously our laws and the law enforcement agencies need to be Sensitised on vintage cars.
