I’m really enjoying the Jeep built. I think it’s the best project on KZread. Can’t wait for the electronics phase of the build.

👍 for the funk homage to Binky! (brought to you by Abraham Lincoln)

I’ve just realised that this project will eventually be finished and while I’m excited to see that, I must admit I’ll also be a bit disappointed because I’m enjoying and learning so much. Cheers, Stuart 🇦🇺

This is one of those projects that will never be “finished.” I have so many ideas for it that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do them all.

Really enjoying the build, you're doing a great job and I can't wait to see the final product

That's cool, with the bed out you can see the turret mount. That's what it needs! A turret mounted rail gun.

I'm just dreaming, while you are doing the hard work, thanks!!

It's looking fabulous mate!

I love the utilitarian look of the CJ5 of that vintage.

Extra thumbs up for the Binky reference.

So much progress in one video! At this rate, you'll be finished by Festivus :D

Another masterpiece! Such a pleasure to watch! Thank you 💕

NRS straps for the win. Have fun at ALF.

Lot's of progress! Looks really good!

Great video!!!

If anyone deserves a bigger workspace then it has to be you Jeremy, great work as usual cheers

I wish you could get more subscribers. You are very talented, and better, have an amazing mind and ability to take on most projects we just dream about.

this channel inspires me to work on my project

Wow, the telekinetic spotwelding was amazing. Weld done.

Thank you Jeremy ,that's plenty of welding ..I like that !

yeeeey the jeep like vechicle is whole again

time for a shop cleanup time lapse!

beautiful work, like always. one of most interesting channels

Funk and a bracket

Good vibes, positive energy and lots of learning from you. Thank you!

WHO knows the funk might help with your bracketry 😃

Mini-Jeremy also makes, or at least clamps, things 💪😍

Just found your channel last week, it’s fantastic, thanks so much!

You are a wizard with metal

Amazing effort, coming together!

Looking great!!!

Freakin amazing progress dude. Love your grin as you sit in the driver’s seat for the first time.

Looking good Jeremy. 👍

Great skillset my friend! Im a jeremy who makes things too!

I hope youre having as much fun with this as we are!

Looks very good👍you have gold hands. I'm waiting new part. Anton St.Petersberg Russia.

Good progress, keep it up! Looking forward to the electrics portion of the build :)

Jeep is looking great.

Coming along nicely, well done. 👍

Rotisserie suggestion: put a right angle gear box in place of one the trunions. Like a 100-1 reduction. I got tired of my rotisserie turning uncommanded and did this. Put a motor and fwd rev remote control and it’s super nice.

Nice job lots of work

I like the part where you tried to spot weld with your brain (And tiny hands use vice grips).

Glad to see this... I have been expecting you to dish out a comprehensive ``putting together`` video, but i had no idea when it will come... Nice work, especially for sheet metal... That shit is a nightmare... I love metalwork, but metalwork with 3+mm thickness stock... Thin stuff just drives me up a wall...

I just love 60s Cjs. They're like a Willy's with all the modern affinities. The best of both worlds! I'm really loving this build

LOL I've done the same exact thing with not-deep-enough clamps. Mind tend to flex; maybe because I'm only using angle iron and not box.

I expected a donut to appear during the telekinetic spot welding sequence.

The madness continues, can’t say I’m disappointed…. Not one little bit.

I didn't know it's possible to brain-weld. I should give it a try one day. And I also think you need a bigger workshop. But, who doesn't?

I will say it gave me a pretty bad headache. Shop size doesn’t really matter, because the contents of the shop just expand to fill the available space.

Would be helpful to know what settings you had on your brain for the telekinetic welding please.😁

👍👍😎👍👍

Woo!

You are VERY talented, I'm curious to learn your plans for the electric repower. I built 2 electric cars using elect. forklift components because of budget constraints. They were totally functional but I was disappointed with the performance results.

👍😊

Looks like the upholstery needs a slight buff....maybe you can use your brain for that as well.🤭 Cheers

Ive always prefered the cj7 over the cj5. One thing youll find out about the cj5 if youve bever owned one before is R.I.P to your funny bone...

Whoooo boy, that was A LOT of work in a 20 minute video. What's the tool called that does the temporary hold downs? The coppery looking removeable connectors you used a bunch of times?

It’s a cj5 body on a m38a1 frame. The original frame was rusted out, but I found the other frame for cheap. Other than the machine gun mount and some extra boxing, it’s the same frame.

So the thing to realize is I had no knowledge or skill on this before I started. The only way to learn is to do it. I was fortunate in that this thing was complete junk, so I wasn’t going to ruin it if I screwed up.

How do you like that stripping drum tool? Can it handle mill scale? Is it a Bauer or something else red?

I do love some anchorlube. Great stuff. I stumbled across the stuff maybe 10 years ago, has greatly extended my tooling life and reduced effort. I work in ship repair and use the stuff for working on the ship - drilling and tapping holes by hand. I found your channel a couple days ago and have enjoyed your content. I wish I could do the machine work you do. I have a tendency to do the 'driving pin nails with a sledge hammer' approach to building brackets and such for the jeep. I have a 90 XJ I have been playing with for the last 8 or 9 years. What is the red spray paint you applied to the steel between two lapped panels?

@JeremyMakesThings

It’s a weld through primer. The idea is to get at least some protection on surfaces that can’t be painted later. It seems like the majority of the rot on this (or at least the worst of it) started where two panels were overlapped, thus trapping moisture. Wait…you you might actually use anchor lube on an anchor? 🤣

@benjaminreinhardt259

@@JeremyMakesThings LOL. I have not drilled holes in any anchors. I have drilled and tapped 5/8-11 holes in 1" plate down in a main space with it. Can't say enough how well the stuff works. I was hoping that was weld through primer you were using. It looked like red rustoleum to me. The stuff I use is gray. I know all too well about panels rusting from between the lapped panels. I replaced a couple panels in my jeep 5 years ago. I used the weld through primer, but did not seam seal the seams. I noticed not too long ago the panel has rusted out again. I have to redo that entire area anyways, changing a few things, and will be sure to seam seal it this time.

Is there gonna be any kind of anti-rust coating involved with protecting it, or are you gonna stick to just primer, curious

Love this project. Random and weird question, do you think the spotwelder would still work if you hold the contact tips by hand and have them connected via thick wire. I'm thinking for hard to reach places without having to have very weird and/or long arms?

@JeremyMakesThings

5 ай бұрын

So my understanding is the issue is that they’re very low voltage (but very high amperage). So introducing more resistance (even through the longer tongs it’s noticeable) causes significant voltage drop (and therefore also amperage drop, and therefore welding performance drop). So in theory if you made the wires big enough diameter, it would work, but may not be practical. But figuring that out is above my pay grade

I know the plan is for it to be fully electric, but have you considered a diesel (or gas) electric hybrid like what Deboss Garage is doing in partner wirh Edison Motors?

That was a whole lot of work you've put in there, but it's really starting to look good. I'm no expert, but your spot welder seems to take a long time to make welds, how thick is the sheet metal?

I couldn’t help but laugh at your solution to grinding your vice grips to weld in some extensions which was the perfect segue into your reply to that one smart ass commenter (not needing long spot welder electrodes) 🤣. I think if you strained just a little more your psychokinetic ability would have awakened! Then you could have proved that guy right 👍… HOWEVER demonstrate careful discretion and make certain not to strain too hard, many a man sharted* themselves chasing that dream … ahhh the bittersweet trials and tribulations(Trauma) of youth 😭. *Shart: The unintentional BM while passing gas.

What are those little copper tubes called that you put onto the parts you are going to weld? Are they just to keep the parts in place or do they have some other fuction too? Also, what kind of weldable primer do you use?

@JeremyMakesThings

They’re called clecos. They’re basically like temporary rivets, just to hold the panels in place. This is the primer I’ve been using. It’s cheap and seems to work well: a.co/d/haQNfsi
