Christina you made a great buy, and Richard you used your magic again to get it running! Neat old Jeep!
Awwwww wata story!!!!
something magic these old jeeps
You sir are looking very good glad to see your health is returned 👍
Hi yall from west Alabama hugsss
Wow,what a score!
Very cool, great vid!!
Nice score, Christina! Well done. Sometimes the story behind the vehicle is as important as the vehicle itself. That lady will be happy that you finish what her husband started. Will watch the future videos of this Jeep for sure!
Gm from Louisiana great find Christina y'all rock
I have a jeep I love it I think you have made a fantastic 😊 purchase
Thank you! Can you tell I was afraid he might be mad🤣
@@christinarust6957 Who could be 'mad' at that face (the Jeep's)... who?... _who?_ (Jeep wagging tail).
Great video thanks. That Jeep deserves a full rebuild.
You're welcome. More to come!
Can never go wrong with an old Jeep.
Couple low mileage oil changes with “kerosene treatment” seafoam, Berrymans or whatever of choice and that’s gonna shine.
Such a great story!! Nice job with this one!
nice find. good job.
Awesome video!!! I believe “J-Rex” is going to e an awesome “series” of videos!! Love this!!!!
Make em proud Richard and Christine ❤
You can't go wrong with a Jeep.
Love this video, Christina is so happy with her purchase and Richard so happy to receive this gift. It’s going to be a lot of work. Will be looking forward to more episodes of the repairs on your Jeep. Also such a great story of the history of the Jeep. 👍👍❤
Good Job Christina.
"you have a 25% chance of being right" Best quote of the week!
A few people have said that was funny🤔😄 Perhaps I should quote percentages more often😉 Thanks for watching we appreciate you 🙏
The incredible simplicity of this jeep! However if it makes the two of you happy putting it back on the road, then its worth every penny.
What a great story and I'm looking forward for many more videos with restoration 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️😀
Thanks James. More are on the way!
On a flat head, you can use a Allen wrench down in the spark plug hole an very easy tap on the valve if it is stuck open an you can spary your cerl on the valve
Great story! Sounds good on all 4 cylinders.
Far better than on three!
What I enjoy most is watching the two of you work together as a couple. Good on you and good luck with the Jeep. They are Keepers I have a 64 myself
Nice! You can certainly relate to this 66!
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩🍩☕️☕️👀😎👍 ! Morning guys ! My wife did the same thing ; my wife got me a 1976 GMC Sprint w/ 60k on it ! Your Jeep still will need love to get it back on the road !
Omg im sitting here yelling at my phone “ ITS THE SPOTLIGHT THAT BLACK SWITCH IS FOR” 😅😅😅😅
I'm glad you got #4 cyl working, it's funny seeing that eletric fp, i used one like that on my 1st karmann ghia back in the early 90's, you're way ahead of the curve with all those new parts, Christine did very good buying that jeep, all you need to do is put a machine gun in the back & you could be on Rat Patrol (60's tv show) haha
The Willys MC (M38A1) frames had a plate on rear crossmember on which to mount an MG pintle as had the MB/GPW and MC (M38), all military issue.
Civilian frames lack the mount.
Christina, ya done great,
You are not only beautiful but smart too.
Central California watching
what a fun little engine to work on, inlines are easy and fun.
That's right. Super easy!
Nice keep it coming don't stop the magic 💪 watching an learning 👀🍿 happy holidays
Woooooo💪
Great video, awesome old jeep, decent find too. Always nice to see you both having fun.
Pulling spark plugs one at a time until there is no sound/RPM change is also a very easy way to check for a dead cylinder.
Stuck open explains the popping.
Great story behind this jeep. We would love to watch as you progress with this restoration. Richard, you are certainly a worthy successor to Rex. Keep up the good work.
That is a really nice comment. Thank you very much. There will be follow-up videos on the progress soon.
A lovely story, you are good people Richard and Christina. I hope this project turns out really well! I wish you lots of luck with it because we all need a little help along the way 😊
I enjoy y’all’s videos just real folks making entertaining videos on a subject I love and we’re neighbors greetings from Lyle’s tn looking forward to the next one!
You're welcome! We love Lyles. Such a nice, scenic area.
It sounded like a lawn mower when it started ! lol Sounded much better after fixing the stuck valve.
That’s right. It is much better now.
I was saying to the TV; _shut that thing off!_ _Free that valve before you cause some serious damage!_
Great video you both keep up the great work and videos
Remember the old days when no battery had a handle on it? Someone got rich with such a simple idea.
Remember adding water to them?
That Jeep is in fantastic condition. Jeeps usually took a beating, so it is hard to find older ones that aren't beat to hell. There is a lot to work with on this one, and they are only getting more valuable as time passes. Nice find, Christina!
Congrats on getting the Jeep to run. I had sticky valves on two of my old FoMoCo projects. They had original non-rebuilt engines and had sat for decades without being run (or run much.) I'm pretty sure it was carbon that stuck the valves rather than rust, but the remedy was pretty much the same as yours. Some push rods were bent, but I bent them back into shape. I used Marvel Mystery Oil and Sea Foam to keep the valves/seats lubed and clean. I haven't had to mess with them since. Both vehicles still running great. Best Wishes.
Always had a blast in a CJ 5
Remember, If ya can't get it to loosen up, Soak it and always try tightening it first, Than go to reverse, work it back & forth as to make sure ya don't snap it off. 👍
My wife and I love you channel. I always say if it can't be fixed with a hammer ,it probably can't be fixed.
Awesome purchase, heart warming story. Great video!!!😊
Awesome find. Frame not rotted. And a bunch of new parts. Well done Christina!
Old CJ-5s are a desirable collectible amongst the Jeep community. Enjoy it!
Thanks Gary. This Jeep is already a lot of fun, even though we just got it. I hope to have it driveable soon.
@@whattherust A word of warning:
Old Jeeps sniff each other out like stray dogs. You will have more of them. They will appear in your yard and you'll sort of remember how they were acquired.
When the affliction advances to 'Flatfenders', you'll know you've been 'bit'.
Don't ask me how I know this.... (present 'daily drivers' are a stark raving hot rod 'Flattie' titled as 1946 with Kenne Bell equipped Buick 225 'Odd Fire' V6, MSD, fat headers, 4 speed with Warn OD on T90 transfer case... the other a recently acquired WW2 Willys MB with under 1,000 miles on restoration - bone stock).
Any Jeep that runs the first day you bought it is a good buy
So true.
Great video!
Please do a series of videos on the Jeep project, even if you send it out for paint and body type restorations. And Richard, remember with a 4 cylinder you always have a 25% chance of being right.
Be watching😄😄😄
NICE GOING CHRISTINA on the Jeep ! You and Richard are the perfect pair .
Great video really enjoyed
Thanks!
Thank you Terry! Your support overwhelms us! God bless and have a wonderful New Years🙂❤
Those are the best pliers ever 🏁🏁 and the smaller ones very handy
Hey guys Happy Holidays! But I have to say Christina did a marvellous job in buying that Jeep I’ve been looking for one just like that for myself and I absolutely love it again I’ve missed you two…please start cranking out more videos because you guys are seriously getting a lot more popular I have my friends watching you guys so keep up the good work and the Rustier the better thx
First, thank you for that nice comment. We appreciate you. Second, I agree rust is always better. I always love recording Richard working on a big challenge 🤣 😐😁 seriously we both love them but our full-time jobs have gotten in the way. Third, we have big news coming soon so stay tuned!
You have an oldie. Take your time with it. Those bodies come off the frame easy. Clean that frame up and rust coat it. There are aftermarket floor pans out there. Mechanically that engine sounds ok. It's a keeper.
you all seem like a lovely couple, Christina seem like a very bubbly person, who isn't just pretty but also knows her way around the vehicles kudos to you all on such a great channel. Happy Holidays
Cool video nice jeep
Hello,
You are starting a fun journey. I am also in the middle of a restoration of a 1966 cut 5 Tuxedo Park.
Thanks for the video it will be worth it in the end.
I was able to drive mine for the first time since 1995 this past summer. It was well worth the work and effort.
I had to google that name. The Tuxedo Park is a very cool Jeep! Good luck with it! You have a nice one.
@@whattherust Tuxedo Parks are rather scarce in their original form.
Awesome, best Wife ever.....the CJ stands for Civilian Jeep, the CJ5 is a civilian version of the M38A1.
Correct, and M38A1 was / is also known as Willys MD.
Christina what a wonderful purchase you did the right thing for Richard after what he went through with his health problems he's looking great and you put a lot of love and effort into doing things for Richard and Richard is so wonderful with his bag of tricks what he does is incredible you both are wonderful and Christina I love the way you talk you sound so sweet and you look so nice I like the way you command things and teach us how you use your bag of tricks God bless you all all the best to you happy holidays
Oh thank you! You get it! He had been home from the hospital about 10 days when he saw that Jeep on Facebook. The next day I just randomly thought "I need to call about that Jeep". But after I bought it I was scared to tell him🤣🤣 I was afraid he'd be mad at me🤣🤣 Thanks for watching we appreciate your support 🙏 Have a blessed New Years.
How could he be mad about that awesome jeep Christina. Glad he got it running on all 4!
@@christinarust6957 "I was afraid he'd be mad at me."
Who could look that Jeep in the face and feel anything other than affection?
She got a good one, keep it original 🙂
Thanks, that is the plan.
Good luck with your little old jeep. And you were so surprised to see that gen and regulator still operate. Made in USA.
Right on!
aww, Christina did a great purchase, a good base for a resto. :) everythign you need, a working car, spares, and a history to go with. ^^
Put "U" bolt greasable hangers for the leaf springs instead of cheap plates. Springs won't rotate and beak.
WE also had a jerry can of gas on the back end that made a good target too!LOL
ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS!
Love the Jeep! Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
Love the adorable kitty !!!!
Love the video I had a CJ7 in 1986 took the top off backed up tent and sleeping bag left Troy Ohio and drove to Daytona Beach it was a 1976 with a 304 v8 it was a great memory and you all bought back great memories keep up the great work
Glad it brought back good memories, Jerry. Thank you for watching.
What a great project! I like Jeeps but am 75, so watching is what I do. I have a 2006 Jeep which I enjoy. Not a mechanic though.
Thanks, there will be more on this Jeep coming soon!
Love old Jeeps! Had 4 CJ 7’s keep on fixing her up !
Four...very nice! Richard bought a CJ 7 a few years ago, fixed it up and sold it. Some of videos are still up 2020, 2021. He's talked about buying another one since. So...I bought him one😄. Take care.
Great video! Would enjoy seeing it fully restored. Keep up the great work.
This brings back memories. I had a 1966 Tuxedo Park cj5, and a 1963 cj5. The 1963 was pretty rough. The 66 was rougher. I rebuilt the 1966 because it was closer to what I wanted. I took it down to the frame, and replaced all brake lines, wheel cylinders, brake shoes, axle seals. I believe the lug nuts are right and left hand thread from the factory, if I remember correctly. I put in new spring and frame bushings. All axle seals, fuel lines. The fuel tank was good. I think the idea of the tank under the driver was from the war period. The driver would try not to get shot natural instinct. I modified my jeep the way I wanted it. I put a small block chevy in it and T10 trans, with twin stick transfer case. I had 4:10 gears. I was a great set up with 31in tires back in 1970s. The brakes didn't work when they got wet off road, so you will learn to use your gears to slow down. I had an unusual windshield, it was a split windshield that opened at the bottom, kind of a poor man's a/c. I put a full cage in it too. Many modifications but thats what makes it yours and think of it as clean slate. A friend made me a mahogany dash board and routed it out for gauges and glove box, the glove box door was leather with snaps. I have been thinking of getting another jeep and building another one, but the older ones are pretty bad now, but those frames where strong and better than the new ones. It looks like your starting with good bones. Make it the way you want. It sure is nice to have a wife that understands you. Enjoy your new toy, but don't shortcut when it comes to safety.
Right on Ervin. Your 66 sounds like it turned out nice. We don't have lofty goals for this one, but we do want to make it a safe around town vehicle. Thanks for watching.
Originally equipped Tux's are rather scarce.
Love the Jeep. I'm going to enjoy watching the progress. You guys do great work on your restorations.
Pretty cool Jeep.Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Very nice score Christina!!! Richard will have some fun in it Jeeps are number 1 trail rated
Between Richard's knowledge and Christina's commentary, you two are the most enjoyable car channel to watch. Thank you both for the terrific content.
Who is the blonde?
Hilarious! My dog heard the TDC whistle, jumped up and with a concerned expression was looking all around. Had to mute it, but my laughter continued,
A plain rubber tube also works. Thumb over tube, feel vacuum / pressure or lack thereof.
Great job Christina! Love the Jeep!
Great video. Can't wait to watch the progress on the jeep. Thanks.
Awesome purchase! Very cool old Jeep. Love the channel y'all. I'm always happy to see when you post a video!
Thank you Mike. We appreciate you 🙏
I had a 68 cj5 in the 70's. It was a lot of fun. I had to replace the floor boards and paint it but it looked like new when I was done. That was a good model. I'm thinking mine was 6 cyl. I can't remember for sure.
Great find !
If I remember correctly, with those old Jeeps, AMC bought the big 3’s left over parts after model change.
Amc bought Willy's in 1971 then converted to new style in e1974 cj 7 came out in 1976. Check clutch return. Spring
AMC bought the civilian automotive division of Kaiser in February of 1970. Kaiser had acquired Willys Overland's assets in 1953, forming Kaiser Jeep Corporation.
During the late Kaiser years many orphan parts were used on the larger Jeep vehicles such as Wagoneer. Oldsmobile engines, GM transmissions... .
AMC changed the CJ5 in February of 1970, giving it a longer nose to accept their own straight 6 engine. Kaiser had bought the 225 'Odd Fire' Buick V6 from GM in 1966 or 67 (Kaiser called it 'Dauntless'), AMC sold the V6 back to GM where it eventually became the 231, then 3800.
@@-oiiio-3993 yeah our jeep dealer sistered in. Win AMC. Dealer and he had tons of old nos. Parts. They dumped
You made a great buy, Richard should be very proud and treat you to a nice night out or whatever it is that you enjoy
Happy new year to y'all ❤LoveJim J&R mobile service and God Bless y'all and your critters
Very interesting 🤔 content 😁. Lov the ole Jeep.
I enjoyed that video very much and I will be following because I want to see that project finished great job guys
Much appreciated Mike. We will have another video on this Jeep very soon.
Just saw this video and I'm following now to see how it goes. I have a new-to-me Wrangler. I had my sights set on a late 60s CJ5. It sold before I could sell my truck.
I have had a couple of Wranglers myself. They are good vehicles. We will have another video of this Jeep published in the next few days.
What a great story and I can surly relate to it. We are car crazy people. You guys are fantastic and I enjoy your realistic video. Sending my comments from PA. Thank you.
Thanks for much for the comment.
Rex sounds like he was a 1:04:45 cool guy lovely people 😅
That was my first thought case it's been sitting so long.
Great story there , and good project , parts should be fine, see you in the next episode. !
Thanks Steve! We appreciate you 🙏
Great video it's something when you can watch videos of someone you don't know but after watching them it's like you get to know them God Bless and Happy New Year
Such a wonderful comment. Thank you David. Happy New Years and God Bless.
Nice video I really enjoyed this one
Thank you and I’m looking forward to the next instalment ❤
Good job Christina !
The story was great.And nice to another Keep saved
Yes Christina, you did a great purchase
Well done, Christina, for finding the Jeep and making sure the engine wasn't stuck. Well done, Richard, for getting it running and troubleshooting that dead cylinder. Heartwarming story about the previous owner -- that convertible looked great. Looking forward to more Jeep videos as you progress with it. Reminds me of Jeeps I sometimes got to drive in the Air Force in the 60s....
Thanks for the nice comment, John. More videos of this Jeep are coming soon.
Those were likely M38A1 (Willys MD), essentially this Jeep but with better springs, 24 volt waterproof electric system, and such.
Looking such much forward to see the Series with the J-Rex. It touched my heart such much to hear the story ❤️❤️
Love the Jeep.
1- they all don’t rust. Depends on where you live.
2- cross country, yes you can. Went from California to Oklahoma and back in a CJ
