At 16( back in 97) my grandfather helped me buy my first jeep an 81 cj7 that had spent 5 years in the woods with a handful of tools,starting fluid and a spare tire I drove it out and I don't which one of us had the bigger smile .thanks for bringing back a wonderful memory . Rip poppy

Thanks for helping me relive the excitement of finding my first Jeep. Mine is a 1969, and it has been taking up half of the space in my garage for the last two years. Every few months I open the hood and tinker a little. I’m sure I’ll have it running in another 20 years.

1995. Just can't let them go, learned to drive a stick, a WILLYS

back in the 60's my dad, brothers and i hiked miles back into the woods to find an old willys that was buried in a ravine. we worked for two days with shovels and a come-along to try to get that thing out. far as i know its still there.

This is brilliant already, and I know it's going to get brillianter. Awesome stuff Jeremy - looking forward to more.

This channel is super underrated. Your content is good, this project should be awesome to watch come to life.

I already enjoying this right now! Looking forward to the rest of the restoration!

Great project! I'm tuned in to see how it goes.

So looking forward to this series!

Can’t wait to see what cool tools and projects you make from Eileen 😎 🦆🦆

I really dig your editing and filming style. You speak clearly and your Dad jokes are tongue in cheek..

Cool! Looking forward to seeing whatever it ends up becoming!

Look at it this way, it is already a wreak, so whatever you do WILL be an improvement. Looks like a grand project to me. I'll be watching your progress...

Yay! So keen to watch the series!

Great find...now ya got your own version of a project clanger..eager to see this progress

Going to be a interesting project, looking forward to it...

Thanks for sharing your content.

I'm amazed there was anything left after 25 years in all that greenery, let alone having some actually not too bad frame rails.

Jeep fanatic here! Love the name!

I have been looking forever for such a top.

That hard top is super funky cool, you should definitely keep it. Would make an awesome ice cream truck haha

Subscribed. Looking forward to the project.

Reminds me of the Golden Nugget rescue on Matt's Off -Road Recovery. Nice project.

Interested in watching your project. Electric sounds intriguing.

Great project. Thanks

That has to be the cleanest hi-lift jack I have ever seen.

Jeremy, this Jeep reminds me of _my_ '46 CJ-2A (early model). A previous "owner" built his own hard top for it, but welded it to the windshield frame solidly across the top and stitch welded the angle iron frame to the top edge of the body. All I had was hacksaw blades, so it took "a while" to cut it off. Hopefully, before I die, I'll either repair the windshield frame or replace it. ;) The floor is completely gone in the body that I have (due to leaves accumulating in it since it had no "solid" doors. The main cross-member under the front end of the engine in my Jeep is a steel tube welded between the main frame members, but one side has cracked at the weld. I _really_ look forward to what you do to get this Jeep back on the road! Also, being afraid of going over 55 MPH (~88.5 KPH) in the Jeep may not be a problem because my Jeep never could run that fast due to its gearing. I think the only way mine would go faster than 55 MPH would be to drive over a cliff tall enough for gravity to reach/approach "_terminal_ velocity" over 55! ;)

I think it's a gem. Yes it will need some work. BUT it will be a thing of beauty when finished.

Im happy in following, watching this channel because im a avid fan of Jeep and so awesome to find this channel of restoring vintage Jeep. Thanks Jeremy. I will share this tomy social media accounts and network of friends. From Philippines, the Jeep country🥰

This should be a fun project to watch.

Hope you are having fun in the canyon.

Sure it's a challenge. Go ahead, don't give up!

I have a 1953 ex military M-38A1 like that CJ-5. It has that same hardtop on it. My top has a small brass plate on the right side that says Koenig Iron Works on it. Koenig was big back in the day making tops, snowplows, winches, etc. When I get around to restoring the Jeep I’ll probably just go with a repro military canvas top. Edit: I made my original comment about the hardtop when I was only a few minutes into the video. Now I see that top does have the Koenig plate on it.

Part that horn out, it works! You ought to see if Mustie1 is available for consultation, might help. Looks like a "whalin" project. Enjoyed watching, keep up the good work, oh also the humor. Thanks!!

I bought my 78 CJ5 last year after switching from motorcycles (leg amputation). I found a fairly decent body and great frame. Getting 258 / 6 and other parts from some off road murders. Hoping to get it on the road. This one is awesome. Looks to be great fodder for a rebuild. Please don't go EV. These old jeeps should chug along and barely hit 55.

A Beautiful Gem in the Rough!

For a 25+ yr nap she looks amazing, that’s old metal for ya!!

Quite the epic adventure!

Just came across. I love this project

The Assachusetts license plate is gold!

I luv ol’ jeeps, I had a 66 cj5, 70 cj5 and a 71 cj5, my hr glass has ran out, wish I was a kid again working on my dinasaur jeep!

Looking forward to a lot of fun

Really good video here

I love this stuff...

When you said "rescue and tear down" you weren't kidding, sorta looks like you rescued more rust than Jeep. Good luck with it.

You do have something for sure I haven’t seen many with the old top on them for sure 👍

Good work 👍👍👍👍

Meu sonho encontrar uma relíquia dessas, estão de parabéns 🇧🇷🇧🇷

Of course you’re going to leave the “living patina” on it. I love pulling in for state inspection with lichen growing all over my W-250. 🤠

Awesome. My first car was a 59 CJ-5. Was tons of fun till I wrecked it.

Swap to a better frame. Rebuild the engine. Paint EVERYTHING with POR-15 to prevent any more rust. And drive it like you stole it. But you'll only go 40MPH at best with the factory 5.38 differential gears. I did the same thing to my 1956 CJ5 but I installed a brand new body tub from the Philippines. Mine's good for another 66 years.

I have a 52 .m38a1 military I love that thing.a buick 225 v6 punched out 30 over.35x12.50 tires on it but wish I had hard top for it like that for winter Shaw trips😁👍

Awesome! Now you and Geoffrey Croker can race to see who will get their heep done first! 😅 Cheers

Was hoping someone would mention Geoffery Croker. His videos can show you some of the horrors hiding in a rusty frame, and also how to repair them.

Keep the moss it's good camouflage and the greenies will love it.

Very nice, very cool ❤😎👍

So this is the second Jeremy makes things video for me. I like the way you think! I also saw we are neighbors so to speak. (I spied the NH license plate on your truck) I am over in the Lake Sunapee area. Anyway the concept of an electric drive jeep sounds fun, after all electric mining trucks have been around for ages and nothing has better instant torque than a well designed electric drive system. Plus it's probably never going to make a numbers matching restoration, so why not? 😁 I am going to enjoy to see what you learn as you go along. I dare say I will learn a thing or two as well.

YES... DO THE PROJECT. I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE HORN TOUCH AT THE END.

Super vedio bro 👍

Wow! it was at one with the forest when the video began. At 12:28 it was, "Hey, I am not playing around" time.

I love the 'assachusetts' license plate. Which means some masshole drove it up to NH, probably tail gating the whole way, drove through someone's property without permission, ran out of gas and just left it. Sounds about right.

Excelente video seria bonito que lo Restauren ya que lo rescataron opino y la 2da parte?

Just play this backwards to reassemble 😂 Very cool project, I look forward to the 86th video

Very nice

How close is Irene, to Lake Spofford! I recognize the bridges on route 9A

LOOKING FORWARD TO FOLOING ALLONG.

Parabéns pôr recuperar essa jóia

Exciting project -- I can't help but want you to tear into that engine.... and see where that goes. I'm getting vibes of Geoff Croker even if this ends up a totally different kind of project

A Major Degreasing job will be called for!

Es la primera vez que veo un jeep wilis caminado 😅😛ojalá lo saquen adelante como viene sin ser original precioso ,buena suerte

Take a look at SGI, they’re in India and make reproduction jeep parts for these old willys. They literally just came out with an early cj5 reproduction tub. It’s been highly reviewed by jeep guys here in the states! You can also go that route for a frame, unless you find a good original frame. Which they do exist although you have to search for them. All in all there’s nothing like driving an old jeep. Open top, windshield down, no seatbelts. 55mph is like the max performance the F head engine will give you. Probably cruise more comfortably around 45. Good luck in your restoration of this beauty!

When you're selling jeep, keep in mind you got it free. Don't get greedy.

No guts, no glory. Go for it.

Whatever you do, do not scrap out the F - 134 engine. It's a great, reliable, heavy duty little classic power plant that uniquely possesses that "Jeep" sound. They're getting scarce.

Sticking around here.

Great restore project 1:29

The easiest way to free up the cylinders is to put vinegar in it and let it stay in it for about 3 days then it will free up. Then blow it out and spray w d forty in it

No wasps ? Come on lol .I got stung so many times I ve lost count saving junkers ,nice find

good luck

🤔 Stuck cylinders. I've heard pouring hot oil down the cylinders and wait for an hour can loosen them.

electric conversion sounds super amazing!

Jeremy, it looked hopeful when camouflaged with half the rainforest growing on, under, in and beside it. Now that it's "cleaned up" I'm beginning, as I'm reasonably sure you are, question your sanity/insanity at attempting this "project"? My suggestion would be to contact Paul at Fabrats and see if he's aware of a frame for it. After that it basically new springs etc. The motor I'm sure you could find something that works. Electrifying it?? Like you said it has the aero of a fridge. But having seen what you can do with other "piles of excrement" I'm sure you'll figure something out. We'll be watching and waiting. Good luck from Canada's banana belt. 🤔💩🤔💩🤩🦃🇺🇲🕊️🇺🇦🍌🇨🇦👍

This Jeep is worth the price of takin it away!

When is your restoration to start?I love to see that jeep running again on the road starting it seconds life after so many years lying idle in the forest.
