I just watched the whole entire Calamity Jane series in one sitting and it was amazing!! From start to finished, I just couldn’t stop watching. You are truly a master at what you do.
I’m still playing catch up on watching your videos so I realize this series is several years old but I have to say that CJ5 turned out great. I enjoyed watching the transformation very much. Thank you for sharing this.
I’ve watched this series about Calamity Jane about 3 times now! I’ve been watching your channel for a long time and I enjoy all of your content..but I just love seeing “breathing new life into old iron”! Keep up the great work!
Gotta respect the old metal and new! I currently have three generations of Jeep. Starting with 1968 J-3500 with a Buick 430 swap, a 1981 CJ-7 fully custom rock crawler sporting a 1986 corvette L98 TPI 383 stroker and finally a rather modified 2010 JKU. All of which command a certain amount of respect. Not limiting yourself to one generation Jeep really gives you a respect and appreciation for all Jeeps and 4x4's as a whole.
A video of putting tires on a great old Jeep ... somehow I kept watching and found myself clapping and smiling at the final result. You make the mundane worth watching ...
I love that Jeep so much, as much as I love my 2017 JK Willys, I am glad I do not have to chose between them! This is the Jeep I was dreaming of when I was a young kid, maybe one day!
Nice clean 74 CJ. I've had my 73 CJ for 50 yrs. now (original owner) & restored it around the turn of the century. I managed to locate some OEM Renegade aluminum wheels which are 7" wide & I run 33x9.50 BFG ATs. Question: I noticed you replaced your BFGs with 31x10.50 Coops. Are your slot wheels 7" or 8" wide? I always thought the rule of thumb was a tire no wider than 2" over the rim width.....
I love that ol girl my brother bought his wife a 78 cj5 for her wedding gift it needs as much work if not a little bit more as Jane did but he won’t just watch these videos and start
Those wheels look great! Are they Ansen Sprints? Those were popular back in the late 60's - 70's. I still have a set on my 1970 Z28. Always loved that design, simple and stylish! lol
Could be. All I know is that they are what she came with from the factory. They were a part of the 1974 CJ-5 Renegade package. Took a lot of elbow grease to get them looking good again.
I love your CJ-5! I have a '66 CJ-5A. Not nearly as nice as yours. Do you know what is different on the tubs compared to your generation CJ-5 and the ones from the 60s? Poison Spyder only makes the sliders for 1976-1986. Did they change the body that much that they wont fit on a 60s CJ-5?I know the exhaust is different. Mine comes out right in front of the rear tires.
Early CJ-5's like what you have are shorter. If I recall, from the tub to the front of the fenders is something like 4" shorter. This is why their rocker guards will not work. There are other companies that do make rocker guards that would fit though.
@@wayalife I just bought a 79 CJ5… overall it’s in good shape, just looking to clean her up a bit. Do you have an opinion on low back seats and would you suggest any companies to buy those from. I’m looking for comfort on those. :). My jeep is just a weekend cruiser with the family.
Well, not original paint per se but original factory color for sure. It's called Jetset Blue Metallic and it is the exact color she was painted when new.
Quick question How do your defroster vents work ours have never worked very well I believe it’s due to the internal ducting in the windshield were you able to improve on airflow in your Jeep
Not that you have ever thought of selling Jane, but have you ever looked up her value on NADA. I think you will feel well rewarded for you efforts. Might even make you think twice about Wheeling her, know it has me.
I just watched the whole entire Calamity Jane series in one sitting and it was amazing!! From start to finished, I just couldn’t stop watching. You are truly a master at what you do.
You're far too kind but thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the series.
Just found you and I love Jane. Working my way (backwards, apparently) through your build. Any current videos?

I don't blame you for just taking the tires over. You love your jeeps as much as me. I know the feeling.
You have become my favorite jeep channel to watch! Great videos, great content, and BEAUTIFUL jeeps!
LOL!! Thank you - we'd be grateful if you could tell your friends about it :)
Back in the 70's Armstrong Trutracs were best all around 2.5 psi at Pismo running bowls etc

That CJ is really clean! Looks like you have been into Jeeps and the Jeep lifestyle for quite some time. Pretty awesome!
Thank you and yes, been into Jeep and the Jeep lifestyle for a very long time. You could say, it's a wayalife ;)
My man, you do great work! I thoroughly enjoyed watching the build of Jane... she’s absolutely gorgeous
Thank you, we really do appreciate it :)
Your filming is getting better and better and i really enjoy the videos , i wait for them all the time 👍👍
Why thank you, you're too kind and we really do appreciate it.
She looks absolutely stunning, amazing build!
Thank you :)
Thanks for sharing all of these videos! I've really enjoyed them...and I've subscribed! Thanks again.
Love Calamity Jane...I need to get back on my 75 CJ5 Levi Edition....I have the original mags for mine too, they just need a little TLC.
Awesome! So cool that you have a Levi Edition.
@@wayalife I can't remember, but I may have posted it on Wayalife Forum.
Calamity Jane videos introduced me to wayalife. LOVE your videos, love your old stuff and you're a great spokes person for your company.
Thank you. We really do appreciate it.
Oh Eddie that truck reminds me of my 66 wagoneer, but mine was a 3speed manual on the column, I miss that jeep 8/
Awesome job on this!
Thank you! Cheers!
That cj is soo cool. It looks like it came straight outta the late 70’s
Actually, mid-70's would be more accurate :)
I know just saying that style with the dish mags and all. I would totally rock that.
Sweet looking ride! If she was mine, I wouldn't want anyone else driving her either.
Thank you. It took a lot of blood sweat and tears to get her looking this good. I'd kill me if someone other than me did any damage to her.
When I took my '70 CJ5 to Discount Tire to mount new tires, they had me drive the jeep into and out of the bay. They didn't want to risk driving it.
She is looking good,👍and that jeep truck looks awesome!!!!
Thank you :)
Jane is gorgeous! Excellent work!
Scott
Thank you :)
@@wayalife You have serious restoration skills Eddie! Thanks for bringing that CJ back to life.
They do make a big difference. She looks great
Funny how something as simple as tires can make such a difference but I'd have to agree :)
Love this Jane series
Awesome, so glad to hear it :)
CJ looks great. Bring her along with the JL for a ride and compare old vs. new. Nothing crazy just saying. Great photo/video op.
That could be fun :)
wow are those old tires for real!? they look brand new!!!
LOL!! Yup, they were basically new tires. The previous owner installed them but never drove the Jeep.
I had a set of BF Goodrich AT's on my old CJ5 for over 25 years and they looked practically new when I finally replaced them lol.
drop dead gorgeous jeep
Thank you :)
Nice Edits. I love the Jeep Keychain.
Thank you :)
You have no idea how badly I want that J2000! Would love to get one of those or a 1977 Ford F250 Ranger for a daily truck!
LOL!! They really are sweet trucks.
I always wanted and still do a Honcho
Those couple hits on your JL on the Rubicon made my belly hurt!

They are 7" but they still worked. Back in the day, we called this the poor mans beadlock.
I was just wondering on the last video that it's been awhile since we heard from Jane. Seems she heard my thoughts. She look great.
LOL!! Our ears must have been burning :)
I love that ol girl my brother bought his wife a 78 cj5 for her wedding gift it needs as much work if not a little bit more as Jane did but he won’t just watch these videos and start
There's nothing easy about restoring old iron but it sure is rewarding.
Nice sharp Jeep sir
Thanks 👍
A calamity no more... the tires look great!
Definitely! :)
Jane looking good great job.
Thank you :)
That answers my truck question from the last video!
LOL!! Sorry, must have missed your previous comment. 1972 J-2000 :)
Nice CJ5. You're killing me with the overly long front u-bolts though. I had a '74 CJ5 that I got stuck because the u-bolts we're hanging down.
LOL!! They're what came with the new leaf springs.
Those wheels look great! Are they Ansen Sprints? Those were popular back in the late 60's - 70's. I still have a set on my 1970 Z28. Always loved that design, simple and stylish! lol

Thank you very much nice little Jeep
Glad you enjoyed the video and like our Jeep :)
Great video, thank you!
Glad you liked it :)
Some of my favorite TH-cam was watching that jeeps restoration. Love seeing it! Take her out in the rocks!
LOL!! We'd love to. Just gotta get over the idea of scratching her up LOL

Awesome, good knowledge to know. Thanks for the reply.
I love my cooper stt pros!
Yup, that's why we had to get a set for Jane :)
Wayoflife .. What size tires n what air pressure did you set them at.?? Thanks in advance. Love Jane. Great job.!! J-20.!!! Rusty.!?? 🙂😎
What size lift does Jane have and did you use any spacers so the tires wouldn't rub?
2" lift and we are not running spacers. There was minor rub at a full turn but I adjusted the steer stops to help prevent it.

Bestop makes a set that's pretty nice.
Jane looks really nice!
Thanks, we appreciate it :)
I love the J2000
Me too :)
Beautiful Jeep man
Thank you :)
Gorgeous.
Lets see a garage tour
jane is looking good
Thank you :)
Hell of a collection, Eddie! Is that Jane's original paint? Beautiful!
Well, not original paint per se but original factory color for sure. It's called Jetset Blue Metallic and it is the exact color she was painted when new.
Outstanding!!!!!
Thank you, we appreciate it :)
Be nice to have the resources to restore my CJ5 but nice to enjoy watching yours.
What year is the Jeep Truck? I grew up with my dad driving one. 69 or 70. Something like that. The smell of the old Jeeps :)
1972 J-2000 :)
Sorry one more question. Does Rusty go off road? We used the Jeep for the snow in the Late 70's to early 80's Thanks Eddie!
We'll take him on dirt if that's what you mean but we don't really do anything like rock crawl in him.
What a beauty she is. God I love your collection.
Thank you :)
Awesome jeep
Thank you :)
New Tires?? Are you planning on taking her off road? It would be awesome to see videos of Jane crawling over some rocks!!
I'm hoping to sometime :)
Jane is purrrrdy!
Thank you :)
My loyalties lie with BFGoodrich, but I do wanna give those a Coopers a spin. No pun intended...
BFG makes a good tire and we're still running a set on Rusty :)
Jane is a heart breaker for sure ! 😉
LOL!! She is a pretty Jeep :)
Where did you buy the decals and emblems?
It's been a while but some of it can be still found on eBay
Did Jane get a lift kit? Amazing work.
She is running a Rancho 2" lift.
Got to love the old CJ’s
Mine is a little newer. 1975
All original not restored Levi Edition
Second owner one family
Awesome!
Quick question
How do your defroster vents work ours have never worked very well I believe it’s due to the internal ducting in the windshield were you able to improve on airflow in your Jeep
As you'll see in one of the other episodes, I replaced the hoses and crumbling paper duct and it helped.
Wayalife must have missed that one
Thanks
Not that you have ever thought of selling Jane, but have you ever looked up her value on NADA. I think you will feel well rewarded for you efforts. Might even make you think twice about Wheeling her, know it has me.
Them old tires were new.. 🤔🤣 .. perhaps you need to take the Jeep to a real offroad adventure as you have with the new Jeep. Cool Jeep 🙂🤙
Please do a video on your pickup
Is that the exact factory color
As a matter of fact, it is. Jetset Blue Metallic :)
What size sst pro did she get?
31x10.50
I'll keep it simple...
...drool. 😎👍
LOL!! Thanks :)
what year and model Jeep Truck is that??!!
Rusty is a 1972 Jeep J-2000 :)
Hey, I have the same key chain!
Awesome good morning
I would take that CJ5 over a newer Jeep any day. Its beautiful
I need this guy's money.
Nice Rat Tail!!
LOL - It's a little weird but I suppose I should be flattered that a guy is actually checking me out and commenting on my hair.
Nice vid. Cheap excuse for running that old Jeep though.
Old ?!
帅
I've never imagine I could say these about one of your videos but I didn't like at all your video/commercial of the cooper tires
LOL!! Umm, okay.
