Yes , I bought a CJ 5 and used it many years. It's an 80 model with power steering and disk power brakes. 4cylinder iron duke. Super great utility vehicle. It's far from this flat fender Wilys , but for the price and use I've gotten from it , it's served it's purpose well. Plus it'll run the interstate speed and pass cars all day long as well as crawl around in the woods.

There was Hardy Kruger riding around in a post WWII CJ jeep. I would love to own a wwii vintage type Willys jeep. I just like their size, the flat fenders and the over-all look. The closed I have to come to owning one was a early model Toyota Land Cruiser, that is somewhat modeled after the Willys. Three speed, almost flat fenders and the Japanese version of the American Jeep. I now own a Hummer H3 which is a child of the HumV from a few decades back. Great job of your Willys Jeep and I intend to catch up with many more of your videos.

@@Greendot319 Even when new, with original parts, I was told by my old timer parts man, that you should replace the intermediate shaft every 10,000 miles. They begin to show wear even before that, though. Supposedly, it's because originally, the transfer case was designed for the less powerful Bantam jeep (45hp), but it's a very heavy gear in a really spindly shaft. Post war jeeps graduated eventually to inch and a quarter shafts.
@jhoncho4x43 жыл бұрын
Modern transfercases and the Dana 20 the D18 evolved into, are straight drive to the rear axle and only use intermediate shafts to drive front axle while in 4x4 mode. Alot less wear and no noise in 2wd. The Jeep had passenger side drop drive on front and rear, with both axle pumpkins offset to passenger side to give extra obstacle clearance on driver side and be easy to line up for driver. This offroad advantage was gradually phased out.

Ford actually built more Jeeps during the first year of WW2 than Willy's. And the WW2 Jeep is more Ford prototype than the Batam that originally won the contract to make the Jeep. A look and comparison of the original prototypes submitted to the Army for testing makes it clear that Ford's Prototype is the prototype that was actually used to design the production Jeeps. The Ford bodywork and appearance combined with the Willy's Go Devil engine and spicer axles , transmission & transfer case is what went into production. Calling the original Jeep a Willy's doesn't actually make sense considering the engine is The Willy's part but the majority of the Jeep was actually Ford . The entire body including the grill , tub , hood ,fenders and windshield frame are all designed by Ford as refinements of the original Ford Prototype Jeep.

Finally! I was already starting to blame you for ruining my life by not releasing videos for my monthly jeep dose.... On a serious note, I like the tin layer for the contact points inside the bonnet. I saw the G503 videos where they scratch off the paint for the tooth washers all over the jeep. Did you put tin protection behind tooth washers as well somewhere? I guess bare metal would allow nasty future corrosion spots and I was already googling for kind of conductive grease of some sort. Putting tin behind every tooth washed is a labour intensive alternative imo. What is your opinion Matt?
@Greendot3193 жыл бұрын
No need to scratch the paint off for tooth washers, thats the whole point of them they cut through the paint themselves. This jeep has few toothed washers as its an earlier Type 1 suppression jeep but later ones had many more, they only had tinning in certain places and not behind all washers. On a modern jeep you don't really need tinning except on the important frame areas for the negative cable grounding. You can use silver paint to 'fake' the tinning for areas where grounding isn't important anymore (fender grounding, throttle choke cable grounding etc) cheers
