Wow, that little Jeep took those trails like nothing. I want it.

I'm definatly a go fast guy, but this looks hella fun! The rig looks great, probably one of your best projects so far imo.

May want to put a little padding on that cage. Looks, sounds & performs awesome 😎

Would really love to see you guys test this out on more difficult obstacles. All the stuff you went through could be navigated easily with a stock jeep (or one with a mild lift and decent tires).

I see all the comments below and I understand some critiques - I'd have used a wiring harness bulkhead quick connect pass-through personally - but I've never myself built a complete 4-link suspension from scratch. These guys show and thinking are not necessarily to my preferences a lot of the time but they have a job to do an entertaining show using their obviously serious skillset and talents. Should they have painted the fresh cuts, grinds, and etc? Yep. Grommet the wiring? Yep. Chosen something other than self tappers? Probably - but they have deadlines and other items you and I have no clue exist. They teach us a lot (simple bending jig made of bolts on tabletop, room for tubing flex by bending around a tube, and that it needs to have flex room built in your brake lines to prevent cracking) give lots of ideas (alternate mounting of cooler locations and etc) and show how to fab some stuff. Just like This Old House showed ideas on home building and remodeling for decades without being a "how to" show, or a fully DIY show- this is similar to inspire you to grow your skillset with ideas as inspiration. Personally - I'd have built an internal tube frame and hung the gas tank from it and cooler also with a false floor or custom organizer to use the back for carrying stuff along with you, slightly more aggressive tires, switched to a LH drive, and used a different carb. Probably added slider tubes on the side (with the requisite steps - I'm getting old), run a remote radiator fill tank, exhaust run out the back with the muffler very near the end, some sort of door or half door, and had grab bars on the roll cage. But they are obviously talented they built a pretty seriously capable machine, and can make changes and upgrades as they (and we) learn more and see additional changes and needs. They can't show each step, build/finish everything perfectly or these projects would last many months and you (and I) would lose interest in certain ones because not everyone is looking to go rock crawling, mudding, cruising, drag racing, road racing, or what have you. My fear for myself is that I will get hyper-critical to the point of chasing cars down the road shouting "Get off my lawn" from our viral induced social regression leading me to become a keyboard warrior extraordinaires - with no room for our differences. Peace, learning/growth, and prosperity to all of you in the future.

I really love seeing another dj5 jeep out there. I daily drive one and have a rear seat for passengers. This is an awesome jeep. I hope this inspires more people to put these back on the road. There is a guy in Boaz Alabama that has any part you need from fenders to stock fuel pumps. Postal jeep parts is the new of the company

I Had a 1975 DJ5~ 6 Cylinder, which I bought for $500.°° I was able to replace the wheels with Suzuki samurai rims and the extra tire mount, times were hard and it made a good plumbing truck, I replaced the front and rear bumpers w/the rear having a trailer receiver and I also installed a latter rack from bumper to bumper, it was good for hauling all my tools, latter's Pipes, I even hauled A/C's and Heaters on the roof we even used it to get into the arrollos to bring out sand and bed rock when we were building our house, it lasted me about 7 Years it was very reliable.

If I built this, I would have kept the Sliding Doors, or had some Removable Canvas Doors made for Street use... SWEET BUILD Y'ALL!

That’s such a cool Jeep, I dig the right hand drive since it was a mail truck. Great job building a fun trail rig out of it! Much love from Texas.

Nice to see the finished product! Fantastic job guys!

Love this build

Turned out rad. Looks like one hell of a fun toy. Well done.

Stunning !!!!

That thing is badass! You guys have given me a few ideas for the suspension on my YJ, I think I will do a 4 link and ditch the leaf springs.

Awesome build!

Gnarly rebuild guys...that's a Rubicon +++ upgrade for sure 😉

Good job guys and the proof was on the trail!

Nice like the enthusiasm and the whole experience

That’s a cool build bringing the Mail !!!!

This was a great build, congratulations on a million subs.

Gotta love simple!

EVERYTHING is finished.....ok let's see if we have any clearance issues. LOL.

You people are crazy amazing intelligent engineers 👍👍👍🌿🌿🌸🌸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️loved your presentation

Enjoyed................... 👍👍👍👍

With some -- a few? -- MORE modifications, you could put other bodies on this. I'd try a 1/2 ton Chevy van body (short). This is like the best 4-by build EVER! This little guy looks like so much fun! And i love, LOVE straight 6s. Torquey little buggers (TLBs). Of course, i would air-ride it, but these days, i've found that i want to air-ride almost EVERYTHING! C-notches are a wonderful thing (tub the wheel wells!). This would pull a 16 foot toy hauler, easily. It's not fast, but when i'm cruisin', who cares? That 6 would make gas mileage MUCH better too, even when pulling. Also, the 1/2 ton van would be wide enough to cover the wheels, i.e. street legal (maybe with some flares, i.e. mud/debris protection).i NEED a 4by 1/2 ton Chevy van!!!,..and the chassis/suspension system of Junk Mail to put under it,...with a straight 6. 😃 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

One issue i have is where the trans cooler was mounted, mud will be a problem for that. But that is an awesome jeep

Nice work done I love it

rock guards, skid plates, and that exhaust needs to get redone and this jeep to me would be fully done. 50 series FM out farther back so that the pipe doesn't empty right into the cab. very nice job on this guys I like it.

Funny thing is in Houston county Tn they had a lifted mail truck to go through the low water bridges in the deep woods

thanks for the information mate

I do love that exhaust tone. Said nobody.

Outstanding achievement boys 😎

Key here is always get everything painted looking good before you finish fabricating

Maybe add some roll bar padding, additional (safer) places to hang on, and some 4 point harnesses... Otherwise a cool build.

Old girl needs some rock sliders and maybe a bit of body armor. Didn't think this thing would turn out as good as it did, honestly. Well done! Helluva cool toy!

I wish there had been a DJ vehicle with 4 wheel drive when I delivered mail in the snow.

You at least used washers on the brake hoses. Lol just teasing', good job guys!

I have been considering those tires for a while. They look like they handled the trails well.

why paint and coat everything and then mount the shifter and other stuff? That leaves the drilled holes and slots unprotected which can cause rust/oxidation. Everything else, nice job guys

Nice video And cool

Not bad for a upgraded old postal jeep shell

Following the entire build series and all I could think after those shocks got installed was mount the damn reservoir.

I like watching trucks when steacy David was host of that show and few truck projects he needed to got out to Memphis equipment for there parts and there is a few more military truck dealers that sell parts and books as well for them

Wish it was a diesel engine for project junk mail...but honestly turned out great, keep up the awesome videos 💯💯💯💯

No froggies were harmed in the filming of this video.😆👍❤😎

Awesome build. Is there any bump steer associated with 4 links since the gear box is mounted to the chassis?

I mean I'm not a fan of offroading that much, but this is a very cool build

Man you guys are making me want to get another dj5

I love how the link rod magically appeared overnight 😁

I need to get a postal Jimny 😊👍

Молодцы!!! крутой проект!!!👍

I have the same style and color Covercraft seat covers on my 1999 F-150. I think this project did not do enough to show just how good they actually look, especially with that bit of red showing underneath from the old seats. That look ruins it for me. It would have been nice if that was addressed. It was very difficult for me to finally commit to purchasing these covers as it take two months to ship from the time of order and they make a major dent in your wallet. Once installed, their redeeming quality is that they look so good and fit so well.

track bar!

Support the RPM act !

I have been following the build and I love it. I want to make one now too! How much HP does junkmail have on that old iron duke? I would love to see you guys get max HP out of it and how.

0:18 they put the grommet on. That's for all of you complainers last episode. They don't show everything they do on the build during an episode.

Too much time and money to clean those seat mounting brackets and spend oh, $1.99 for a rattle-can paint job eh? And I agree on the roll-bar... it's not a place to grab. Weld on some hand grab rails.

You should use lock washers.

Still used self tapping screws on the gas tank

Needs some harnesses!!

Goo0d story, but as a Mailman, I was never allowed to call "junk mail" junk mail because it could offend junk mail mailers. Like they were going to find someone else to deliver their junk! Good use of an old mail truck.

Should you have nets on those door opening?

Maybe add some "US SLAIL" decals made for this build... 🤔

Taller tires would do great on this setup.. run them 40's

For your next build, how about a Toyota Tacoma with Portal axles.

Super

What... If your using an RH32 Transmission than you had to convert it to manual shift since that is a computer controlled automatic. How did you do that ????? Plus with cable shifters you don't have to worry about body or frame flex differences.

I like the Postal Jeep transformation but you need to reduce the muffler noise.

*_Did anyone notice on the trail they were being stalked by a lime green tree monster lol 😆_*

You guy's need to invest in more flat washers and some stover nuts so parts don't bail out.

That engine sounds like a beast!

Semua video dichannel ini keren. ❤❤❤

Anyone know what they stretched the wheelbase to be?

looks like you could have lower the tire pressure some more.

Félicitation

Why it zound like it has a bad exhaust leqk? & for 20k it should do well & walk thru that stuff

I guess the door never made it.

Wat brand are the wheels?

👍

Yeah…….Carhartt seat covers. You could have bought new seats cheaper than those covers

It didn't look like you aired down for the trail

let some of the air out of the tires

What happend to the doors?

How much did you spend on JunkMail in total?

Hi , what does Carcass mean ?

Lower tyre pressures…101

Does it bother anyone else that they don't use washers on any of those bolts?

Torque wrench? Who knows it?

Anyone else notice that they didn't use locking nuts , loctite or lock washers on anything?

That gearing seems like it’s stupid low. That engine is screaming.

Giveaway for Postal workers who kept the mail moving during pandemic????

Cut a little bit more steps than I'd like from the footage.

Keep your hands off of the roll cage! A sudden roll over can mean losing you fingers or a crushed hand, even possibly being trapped in the vehicle! Use your heads guys!! (Not meaning that literally!)

from here it looks like the rear driveshaft is to long.

Full rebuild, uses rusted ass seat brackets. Come on guys you couldn’t at least spray pain them shits?

I don't understand about the steering?!)

Manda um comando de válvula de opala pra mim , 6 cilindros em linha chev 292 525b iskenderian , aqui no Brasil está custando $ 4.900,00

😁🖖👍👌✌😎

Why the automatic cranny? jc Damn youngins don't know how to drive a stick?

I know that it may be "Stupid/Sacrilegious" but, how about a 4×4 Lifted Sedan/Car Build?...
