Good morning Sir, I truly look forward to the videos. You 2 very nice jeeps, more importantly a loving family. Thanks for sharing your life with us. God bless you and yours.
Nice one! Must have taken a lot of time setting up the camera in all those spots to drive by. It's funny, you and Brooks Holt are the only 2 channels I give thumbs up before even watching. Also the only 2 I look forward to
The last Powder blue’49 Jeep I saw like this with a different engine was Carl & Pam Sparks’ mud bogger “Thumper”. From the Merritt Island Florida. Is this what announcer Larry Huffman meant when he referred to it as a flattop?
I've also thought that it didn't look like a WWII Jeep. You've made a great job of restoring it and improving it. I'm UK so my 4x4's of choice are Land-Rovers.
Troy Tuckwell they’re aren’t too many nice older Jeeps in my area either. The northern winters have claimed them all. Road salt and moisture destroy them quickly. It’s very sad.
Troy Tuckwell Have you looked online at brand new tubs for just a few grand? You can also find the frames and everything you need to build a brand new old Willys jeep for a reasonable price.
Love the color. I am getting ready to do my tdi swap I'm curious what the angle of the engine in your build and what oil pan did you run I'm worried about engine to axle and hood clearance.
That's very neat, but did you think of dropping in the Mitsubishi 4DR6 or 4DR5 turbo engine from the Jeeps made under license in Japan? Might have been a lot less work.
Thanks! The tdi is such a cheap and readily available option....it was a no brainer for me. The mistubishi engine is cool but expensive and not readily available. Parts are also not easily sourced locally. Not a good option for my situation. Tdi all the way for me!
@@StehHiesher I guess it depends where you are. For us, a TDi motor is more than the price of a jeep. The 4DRx engine is in so many Mitsubishi and Fusu trucks and forklifts they are quite common. Not really cheap but at least common. Your blue color is really classic for the CJ3B, really suits it!
@@LesSharp no most swappers use pre dieselgate engines. There are plentiful because they made like 4 million of them and now the cars are rusting out but the engines are still good.

Soweit Sobitter cool! It’s a small world. 😆 Europe has so many cool small diesel options. I bet that will be a great engine for you. Post a link if you have a thread...I will follow along. Thanks for watching!
Roy Harper this video was made for a calendar submission for a Jeep group. It’s goal was to display key features of the Jeep. So, that’s why I filmed it that way.
This is my dream willys off-road rig

Mike Ryland thanks! Yeah it’s a civilian Jeep. Cj3a... I can’t afford a military Jeep. Haha!
Awesome video. Love the Jeep. You’ve done a great job on her. 👍🏼
That was amazing, Seth!!!! You have an awesome jeep and a real talent with videos! And you ended it at my favorite spot!
mygirlemily thank you! Haha I was wondering if you would recognize that spot! I was trying to think of a good backdrop....
You done an amazing resto on the jeep seth. Every time I see it it makes me want one more .unfortunately there like rocking horse poo here lol.

@@StehHiesher yes very sad i haven't seen one here for less than 40k australian. So that puts them out of my reach unfortunately.
Troy Tuckwell there is a guy in our Jeep group that lives in Australia and has a nice military Jeep with matching trailer!

That looks sweet! Nice Ace Venture move at the end. :)
MANOWAR KILLS I’m glad you got my reference! I always knew I liked you! “Bumblebee tuna”
Can it keep up with freeway traffic?
Love the color. I am getting ready to do my tdi swap I'm curious what the angle of the engine in your build and what oil pan did you run I'm worried about engine to axle and hood clearance.
Thanks. My engine leans 8 degrees. I’m using a hybrid oil/aluminum pan. I had the stock pan for awhile and that fit fine too.
Yep, that’s the Jeep I know, you spend more time in the air than you do in the seat on anything but the smoothest trails.
Amazing build! Which transmission and transfer case did you use?
Thanks! It’s a t18/spicer 18. This video has all the details.

Beautyfull Jeep you made, do you have a report somewhere, would like to see how you adapted the TDl to the Jeep bellhousing.

Was this swap worth the time and money to do it? Because I’m looking into doing a TDI on my 1943 Willy’s.
Beautiful scenery what state are you in? I want to do that swap on my S10 Blazer.
Arlene Wolf thanks! Pennsylvania
49? That's not how old it is is it? It looks brand new?!
Adrian Daish thanks! Yes it’s 70 years old. Everything on it has been rebuilt/restored or replaced but the majority of the parts are original.
