Hey Ian and Jamie hope you guys are feeling better sent a present for Jamie hope you got it thanks for the update and great videos keep up the great work 👍
This has been one of the most entertaining episodes so far. Seeing Jamie turn wrenches is pretty awesome. I hope she does a lot of the work on HER jeep because she has a great teacher.
Jamie I’m so happy for you to have a project for you! Ian is the man to fix it up for you! I’m hopeful that we get some helpful insight on the process! Also thanks for the Ian-Jamie fix that I appreciate and look forward too!I had to add Ian you are so cool educating Jamie on what you both are finding!
You 2 are amazing!!!! I remember Toyota had a bellhousing that bolts up to the Small block Chevy for the Land Cruiser. But the builder got creative with this one. Jamie your Willys is beautiful!!! Ian you're a doll....I Love You 2 together. Aloha from Hawai'i, Mama Leigh ❤❤❤
Great video and I learned something new today CJ means Civilian Jeep. I would leave the body in the color and shape it is in and make sure it runs and drives safely.
Thank you! We really appreciate you supporting our channel and helping us fund the cost of these incredible builds, without our community support there could not be a channel 🙏😎😎
Keep the projects coming. Love to see them all Ian you’re not too bad on the camera either nice job Jamie you single-handedly pulled the motor out of that Jeep. 🤭
Remove all the steering and put a Saginaw steering box. It mounts on the inside of the frame behind the front bumper. Look around, I'm sure it's explained on the web. 100% improvement. If it has 9" brakes, there's kits for 11 inch brakes. That's all you need unless you put big motor then disc brakes. I've had mine 47years after new years....
Jamie __ The "Go-Devil" tag was the name of a Field Cultivating Implement that we used on our farms here in Oklahoma back in the day. It consisted of a cultivator with discs that could be set to throw dirt around the crop, or to move it away. It had a tunnel shaded cover over the row which allowed dirt to be added to the plant without damaging or covering small plants. The first ones were Horse Drawn models, and later tractor pulled. They are Antiques if you can find one, and no longer are used today.
I worked in Public Television for 18 years. Jamie's title should be like mine when I left: Producer Director Videographer Editor Sound Makeup Audio Driver Grqphics Lighting Jib operator Mechanic Leason and Mediator. It ain't easy.
This is a great digression, I'm seeing "happy wife, happy life" and it's always a bonus to share common passions in a relationship 😉 looking forward to watching team Roussel projects!
Congrats, Jamie! Great to see a new cool project for you to get into. I agree...sometimes the history and research is almost as fun as the project itself. It's also cool that Ian gets to help you along with the journey and get jnvolved with something he's never really work on before too. You should call her Jeep Louise! (I heard you say Geez Louise when you were cranking on that bolt and it popped into my head). Looking forward to seeing how your new baby progresses! -Jeff
Novak adapters has a lot of pics and literature on jeep swaps over the years. If you go back with original motor and bellhousing change the starter bushing in bellhousing before you reinstall.
Gives a new meaning to the phrase Just Everyone Elses Parts I am looking forward to seeing what you find out about the clutch T90 should be the correct transmission, with a twin stick Dana 20 transfer case IIRC
Contact Advance Adpaters they did conversions or maybe they know more about it! Love the Vids...Happy Holidays Guys..Be Safe..Be Blessed...we enjoy the ride with you.
You can replace that funky steering with a cross steer Manual Saginaw 525 steering box I That's what I had on mine ! Frame needs to be boxed in behind bumper with a mounting plate you can make yourself , make sure to get steering box with pitman arm facing to the rear ! Speedway sells tierods & drag links any size you want lt. & rt. hand threads but need special tie rod end on passenger side made for jeeps with 2 holes , one for spindle the other for drag link !
Lara the original body was either olive or a tan, but the other CJs up to 1949 had a bigger color palette… I’m thinking blue…but not quite sure yet, once it gets on its chassis the proper way, with the tires and I fire her up then I’ll know ❤ ~ Jamie
Glad to see you are going to leave the jeep in mostly original condition, and the 37 Lincoln mostly original condition, I myself was in to high end restoration’s for over 60 years doing Ferrari, Porsche, rolls Royce packards [etc] also I work for bill Cushenberry back in the day. I like what you do and the explanation that you give to help out other craftsmen getting into the trade, it’s a steep learning curve cuz one has to think outside the box. Right lol
T90 trans( Studebaker)can have a different input shaft depending on the conversion. . The v-8 conversion used the stock six input shaft ,Ofenhauser adapter, to Chevy bell housing ,Chevy clutch to t90 trans & custom pilot bushing. The t90 ,mod 19 transfer case will hold up to a stock 350 if you don’t do burnouts on the street. The 3rd members my be with 5/38 ratios
The Borg-Warner T-90 is a three-speed manual gearbox manufactured by Borg-Warner. It was used in most Willys and Kaiser-Jeep models from 1945 to 1971, as well as a number of International Harvester models. It is an improved version of the T-84 used in WWII Willys MB and Ford GPW military Jeeps. It was constructed with an iron case in both top-shift and side-shift variants. The gears are spur cut with only 2nd and 3rd gears synchronized.[1]
Oh, no! You have no idea what you have done here! I have been a fan of Ian's for years and when I saw this pop up on YT, I had to check it out. See, I have an unmolested 1951 M38 that is a Korean Conflict survivor. Not many made it home, I am told, as they were just loaded on aircraft carriers and pushed off into the Atlantic after we pulled out of Korea. Mine was, reportedly, an officer's Willys (just like Radar O'Reilly's Jeep!), He got it as Army surplus and brought it home to Nevada to be his duck hunting rig. It served in that role for about 53 years before he died and I ended up with it. It's cool and all, but I am not really in love with it and have about 9 other projects to get busy with. I have been planning to sell it, but MAYBE NOW I CANNOT! Somebody come to Sparks, Nevada and talk me out of it before I get so inspired by Ian and Jamie that I refuse to let it go! 🙂
We are just getting started with this one! Jamie has a special place in her heart for Jeeps and we have some really neat plans for this one, and just some simple customization for it, so that it is road and off road ready and in Jamie's words "kustom with a little k".
The chassis is most likely an M38A1 with it's solid mounted spring hanger at the bumper mount and the shackles at the rear. The machine gun pedestal mount on the rear crossmember by the upper shock bolts confirms this. That firewall mount brake booster sitting on it was someone's attempt to change to swinging pedals with the Toyota conversion. The T90A1 casting is the correct transmission for the A1. It still has the drive flanges on the front axle. The longer of the 2 side shifters is 2 wheel/4 wheel and the shorter is high/low. Factory axle gearing should be 5.38:1
The frame is definitely from an M38A1. The T90 is the original transmission but yours has been modified for the Toyota engine. The skid plate is original. The splines on your T90 are not original for Jeep T90. I have been working on Jeeps for 45 plus years.
I'm pretty sure it's actually a '53 . In '54 the front x member had a center mount for the grille. "53 had a hinged grille and did not have the mount in the center and neither does this frame. @@chrisbader8205
Leave the chassis the length it is, the body needs to move forward an inch or so to center the rear wheel in the arch, and the longer chassis will improve handling.

I'm thinking, your Jeep items will all be SAE nuts & bolts while the Toyota stuff will be metric. That would give you your answers as to what was an add on & what was originally Jeep. Kinda funny, too. You have an American vehicle, born from WWII with a Japanese engine!!🤔 I feel someone had a sense of humor while building this back in the day! Glad to see Jamie going to school on this one! Have fun!!😂😂
I would keep the toy engine. They are great engines and easy to rebuild. If you want some kill axles out of a cherokee for a reasonable price let me know.
I spent alot of my free time watching bad Chad but you guys are so much easier to watch 😅 love the mellow vibes I haven't seen one temper tantrum from your channel.. glad I made the change 👍 toilet time is soo much more enjoyable!! Keep up the great work 👏
@fullcustomIan the professionalism shows. I'm just a dude that likes cars. My dad restores cars for a living and I'm a full time auto detailer so for what it's worth your noticed by this guy 👍 Dad and I both watched your show on TV but I switched to your TH-cam channel because it's more Authentic
Welcome to the world of “How the hell did the grease get that far under my nails” Jamie, as Ian said it’s fun now but at the end of the build you may find not so much, but that’s ok I give you full marks for getting in there and turning wrenches on your project. And grabbing the rolling stool some may say that’s cheating, for a guy with bad knees I fully applaud your resourcefulness. Hey it’s going to be a long build in doing it right so you may as well be comfortable while working away. Like how you’re thinking of staying within the two factory colours. I’d go with the tan khaki myself but you might wanna go olive depending on how much sand you have out at the ranch. Don’t wanna lose it in the background, and stupid wind breaking the glass in the windshield of the Jeep and making a mess out of that pristine Chevy, I know Ian’s a master at taking things apart and putting it all back together Humpty Dumpty style but man that car was some beautiful. Anyway best of luck with the build
Just a thought: What about retiring the chassis and acquire a Toyota 4 wheel drive chassis from a early ( say 1986-87) Fourrunner with a 22R-E AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE SETUP. This way you don't have to straighten or cobble together anything, other than maybe shortening the chassis to fit the Jeep body, which you will do anyway. I know it's Jaime's project and I am not trying to highjack it in any way. Also like seeing husband / wife projects and how well you guys get along so well. Ian you really lucked out finding Jaime, she's one in a million.
Patrick Foster wrote a pretty good book covering 1940 - 2003. I have it and another from back when there was a Krause publications. You can find early commercials for the post war era on TH-cam. The post were marketed towards agriculture and sometimes known as the Agri Jeep. From there it went to utility, ranch and oil field work. The attachments made for it are as facinating as the Jeep itself.
Our dad owned a CJ it was our family car and his tractor to get in to the avocado groves the start of Nielsen Tree Service in Spring Valley California in 1948
The T-90 is the correct transmission and that is the correct transfer case for that vintage of jeep! I don't know what they did with the input shaft! Maybe welded the splined part of the Toyota to the jeep input shaft.
Jamie did some major research on her Willy. Great job! Then on the transmission work on that Jeep was absolutely amazing engineering. Maybe the person was an engineer by trade and wanted to hop up his stock slow Jeep? Anywhos it was pretty concealed. FYI. I am subscriber and have been watching Ian for years on all aspects of media. Keep up the awesome content you two and give dog(dogs) and treat for me!
Plenty videos about the transmission. Repair kits for that transmission are also still available. Looking forward to see what's next with the JEEP project.
I'm so impressed that you lead off with the Will-is/Will-eze debate. And the explanation of Mr. Willys name and how he pronounced it. But, I will concede to your choice since it is YOUR Jeep, Jamie. (how could I deny that smile?) Get in there and get dirty...Oh, wait. That's a WHOLE 'nuther show... LOL Love the show, been watching since the first FCG and FCI. I even went back to the OLD ones (sorry I can't remember the name of it right off) And congrats Ian for including Jamie in your builds. Like another MT show that has his own TH-cam channel, the TV ones are over so soon, It's almost disappointing. I doesn't stop me from watching though... LOL It's nearly December and look forward to the new season of FCG! And I look forward to this show everyday. Keep it up!

Good job guys this is one of the interesting videos where both you Ian & Jamie are involved in the disassembling of Jamie's Willys Jeep. Well done
Jamie you should do some wrench turning and let ian film more
That is the plan!
That's an M38A1 frame , military. The squair plate on the cross member is for a machine gun mount.
Correct.
Now that I watched the full episode. Full custom everything. She deserves it.
Input shaft looks like Toyota also I believe jeep input was course spline ?? Cheers 🥂 guys
Keep the projects coming. Love to see them all Ian you’re not too bad on the camera either nice job Jamie you single-handedly pulled the motor out of that Jeep. 🤭
Thank you!! 😂😊
Can do room on the front for a really big wrench or picnic basket

O jeep nos anos 70 era um carro popular no Brasil. Especialmente para quem morava em fazenda
❤👍👍👍👍👍 great cam wrk joani. Jeep gona be fun 😀🙃
The more you turn wrenches the more you will learn and the feeling you get knowing you helped or made that 🎉🎉🎉🎉 keep turning the wrenches Jamie
That's the plan!
Well, I think it's great for you both to share the build together . Following with interest to see the result. Cheers Michael.

Bit of automotive archeology under the hood! Plenty of room up front for a killer winch.
Check out Rover. In 1947, Maurice Wilks built the first Land Rover on a Willys frame and used aluminum WW two planes. Later the Defender.

Very cool episode, family build. Jamie it is possible Ian is a Martian !
It is most definitely possible 👽👽👽😂
The Toyota 20R was developed originally as a forklift motor. They refined it to Race hence the R. Moved on to 22R.
Jamie's totally got this 👍

The T-90 is the correct transmission and that is the correct transfer case for that vintage of jeep! I don't know what they did with the input shaft! Maybe welded the splined part of the Toyota to the jeep input shaft.
What a joy to watch Jamie in this video. An a pleasure to see Ian explain to his bride how it works! A fun video to watch. Thanks
First mistake I made with one of these is not knowing lug nuts could be left hand thread!

Wm. E. Bobb & Co.
Ian, you won the wife lottery! Jamie is great and watching you two work together is 👍
Plenty videos about the transmission. Repair kits for that transmission are also still available. Looking forward to see what's next with the JEEP project.
I'm so impressed that you lead off with the Will-is/Will-eze debate. And the explanation of Mr. Willys name and how he pronounced it. But, I will concede to your choice since it is YOUR Jeep, Jamie. (how could I deny that smile?) Get in there and get dirty...Oh, wait. That's a WHOLE 'nuther show... LOL
Love the show, been watching since the first FCG and FCI. I even went back to the OLD ones (sorry I can't remember the name of it right off) And congrats Ian for including Jamie in your builds.
Like another MT show that has his own TH-cam channel, the TV ones are over so soon, It's almost disappointing. I doesn't stop me from watching though... LOL It's nearly December and look forward to the new season of FCG!
And I look forward to this show everyday. Keep it up!
