This is my dream willys off-road rig

I saw this video 10s times but my heart is not say to skip this

Talk about having pride in your work. That thing looks nice.

Good morning Sir, I truly look forward to the videos. You 2 very nice jeeps, more importantly a loving family. Thanks for sharing your life with us. God bless you and yours.

mygirlemily thank you! Haha I was wondering if you would recognize that spot! I was trying to think of a good backdrop....

Nice one! Must have taken a lot of time setting up the camera in all those spots to drive by. It's funny, you and Brooks Holt are the only 2 channels I give thumbs up before even watching. Also the only 2 I look forward to

The last Powder blue’49 Jeep I saw like this with a different engine was Carl & Pam Sparks’ mud bogger “Thumper”. From the Merritt Island Florida. Is this what announcer Larry Huffman meant when he referred to it as a flattop?

Nice .great work.

That looks sweet! Nice Ace Venture move at the end. :)

I've also thought that it didn't look like a WWII Jeep. You've made a great job of restoring it and improving it. I'm UK so my 4x4's of choice are Land-Rovers.

Troy Tuckwell Have you looked online at brand new tubs for just a few grand? You can also find the frames and everything you need to build a brand new old Willys jeep for a reasonable price.

Nice jeep there dad scared momma lol kids have fun god bless you take care my friends

Awesome Jeep, if it were mine is hate to get it dirty

Can it keep up with freeway traffic?

Yep, that’s the Jeep I know, you spend more time in the air than you do in the seat on anything but the smoothest trails.

Love the color. I am getting ready to do my tdi swap I'm curious what the angle of the engine in your build and what oil pan did you run I'm worried about engine to axle and hood clearance.

Thanks. My engine leans 8 degrees. I’m using a hybrid oil/aluminum pan. I had the stock pan for awhile and that fit fine too.

Beautyfull Jeep you made, do you have a report somewhere, would like to see how you adapted the TDl to the Jeep bellhousing.

Thanks! It’s a t18/spicer 18. This video has all the details. kzread.info/dash/bejne/g5WGyLSwj6WzeMo.html

Was this swap worth the time and money to do it? Because I’m looking into doing a TDI on my 1943 Willy’s.

That's very neat, but did you think of dropping in the Mitsubishi 4DR6 or 4DR5 turbo engine from the Jeeps made under license in Japan? Might have been a lot less work.

Thanks! The tdi is such a cheap and readily available option....it was a no brainer for me. The mistubishi engine is cool but expensive and not readily available. Parts are also not easily sourced locally. Not a good option for my situation. Tdi all the way for me!

@@StehHiesher I guess it depends where you are. For us, a TDi motor is more than the price of a jeep. The 4DRx engine is in so many Mitsubishi and Fusu trucks and forklifts they are quite common. Not really cheap but at least common. Your blue color is really classic for the CJ3B, really suits it!

Roy Harper this video was made for a calendar submission for a Jeep group. It’s goal was to display key features of the Jeep. So, that’s why I filmed it that way.
