- Showing progress on the frame swap I am doing on Grampa's Jeep, my1948 Willys CJ2A.
This episode we watch Sammy Seivert of Midnight Arc Metalwerke / midnight.arc.metalwerke install the new winch mount bumper on my replacement M38 frame. Also I clean up the rolling chassis with the drive train and my cousin Don Fuller helps me with some body repairs.
Stan your Jeep is the coolest and glad you actually use it! Love Grandpa’s Jeep!
Thank you. And thanks for watching.
Awesome progress! You are moovi'n right along. That sweet winch mount has really strengthened the front end of the new frame. Looking forward to Grampa's Jeep being better than ever, but still really close to stock. It'll be so nice and tight, you'll have to re-learn your driving HaHa!!
Thanks Timm.
Hi Stan ,I really enjoy your channel! Grandpa’s jeep is going to be great when you’re done! I have a 1977 cj5 that I have gone through from the frame up. It’s getting close to being completed. Good luck with your project and keep the videos coming! Ken
Thanks, Ken. Good luck on your project.
We aren’t going to recognize Grandpa’s Jeep when you are done. If stone chips are the best trophies, Grandpa’s Jeep belongs at the Olympics winning Gold!!!! Thanks for keeping us motivated to work on our own Jeeps❤
Hah. Just look for rusty crusty one with the cool winch bumper.
Amazingly tough vehicle!

you may find when you add your winch that those crown front leaf springs will flatten out...this happened on our CJ3B when we added a 9500 amazon winch (about 65lbs).
Thanks for checking in. I have worried a little about the extra weight.. We shall see.
This axe has been in our family for over 100 years. Handle was replaced 10 times, the head only 4 times.
Hah! Point taken. Thanks for checking in.
@@Grampas-jeep Wish I had grandpa's Jeep. Mom and Dad went a courting in it.
Big thumbs up Stan and thanks for sharing this process of resurrection of Grampa's Jeep! We love it! Gratitude! Looking forward to your adventures.
Thank you!
Getting a bit done, motor looks great, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Stan, I see your upgrading to a winch. Did you find that Unicorn 6v winch or are you going to a 12v system?
Brennan’s Garage can special order 6 volt winch motors for the Bellevue style early winches. If I ever get mine installed and working, it will be one of the first active in the wild.
@Stan.
Is the M38 frame the same material thickness as 3A frame?
Other than the gun mount is there any additional frame bracing M38 vs 3A?
The places you go, Function before beauty.
Thanks for checking in.
Looks like you have some grate help don't forget to install a new timing gears and chine that will wake the old gal up. Paul
Thanks for checking in, Paul. No timing chain on this rig, only. Gears. I'll take a good look at them when I get them apart.
@@Grampas-jeep After I sent that it donned on me to look in the book and sure enough gears. It's the thought that counts not old age I just like to help if I can. Paul
Kamakazi jeep frame. Lol
do you know what caused the frame to break? Pure metal fatigue? Looks pretty dramatic!
This Jeep takes a beating and that frame is 75 years old.
Good evening sir, I’m enjoying the videos! I love the Jeep flat fenders. Sir while you have the Jeep apart, please, please, install a 4 speed granny tranny. It will help your wheeling and reduce the speed you have to attack the obstacles. Thank you Sir for all you share. God bless you and your family. Looking forward to the trail videos!
Watch Stan’s off-roading videos. The answer is there.
