Man I always enjoy watching old cars, trucks and jeeps get rescued and revived! If that frame is salvageable, sky’s the limit to what you can do to bring her back to life. 😁👍
Cool find! I'm glad someone has the dream to save this piece of history! But even more excited to see cj5 content back on the channel. I miss the old tuxedo park. If it turns over, that trusty 6 should run! Will be fun to see where this leads...
Looking forward to following along! Dang, I wish I lived closer so I could lend a hand. I'm real good at drinking your beer and pointing out what you should do next.
Looks like your hood, front fenders and grill are salvageable, tub is obviously scrap. Go full-in and get a new tub, windshield frame, seats, complete new wiring kit, top, and you will have a very nice, sought after Jeep. If you put a 4.0L head, and engine wiring/computer on that 4.2L, it will surprise you how powerful/well it runs. Doing the entire 4.0L swap is another option of course (which is what I am just now finishing in my 1983 CJ5) but all you really need is the head/ wiring/computer. No point in giving up the larger displacement of the 4.2L.
You do realize that people make videos and content for their own enjoyment and not what you want, right? There are other channels, and if you don’t find what you’re looking for on one, you could simply stop watching, and go somewhere else *without* leaving a nasty remark? And his “new Jeep” is over twenty years old, so… 🤔
@@samanthamiller8791 um ok miss. I actually used to like the content when it was that old Willys he had, but then it became the same story over and over with the new jeep. This is America though right? Im free to watch and comment on anything I want. Grow a thicker skin. This sent real life. Try living through real wars and then you will realize some old farts comment on the UA-cam really isn't something to get triggered over. you seem like a democrat the way you came back at an old guy.
She’s certainly not a democrat, I can promise you that. You can watch, comment, or say whatever you’d like, which is the beauty of our rights. However, she’s allowed the same, you being an “old man” has nothing to do with anything. In fact, it’s us “young people” who are living in the wake of the world you’ve left behind-which isn’t a great one to be honest. All that aside, thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the new content being injected into the channel. Enjoy the free content. By the way, I’m always open to donations to make things speedier or more well-suited to your needs, as this is a very expensive endeavor with little to no return, all of which I fund MYSELF. I work a full time job, manage cattle on our farm, and am raising a family all at the same time, so maybe give me a little slack for the “boring content” I’ve been putting out in recent years.
Dang just a tad on selfish side there @OldWillysFrank. Let the young man succeed or fail with whatever he wants to do on his channel. I am an old fart as well and I have lived through a lot things. I really do not care about jeeps but hey I enjoy watching someone younger trying to figure things out and actually understanding how things work instead of dropping it off at the dealership and paying 500 bucks for some floor liners and a fancy bill that says we changes a sensor out. But you are correct freedom of speech is one of the things a lot of people have fought and died for. But remember what your mother said. If you have nothing nice to say they say nothing at all.
Glad to see you back with a Classic Jeep buddy! can’t wait to see her progresa

You got that right! Thanks for watching!
Love to see it get restored. Will make great content
Thanks for sharing. It already looks a whole lot better.
I agree, thanks for watching!
I had a 77 I wish I’d never sold it! Congrats!
Thanks buddy! I’m excited, I am happy to have an intermediate CJ to play with now.
same here, my first Jeep was a two year old '77 CJ7, went stupid and sold it back in the 80's.
Cool find! I'm glad someone has the dream to save this piece of history! But even more excited to see cj5 content back on the channel. I miss the old tuxedo park.

Thanks for following along, I’m planning on trying to get her running soon! Stay tuned

Thanks for watching! Top hardware and door frames are good, top is trashed.
Glad to see a cj5 back on your channel!
Me too!

I have plenty of Chiefs…I need more Indians! Sheesh, well I guess that wasn’t politically correct, was it 😆

I love it! Great find
Mighty brave running that winch cable in with no gloves.
It’s synthetic rope, not cable. I also don’t have dishpan hands, so there’s that.
New tub 🎉
Good morning from Oregon.. did you finish this project? I would love to see a picture..
There you go!
There you go!
There you go!
There you go!
There you go!

Got a 1980 cj5 renegade daily driver. Wouldn't trade it for anything
You boys got a little Appalachian in you .. saying things like back 'ere and like 'at
Wow, that is rough. I hope the price was free99. 😂
I believe free jeeps are few and far between anymore. It was a good deal!
those floor mats if original are worth good money
Awesome! Let’s 4.0 swap it! I have most of the parts!!!
I think that would be a great idea!
Looks like a T150 3 speed transmission
I believe that’s exactly what it is, actually.
Is it 3 or 4 speed? If it’s 4 I believe it’s the T-19.
Be nice to see it back to road worthy. "Restore" not neccesarily, but driving. Ya.
Agreed
The cj5 nicer than that tj
hopefully its better content than that new jeep you got there sport.

@@OldWillysFrank - That was a dumb comment, Frank.
