Today we are checking out this 1976 Jeep CJ5, which was custom built in the early 2000's but shortly after rolled three times on a trail ride. After limping it home, the owner stuck it in his garage and there it collected dust until rebuild rescue showed up to bring it back to life!!
After sitting for around 20 years will we be able to get this jeep running, and will we be able to drive it 150 miles back to the shop? You'll just have to watch and find out!

One of my favorite KZfaqrs is Vice Grip Garage. He's always bringing old vehicles back to life. One of the things he is a firm believer in is always make sure the engine will turn over by hand before using a starter. Says it can make or break an engine when it comes to reviving old vehicles. To be honest that Jeep is in pretty good shape compared to some of the stuff I've seen revived. Looking forward to seeing your next plane Revival Video! @Rebuild Rescue

I wish I had your mechanical ability. Whenever I start a project like this step 1 is alerting my local hospital and fire department.

Does no one else notice the passenger pop out and come up standing as Jeep continues to roll away? Impressive.

Hi it's Tut Tut here again......when connecting a vehicle battery ,FULLY connect a send terminal (can be positive on older vehicles) before connecting return terminal. That means fully tightened. This reduces the chance of shorts across the top of the battery from tools ,stray wiring ,components , etc. Making my way through these uploads after initially watching aircraft rescue vids. Keep up the incredible work you and your team are doing Jason.

Back in the mid-80s, I saw one of these parked in a field rusting away. I would drive by this jeep every day for a few years. I bought a CJ7 and began to think about trying to acquire that CJ5. I had this wild idea of cutting it in half and welding the back end to my CJ7. I ended up changing that idea to a more practical one. That CJ5 had a hydraulic plow attached to it. I acquired the CJ5 and had it installed onto my CJ7 and exciting enough it all worked like new.

used to have a 77 CJ-5... The good old days. I should have said it earlier too.... In September 1976, I gave $3999 for it. 4 years later when I traded it in, it was rusted in various places, but the same dealership I bought it from gave me an even $4000 for it. Turned around and bought an 81 CJ-7... The better old days. Bought an 88 Jeep Cherokee later.... Nuff said

Glad you realised that dogs like coolant, but it kills them. You are the first KZfaqr that I have seen that knows this.

@bartfart2123

i rolled my cj5 while four wheeling with some friends. as it tipped over i killed the engine. we hooked a line to it and got her on her wheels and she started up. drove it home. 258 in-line is an amazing engine. bullet proof

I used to have a levis edition, 1976 CJ5 with the 256 inline 6 cylinder. She was a stout little mule!

My husband had a straight 6 cj5 and it was awesome put in low range and it would climb a hill on it's own best jeep of all the jeeps we owned his hubs were turn in hubs . We had so much fun in that thing. He did roll it 3 different times. We live in PA and it sat for probably 6 to 8 months in winter one year and it started right up
