There’s no doubt the Jeep is one of the most popular vehicles out there to modify and customize. Wagoneers, CJs, YJs, TJs, and JKs are just a few of the popular models that everybody knows and loves to modify. But what if you buy a project with a specific plan in mind, only to find all is not what it seems? Do you sell it? Restore it? Modify it? Well, this time on GEARZ, Stacey answers those questions as he rolls in a rare 1967 Jeepster convertible and shows you how to successfully change the direction of a project when it throws you a major curveball. Follow along as Stacey strips down this Jeepster and goes Commando, then starts a level 1 restoration instead of the level 3 he had originally planned. After that, we take a minute to check out the Keep On Truckin’ event at this year’s Grand National Roadster Show. So many trucks, so little time!

Started watched Stacey David on Trucks! back in 2003. I absolutely credit him to my fascination with maintenance and restoration of cars and trucks. 21 years later and still get sucked into these episodes!

I miss both my 1980 Jeep CJ5 258 inline 6 and a 4 speed transmission. And my 1988 Chevy S-10 Pickup with 4.3L and 5 speed transmission. both were fun vehicles and I loved off roading in them! Am looking to get an S-10 Pickup for a project vehicle. I want to make it a Convertible California Lowrider with articulated full size bed.

I like that you made the Jeepster enjoyable, they all have a story and sometimes the 500hp that you can put under the hood is not the right story. I love all of the chrome, paint, and interiors on a show cars, but when you get to having to put them on a trailer to go to the show you miss out on some of the fun of driving it. I have 71 F250 that I am trying to bring back and it will go to show, but it is being driven and hauls and will tow.

Could have cleaned up the top of the stud with a wire wheel, put down a washer, welded a 1/4"/5/16" nut, heated up the manifold let the heat suck wax down the threads and work it out slowly.

I saw this episode and am happy to say I have a 1967 RS Camaro and a 1986 Chevy Silverado 3/4 ton camper special. That came with the dual tanks and batteries, I purchased the truck straight off the lot. The truck is under full restoration and I would like to know is that a 4-inch lift and what size and make are the tires and rims. Also on a comical note, any way you can bring back the 16 1/2-inch rims and tires .

@Sackmatters Жыл бұрын

That lift appears to be a 6”-8” with 37” tires.

If there aren't large holes in it, you could try one of the tank coating products. We featured one last season. Check it out at the 9:08 mark of this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b56qgKx-2J29oaM.html

I believe in keeping vehicles original, slamming trucks on the ground isn't practical and doesn't make sense the way roads are. If you want a low rider, buy a sports car, don't ruin a truck

I agree to an extent, the best part of vehicles is personalizing them and making them yours to a lot of folks.
