The Backstory of Jamie's Jeep....
Jamie has wished and WISHED for a Willy's Jeep for her Christmas and Birthday present 🎁 . Ian has had a beautiful Willys 1946 CJ-2a Jeep in the back sitting on a Willys M38A1 Chassis for the past few years. Ever since Ian and Jamie were married, Jamie has been eyeing it for a build on Full Custom Garage, sadly the project didn't make it to the show, but now she gets her wish! Jamie is learning about the history of these jeeps and is learning a little wrenching from Ian. The desert is a great place to go "jeepin" and Jamie wants to be part of the club in the warmer months and feel the wind in her hair as she drives to the local market. Jamie is down to get her hands dirty in the garage on this one! We appreciate our amazing support system in the desert with helping us procure the parts needed for this fun build!

Hey everyone! We had a GREAT TIME at KOH 2024! We are glad to be back after taking a week away from the socials and filming! Ian is taking on this jeep project head on with the cross steering! It is cross steering, not typical of hot rod steering! We can't wait to get this jeep rolling very soon! Please remember to SUBSCRIBE! LIKE! COMMENT! SHARE! Big LOVE! Ian and Jamie
Ian for the steering in relation to the cross member you can cut a hole straight through it and weld a piece of pipe in the cross member so the steering rod can run through it and you can keep the strength of the cross member
Is there a reason you can’t attach the steering box to the closest end of the steering rod? Instead of going all the way across ?
Yes ,bump steer.

Jamie--what is the post production like getting these UA-cam vids online?
I miss the shop inspector but I’m enjoying ur Padiwon student
Yayyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! longer video.
THE CRUSHER!!
It's pretty common to weld a bung with a tapered hole on top of the cross bar to attach the tie rod of the drag link to. It would solve the clearance issue on the passenger side because it would move the drag link rod end inboard of the spring on both left & right turns, still keeping the drag link as long as possible.
Nothing better than watching the professor at work. Hope you and Jamie escape all the threatening weather heading your way. That jeep will be running soon. Thanks for the class.
Interesting. As you say learning as we go. Thank you.
I just love Ian's go for it attitude! So refreshing!
I was so glad to see you remove the foot from the center and then sleeve it. Most folks would have removed from the end not realizing that in the process of rejoining the strength of the mental can be compromised. 👍
Just keep on keeping on! Keep it your way please!
Always good to take some extra time with steering and suspension. One of the things I really try not to rush. You think you're making good time, then bam, back to square one...lol just take the time your first time and you'll be all good.
Great vid as always. "Why do get all the fun/" "Cos I'm the star!" 🤣
You guys always make my day, thank you. Ian, as Jack Reacher says, a plan is only a plan until the first shot is fired.
Great how Ian can bring his own twist even to building parts for a Jeep.
My '48 Willy's had a "crystalized frame" (it didn't like the weight of the 302 HP someone put in it). The Willy's frame flex is one of its secret weapons but at their age they break. I know you will know what to do about it.
The stock brakes will remind you to not drive too fast. 😂
Love going to school at Ian and Jamies Hot Rod College. Stay safe and happy
You might want to check with C & C Equipment for jeep parts . The have everything from the first jeeps to almost currant ones. You can build a jeep from them to include all powertrain parts. Just a thought and good luck on what you are working on.
Ian needs a star named for him. He is out of this world 😀
I would of used a piece of angle iron and layed the tie rod in it to hold the 2 halfs straight.
You'll get it sorted, you're on the right track.
...why is watching Ian work like Zen?...-theautojunkie-
Today’s episode of Full Custom Ian is brought to you by the Number Three, Ah ah ah. Also troubleshooting and creativity at its best. Great work you two.
Love the PRECISION TIE ROD "wooden pallet table"! From the Army - 'smoke if ya gottem'!!! 😂
Great video, think you for the lesson on front ends. The interaction between you two is priceless. 😀
I sure am diggin the background tunes…. Lovin the footage guys! Inspirational..
I would have probably sleeved it inside and out but that's because I believe in the demon Murphy
Great video guna be great jeep when done
Love the way Ian can repurpose and fab with all recycled parts so cool 😎 never a dull moment. Thanks Jamie for the great camera work ! Keep on keeping on guys 👍👍👍
Take a wire brush to them threads
Now yer steering Jamie's Jeep in the right direction 🥁 tishhh.... l thank you 😂.... yeah l know l used that one when you were doing the steering on little Jewel, can't beat the old jokes though 😅.... Great video guys 👍
Since the axle sits on top of the spring if you were to make some small spacer plates ( just thick enough for the clearance you need) and place them between the axle and the springs you could address the clearance issue with the tie rod and lower the front of the jeep ( just a little) at the same time.
I couldn't see if there was a foot on the axle tube to stop it rotateing..
The drag link is from a 57 Willy’s wagon. :). 🎉
Ian & Jamie ❤️❤️🌹🌹
Step drill also known as Christmas tree bit
Ian, just a thought, why don't you get a remmer so you can put the track rod ends in from the top instead of the bottom as they are now, you would also have to bush the larger hub holes or sadly have to buy new track rod ends, I guess you probably had the same thought, best wishes to you both
Darren
Thank you both
Nice progress on the jeep. Does your friend that has mister T also have one of your earlier builds? I'm thinking i saw the car you used the steel out of your boots for air scoops on the cowl sitting in the shop of the "a little off the top" show.
I made my stearing so much easier. Do you remember using a broom handle and wraping the rope around it a few turns and secure it. Turn the stearing wheel and it wraps and shortens to one side snd lengthens to the other side. The wheels mounted to a cross 2x4 that pivots on a center bolt.
Heck, yeah! Pinewood Derby tech oughta' work great on Jamie's Jeep. 🤪
Early Mustangs have center links that looks like they would easily adapt to your needs to clear the springs.
Real nice explanation. Thanks for sharing with us.
I found out why the tires pattern is the way it is it’s so the enemy can’t tell which way you’re going
You could fix your tie rod clearance issues with a couple of heim joints. They'll thread right in your drag link and you could drill down thru your tie rod holes and then use some bolts and move drag link on top instead of the bottom. Just a suggestion. Love what you're doing.
Love the Jeep.
It would be stronger if you sleeved the bolts as they go through the frame to keep the frame from collapsing under the torque of the steering box
The plate is being welded to the frame..
What happens when u get weight of engine just saying cheers 🥂 guys 😊
youre a incredible pair.. ill never get to do what you guys do but im gaining a far better understanding ..power t u both
🦘🇦🇺 🤔 Jeep body on a Vee Dub pan next ?? 🤭
Project for Jamie, making f/glass moulds from J.J. ??
Thought !!!! Do the hub arms disconnect ??? if they can be swapped from one side to the other, behind instead of infront, it would allow you to move the steering box behind the crossmember with the pitman arm forward instead of back. Giving you a much shorter steering column link and no crossmember issues.
Gee Mr. Roussel, Is all of this going to be on the final exam? ... Nice job walking the lay person through the details of steering geometry. You could make a reading of a telephone book interesting. Thanks.
Use a piece of angle iron as a V Block to lineup both sides straight
I'd lift the drag link up so the tie rods drop DOWN into the knuckle, instead of pushing up, that way you gain a lot of clearance from the springs.
Cool 😎
It's CUSTOM!! Will any of that geometry change once you add the weight of the engine, driveline, & front sheet metal? Just asking. Another wonderful school day!!👍

Yepper,a piece at a time.
I get it. I'm digging man
Comprehensive explanation of the steering. Wouldn’t a rack be easier? Making brackets and putting in a pump seems easier? 😃
make transfer pins out of old bolts --
Do a spring over on your Jeep. That will solve the contact issue with the springs
🫵🏻😎👍🏻
a tierod assembly from a 70s -80s ford truck or van will help you out
I cut a hunk of metal and drilled a couple holes in it, and used it to mount a motor onto my bike. Im so full custom.
I know a Guy who done a amazing job fitting a Weedeater Engine to his Bicycle, it realy good fabrication, but it was on the wrong side and the Bike went backwards...

Have you heard of C&C Equipment in Indiana. They sell old jeep parts also. Including whole body kits
WELCOME BACK!!
Good to see y’all get away to refresh the soul
hello, i am reaching out in desperation my partner is a huge fan he watches your youtube videos and live's all the time but i first saw you in your tv show he showed me. He has managed to see every season except for season 9 in Australia we have found it impossible to watch it online, i am wondering if you or anyone else knows what i can do to watch it with him really thinking it would be a great date night for feb14th to binge season 9 :) any help would be very appreciated. :)
Can't you rearrange the ends to where you can go in from the top on the wheel instead of on the bottom to it won't hit the leaf Springs.
Love how you jump around on these projects keeps it very interesting
Jamie authorizes it, what si her opinion.....lucky You need!!!!
Hey Ian I have done the steering swap you are doing I used ford rod ends and got tapered reamer from speedway and put rod ends on top of arm on steering knuckles gives you plenty of clearance I did use power steering box just a little info that might hep run taper in from top on steering arms
Quick question. Are you not moving the front axle back to centre in the front fenders ?
Can you swap sides and gain clearance from the leaf spring? Just a thought.
Why Do You Use Battery Operated Tools VS Tools With A Cord?
Would be cool if you could swap the left side with the right side and place them upside down so left on right side and right on left side, seems it may place the steering somewhere between the leaf spring and chassis maybe 🤔
Cut Out The X Member & Make A Better One
You got to tac it to the vise , no spin method lol
Weld a short piece angle iron to your g clamp the you have a clamp that will line your two tunes sraight

Thanks for sharing with us. Still loving the jeep
Sooo....looks like you decided to take my suggestion to call the jeep "JJ" 😉👌 I also suggested the name for Robbie Layton's 4x4 limousine "Laymo" sooo..I guess I'm now Famous 😂😂😂 I'm jus say'n, Flodaddy!
It definitely has a ring to it....I am envisioning a pinstripe "JJ" on the side after it is painted! ~ Jamie
@@fullcustomIan This is one of my favorite subscriptions ( new version with Jamie at the camera👍) and also Fab Rats! Like your decision to do the drive around the property before solar development and King of the Campers trip, makes it feel more personal and shows that two have great personalities away from the show! I'm jus say'n Flodaddy!❤
Yessss! We are weirdos in our own right… but LOVE the desert… it’s where we met 😎😎 We really just like to have fun and we see the irony in everything… happy you see it 👽👽~ Jamie
From this day on, you will be known as, Mike the name Guy..
I@@65cj55 Ok..its an honor...or refer to me by my nickname "Flodaddy " 😎👌Thank You 👏
In the back window of my buddy's big 4 door jeep a sticker says "GO AROUND. IF I WAS MEANT TO GO FAST I WOULDN'T BE SHAPED LIKE A BRICK " .i thought it was funny.
Lol, that's funny..
When the mystery box was clanging I immediately thought FINALLY more cowbell lol
Never enough cowbell!!
My Ian. 🤙 my 1986 , 560SL has a very sloppy gear box. It's fir sale . What a BEAUTIFUL CAR 🚗
Step drill or unibit
Why not turn cross member up side down?
Put a small lift on it. The spacer underneath the axle will help you clear. Just a thought enjoy the show. Thanks. Jennings marshall
The spacer will lower the vehicle…. Think about it
Won’t the steering box be in the way of the winch
I recently had a Pittman arm installed and man am I’m sore
Everyones mind is a fascinating, complex construct, yours is on a whole other level of amazement! 👍👍👍👍👍😁
Reminds me of doing my model a steering using a vega steering box converting it to cross steer.
Has to be the largest set of channel locks I’ve seen. Glad to hear you’re updating the steering because I suffered long with mine. Good to see you both back. Good on ya
Looking good 👍 great video 📹 👍 love you guys......
The only issue that you could run into by using the longest rod insert would be that if you didn't leave enough room on each end, your tie rod ends could bottom out against that inner rod when you're trying to make adjustments.
That occurred to me, too, as a possible limitation. Did Professor Ian bottom out the ends to see if he left enough internal clearance? I guess we'll see!
Ow my ocd kicked in when there was a different offset on one of the mount spots I'd have to grind one of the lug nuts to parralel the bracket to the steering box. Still love watching the genius at work. Thanks team Russell
You can usually rotate the clamps on the tie rod ends to provide more clearance.
Glad to hear you saying things from the 70s I can dig it can you dig it right on far out etcetera about the time you were born thanks for the video
Thank god you don’t live close to the pacific ocean. You could have called the whales ashore with those sounds.
😂😂😂😂
Thanks for another great episode.
du beau travail et une grande imagination!!!!! Bravo👍👍👍 From France
This was a very great episode! To actually learn how to think with placing a new steering box 👍👍👍
I loved that every time sps back to give us a look, there was the face in the fire wall looking back at us. The cut outs make a perfect face.
