In Royal Rangers we were taught the value of a first aid kit, I always carry one in my vehicle for when there is trouble and I may need to help someone. The first time I had to really use it, I was the one that needed it. My jeep was in a serious accident, my 20 year old airbags didn't deploy, and my seatbelt didn't work. I relaxed before the impact - I knew to do that. Last thing I remember thinking - just relax, there is nothing else left to do, don't tense up that makes it worse (broken elbows, shoulders, etc) just let the seatbelt catch you. Next thing I know I rag dolled off the steering wheel, and cut my forehead open. I turned the car off, checked myself over, I knew I was in shock because I was very aware, and felt no pain. I got out of the car grabbing first aid kit and got to safety. I opened my kit and had no idea what I was looking at. I didn't know a bandaid from a pair of scissors. Fortunately some person stopped and helped me find some gauze. I never thought I needed it for myself. A few moments later the police arrived. The police officer was amazed that I had a First Aid kit, she exclaimed: "No one ever has a First-Aid kit!" - moral of the story - don't neglect your seatbelts, don't trust 20 year old xj airbags, and always carry a First-Aid kit!
Brad, All of your videos are interesting, educational, and entertaining…but this one is next level. The information and insight from Rich and the footage provided by Magnaflow made this episode amazing. I’ll definitely be rewatching this one. Thanks for your content, Jim
Looking good! As a fire fighter and EMT, glad to see you running an extinguisher and 1st aid kit. You have to make a couple changes to the Jeep though. A black license plate and a three spoke with metal flake green rim steering wheel! 😄
That is the sickest Jeep from old that I've seen in a long time. I did however fix up a 1975 CJ5 that was the same color. I Love It. And you did exceptional work for not doing it for a living. I've been restoring for 35 years now, but you've done well... excellent video work too.
you can get plywood (rino line or carpet) for the back and have hold down brackets where you need them and then you can remove if you dont like it with out drilling holes in truck
Great to see a classic back on the road and being enjoyed! My parents still have one of those old green Coleman coolers! Definitely gonna give the Magnaflow a look into for my JK, I have a Borla on there now that I’m so-so about.
Love this project! One thing I’d have done with the headliner off- would have used rust oleum truck liner instead of rust stop. That will inherently encapsulate the rust, but also add more insulation, for both noise and heat.
All of these 'time pieces' are ones that I grew up with when we went camping from VT to Freeport ME with my father. Crazy what is old is new again ... and in fashion! Great video. Excited to see the results of your hard work, not to mention the future plans.
Well when I was a teenager I use to like hearing exhaust, now pushing 70 not so much, I prefer whisper quiet. I do really like the old camping gear, it takes me back to when I was young.......
the cats keep down the greasy kid stuff pops down! lol. i have magnaflow resinators on my 2009 hemi challenger r/t. straight back after that. very cool zero pop! loud too.
I would really like to see an update to the trail repair kit; to see what is still there and what is changed. I modeled mine after that video, with a few additions for my particular vehicle. I would also appreciate more detail as to what you carry for first aid gear. Love the retro build!
Can't believe how excited I have been to see someone else have their Jeep ready for the trail! LOL This is such a cool build, glad you stuck with the build and made it happen.
Another great episode. Curious if you’re able to leave that bottle Jack on its side or if it needs to be upright all the time? Thanks again for all the great tips!
LOL, a 76 Grand Wagoneer was my ride when 16 in 1984 and my father had it before, he HATED the stock seats and had replaced them with power seats from a Caddy that was wrecked. They were very comfortable seats, the Jeep's stock seats, no, they sucked
At 12:57 I see a York A/C Compressor with Backseat valves used for R-12. I'll bet that systems leaks and needs replacing. Let me know if you need an upgrade to R-134a, I am an Engineer that has all tools and parts to make everything for a 1970s York A/C system and make it work well. I even preserve the OEM appearance as period correct because I produce these for my other car passion, my 1974 Ferrari 246 on YT channel "Club Dino USA". A/C is not just assembling parts but understanding that filling requires the user to balance the condensor's Subcooling ability to be able to "feed" the Superheat for the evaporator. Controlling the location of the Gas-Liquid State Change is far more important that heat exchanger size. I have complete digital A/C gauges and producing tools. I would budget $2000 in parts as a conservative guess for all new parts in the system and be happy if it was far less. LMK if I can help, I am a past TR customer and am in your buyer deatils
I love rich he’s literally the exhaust guy he’s been on every single show I’ve ever watched dealing with cars so all the car guys know rich so he’s literally the EXHAUST GODFATHER!!!
I've been waiting for this video! Coleman will still service old lanterns, probably stoves too. Their price is reasonable and the fact that they still support their old products is amazing.
That was a awesome video thank you so much Brad.. I'm keeping my Cherokee XJ I have rebuilt front and rear axle and rebuilt transfercase The old vehicles are worth hanging onto. ❤❤❤ Cherokee Nation
Thank you for this video. Have been waiting patiently for Prickly Pair to get some serious TLC. Especially enjoyed MF discussing what a Catalytic Converter does. Very Interesting. ❤❤❤
Congratulations on completing the stage of your build. I’m still looking at a classic Cherokee or Wagoneer as my next tow vehicle I wanna be able to work on it myself but we’ll see how things go; there still a lot of life left in Grand Cherokee WK2.
I bet the Cherokee definitely runs better now that it can actually breathe. Dual Exhaust though more aesthetically pleasing doesn't necessarily equate to having more flow either. The Cherokee sounds amazing and has a much more modern sound now compared to that old fabracobbled exhaust system.
Love how it looks and sounds. You've put in a lot of time and some money into getting this on the road, and I can't wait to see the videos with it. Thanks, and until next time... Travel safe.
Love your prickly pear! I have my ARB compressor behind the passenger side rear panel right inside the tailgate there. It fits perfect. Just a thought for the future. Safe travels!
Congrats on Prickly 🍐 I know how frustrating/exhausting it can be to have gremlins in your pride and joy, and your patience is rewarded with an amazing rig. Side note: Your positivity and passion are intoxicating in the best way. Thank you for making amazing content.
maybe down the road you can have the seats you bought re-upholstered to match the prickly pear. also for the head and floor liner there is a spray on glue for those to ensure they hold in place
Fun episode. Thank you. I’ve got a nice MagnaFlow on my ‘77. I WILL have to find the cat you installed and try that too. I enjoy having it very original but the smell gets a bit old and you can’t cruise with the back window down. I’m motivated to fuel inject but a cat could let me enjoy keeping it original. Running it on 100LL is a definite helper. Did you amp meter bypass / delete on yours for the volt meter? Muy importante! Thanks for the fun episode. Blue skies …
hello i have a question what part number is that i would like to get it for my GMC Jimmy 91 4x4 350 tbi v8 5.7 , thank you/ cuz i checked the website and they dont have for v8 5.7
Hello! Coleman make beautiful, brand-new coolers, stoves, and lanterns, from the 1900 Collection to other vintage lines like the cooler in this video, it looks identical, is cheaper, works well, and 'It's Green!". The stove and kitchen are amazing!!!
Really dig old Jeeps. Had a '75 Wagoneer, have a '77 CJ 5. Props to what youre doing/have done with the Cherokee. But after all the emphasis on upgrades to the interior because of too many different shades of color you go with avred cooler..😮 Green man you need the green cooler. Tho those classic metal bodied coolers are not quite as good as the the newer Yetees, Rticks, etc (see what i did there) they are pretty decent units. Anyway its a cool project that an old dude like me appreciates. 👍
We had a 73 Jeep Waggoner with Quadra-Trac and a low range box with a warn 8000 winch out front. This brought a lot of memories!we actually installed a divider behind the back sear. Kind of what we have now for pets. Fast stops, etc and the gear in back becomes dangerous for the back of your head.
Great video! I have a 1973 Jeep Commando that I was thinking of adding a cat to knock down some of the smelly emissions. Was that a Redback Catalytic converter? If not do you know the brand? Thanks
That vehicle really suits you. Love that you got vintage gear for it. The camp kitchen you were gifted by your followers is incredible. The whole setup is very cool! May you enjoy awesome adventures in the Prickly Pear for many years to come. ❤
Love magnaflow as a company, I just have never liked how their straight through mufflers sound on throttle, but that's personal preference. I love the idea of the metallic cats to cut down on raw fuel smell, I am planning to do the same on my '64 fairlane! Great video!
When you decide to learn welding I recommend the Miller Millermatic 211 MIG Welder as your machine. The MIG process is easier to learn and more productive than SMAW or TIG.
HI BRAD 👋 SHE LOOKS & SOUNDS GOOD 👍 LOVE THE MODEL & BODY STYLE . CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR ADVENTURE WITH IT . BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ON YOUR ADVENTURES 🙏 THANK YOU 🙏
Looks really good. I like the old gear addition. I remember those added gas tanks. They were so you didn't have to carry gas cans. 35 years ago, many small towns didn't sell gas after 5 PM and none on Sunday.
Just remember as soon as you pack a IFAK in your vehicle nobody will get hurt again, and no matter how big you fire extinguisher is it's never big enough.
It's always good to see old iron getting saved from the crusher. Sweet old rig. A thought, m'be a sheet of plywood cut to fit belong the carpet and carriage bolts up through to mount your tie-downs? You might use some dots of adhesive to keep the plywood in place.
Hey Brad. Glad to see you continuing to press on the fire extinguisher and FA kit. You should give some consideration to upsizing the extinguisher to at least a 5 or better a 10# rather than that 2.5# unit.
I understand just wanting to get it on the road, but just taking the time to really address the rust is always the best option. Painting over rust never works and covering it with sound-damping material is just going to make a bad time for the next guy who wants to do it right. You should have removed the roof cross members and chemically removed or walnut shell blasted the rust. Yes, it would have taken some more time, but it would have been a completely correct job that would never have to be revisited again.
Why would take those super epic classic seats out?? Those are super sweet & what keeps the heritage of these rare classics.. I'd put those back in asap even if there not as comfortable as new seats.. thats what owning a classic is all about.. using it as it was originally designed.. you may as well take out the period correct cooler.. lantern & everything else including "the cool vintage camping gear".. otherwise have fun with your restomod... its a shame to see these rare trucks get ruined 😔
Great job on the interior refresh. Just FYI, either keep those original seats or sell them as they are highly sought after for FSJ guys wanting original stuff, they are not reproduced!
I'm working on a 1973 with a manual 3 speed I think it's the best jeep they ever made right now I'm trying to get the fuel pickup in the tank unclogged I don't want to drop the tank
My Grand Wagoneer is in desperate need for a new exhaust system. You have inspired me to get that done now. Hopefully, I can find a great shop like you have found.
Man i remember watching the video of you purchasing this rig and now qfter what seems to be hundreds of years it's finally ready for its maiden voyage. 🤙🏼
I always make sure to at least have two fire extinguishers at hand in my vehicle because you never know something other than your vehicle may be on fire. For example I need to replenish one of my extinguishers because a homeless man started the side of the road on fire and ran. PS I sat there on the side of the road with my extinguisher and my shovel for 30 minutes until the fire department showed up so be prepared it may take time for a response.
Really need to get my T'all on the road. Unfortunately it's got drums all around and no one makes new brakes for em. Disc conversions for the rear but nothing short of an axle swap for the front
I have a vintage Coleman steel belted ice chest that matches the color of Prickly Pear perfectly. I even have the matching water jug. The ice chest actually works better than a modern ice chest!
You have a big impact in Australia Love your work
I remember when Rich did every exhaust on Overhaulin.
TruckTyles would be the perfect solution to tie down stuff in the back. Veteran owned company as well.
Good Job Jerry? He built my Jeep love it.
In Royal Rangers we were taught the value of a first aid kit, I always carry one in my vehicle for when there is trouble and I may need to help someone.

🙋🏻♂️ outpost #1 here
Wow! Glad things turned out alright for you!
Brad,
All of your videos are interesting, educational, and entertaining…but this one is next level. The information and insight from Rich and the footage provided by Magnaflow made this episode amazing. I’ll definitely be rewatching this one.
Thanks for your content,
Jim
Thank you so much! I'm grateful for Rich's expertise and Magnaflow letting me film the process. They're a great crew.
Love the old school Jeep and having a modern technology exhaust will help it to run better than when new.
The vintage gear is so cool! I love the kitchen. Can’t believe it’s been 2 years with this!
Thank you! And yeah...crazy how time flies!
Looking good! As a fire fighter and EMT, glad to see you running an extinguisher and 1st aid kit.
You have to make a couple changes to the Jeep though. A black license plate and a three spoke with metal flake green rim steering wheel! 😄
You are my favorite entertainment channel, Hollywood could learn a few things about entertainment from you
Thank you so much! I'm not sure I'm that good, but appreciate you saying so!
That is the sickest Jeep from old that I've seen in a long time. I did however fix up a 1975 CJ5 that was the same color. I Love It. And you did exceptional work for not doing it for a living. I've been restoring for 35 years now, but you've done well... excellent video work too.
Beautiful Jeep! You deserve a big pat on the back for all the work you put into it.
I appreciate that!
you can get plywood (rino line or carpet) for the back and have hold down brackets where you need them and then you can remove if you dont like it with out drilling holes in truck
Its been journey brother! But this project is one of my favorites
Big Magnaflow fan and that new exhaust sounds superb. 🙌🏼
Great to see a classic back on the road and being enjoyed! My parents still have one of those old green Coleman coolers! Definitely gonna give the Magnaflow a look into for my JK, I have a Borla on there now that I’m so-so about.
Prickly Pear sounds great brother!
Thanks! It's been work to get here, but I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out.
Looking and sounding AWESOME!
A 589fab tire carrier would be a great fit for that rig.
Love this project! One thing I’d have done with the headliner off- would have used rust oleum truck liner instead of rust stop. That will inherently encapsulate the rust, but also add more insulation, for both noise and heat.

Watching this makes me miss my old Broncos.
That’s a very nice truck.
the cats keep down the greasy kid stuff pops down! lol. i have magnaflow resinators on my 2009 hemi challenger r/t. straight back after that. very cool zero pop! loud too.
Sweet ride, love the retro look
That sound, perfect! Love the vintage look you got going.
I would really like to see an update to the trail repair kit; to see what is still there and what is changed. I modeled mine after that video, with a few additions for my particular vehicle. I would also appreciate more detail as to what you carry for first aid gear. Love the retro build!
Beautiful rig!!
Thank you!
Sounds awesome
Awesome, that’s my style of off road vehicle, good luck 😎🤣🤩⭐️⭐️🥃
Brad, looking and sounding awesome, glad to see you bring this back to some good use.
Thank you!
Heck yeah brother 👍👍🇺🇸
Can't believe how excited I have been to see someone else have their Jeep ready for the trail! LOL This is such a cool build, glad you stuck with the build and made it happen.
I want one! Lol great video!

Where did you get the headliner from? I need one
Corpsman....How much motrin you got in that kit? haha

Tell me you're white without telling me you're white.
*Mounts large knife to driver's seat*
I love rich he’s literally the exhaust guy he’s been on every single show I’ve ever watched dealing with cars so all the car guys know rich so he’s literally the EXHAUST GODFATHER!!!
LOL! He is a great guy!
Love that green. Makes miss my 88 cherokee
Jesus this exhaust guy is the real deal. He is awesome. He needs his own show
Look up exhaustinglife…
He’s been on just about every Overhaulin episode
I've been waiting for this video! Coleman will still service old lanterns, probably stoves too. Their price is reasonable and the fact that they still support their old products is amazing.
That's ia a NICE exhaust, very clean and sounds great!
That was a awesome video thank you so much Brad..
I'm keeping my Cherokee XJ
I have rebuilt front and rear axle and rebuilt transfercase
The old vehicles are worth hanging onto. ❤❤❤ Cherokee Nation
They're a lot of work, but definitely worth hanging on to.
Thank you for this video. Have been waiting patiently for Prickly Pair to get some serious TLC. Especially enjoyed MF discussing what a Catalytic Converter does. Very Interesting. ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Rich is super knowledgeable and a great guy.
Congratulations on completing the stage of your build. I’m still looking at a classic Cherokee or Wagoneer as my next tow vehicle I wanna be able to work on it myself but we’ll see how things go; there still a lot of life left in Grand Cherokee WK2.
Love the new rumble of Prickly Pear. The Cherokee is lookin' great Brad. Hope to cross paths out on the trail. 😉✌
She does sound good!
Love this vehicle and this was a great video too. With these old classics, we just need to know their limits and accept them.
Yes we do!
I bet the Cherokee definitely runs better now that it can actually breathe. Dual Exhaust though more aesthetically pleasing doesn't necessarily equate to having more flow either. The Cherokee sounds amazing and has a much more modern sound now compared to that old fabracobbled exhaust system.
Wow congratulations how exciting loving the old vintage gear adds a sweet touch 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Love to see you out and about with your project
That mess kit brought back some memories.
Love how it looks and sounds. You've put in a lot of time and some money into getting this on the road, and I can't wait to see the videos with it. Thanks, and until next time... Travel safe.
I have use a similar type of gas stove, much newer, but same type. It was cool.
Liquid fuel goes sooo much farther. I still use my 1980's MSR G/K multi-fuel
Love your prickly pear! I have my ARB compressor behind the passenger side rear panel right inside the tailgate there. It fits perfect. Just a thought for the future. Safe travels!
Love the channel, love the jeep❤

hated to see the green go, it broke my heart, but going green would have been serious money
@@woof3598 yea, a good upholstery job is definitely costly
Always great seeing someone enjoy their project!
Fun episode. Thank you. I’ve got a nice MagnaFlow on my ‘77. I WILL have to find the cat you installed and try that too.

Thanks for the fun episode. Blue skies …
Seeing some of these old school camping items brings back memories of camping with my parents when I was young. That’s great stuff. Thank you
It's hard to own these old vehicles and not do a total restoration

That vehicle really suits you. Love that you got vintage gear for it. The camp kitchen you were gifted by your followers is incredible. The whole setup is very cool! May you enjoy awesome adventures in the Prickly Pear for many years to come. ❤
Love magnaflow as a company, I just have never liked how their straight through mufflers sound on throttle, but that's personal preference. I love the idea of the metallic cats to cut down on raw fuel smell, I am planning to do the same on my '64 fairlane! Great video!
Looks and sound great
When you decide to learn welding I recommend the Miller Millermatic 211 MIG Welder as your machine. The MIG process is easier to learn and more productive than SMAW or TIG.

Hey Brad. Glad to see you continuing to press on the fire extinguisher and FA kit. You should give some consideration to upsizing the extinguisher to at least a 5 or better a 10# rather than that 2.5# unit.

Look for a used inside spare tire mount out of a 1984-2004 Cherokee XJ, Grand Cherokee ZJ WJ.
Ii still own my Dad's '72 Wagoneer. A few engine builds and changes over the decades. But I still have to refuse offers to sell.
Great job on the interior refresh. Just FYI, either keep those original seats or sell them as they are highly sought after for FSJ guys wanting original stuff, they are not reproduced!
I'm working on a 1973 with a manual 3 speed I think it's the best jeep they ever made right now I'm trying to get the fuel pickup in the tank unclogged I don't want to drop the tank
My Grand Wagoneer is in desperate need for a new exhaust system. You have inspired me to get that done now. Hopefully, I can find a great shop like you have found.
Hi Brad I like the way you introduce improvement on your reborn jeep, its educational me too is a jeep lover. Que Tingas Un Buen Dia.
Man i remember watching the video of you purchasing this rig and now qfter what seems to be hundreds of years it's finally ready for its maiden voyage. 🤙🏼
I LOVE that camp kitchen. It's okay (for me) that it's bulky ... it's just downright cool.
Definitely one of the coolest pieces of gear I've got!
I always make sure to at least have two fire extinguishers at hand in my vehicle because you never know something other than your vehicle may be on fire. For example I need to replenish one of my extinguishers because a homeless man started the side of the road on fire and ran. PS I sat there on the side of the road with my extinguisher and my shovel for 30 minutes until the fire department showed up so be prepared it may take time for a response.
Really need to get my T'all on the road. Unfortunately it's got drums all around and no one makes new brakes for em.
Disc conversions for the rear but nothing short of an axle swap for the front
I too would love to teach myself to weld. When you take the leap, I'd love to see a video of the welding "starter kit" you decide to use.
I have a vintage Coleman steel belted ice chest that matches the color of Prickly Pear perfectly. I even have the matching water jug. The ice chest actually works better than a modern ice chest!
For securing your gear have you ever considered using one of those cross bars? That way no need for holes
So satisfying. Even from a distance. Nice job. I would for sure painted the seat bases.
I stand to salute you for your service MASTER CHIEF.🏴☠
Tie downs: for now go get a 3/4 inch plywood sheet, cut to fit, add screw in tie downs, ratchet strap everything down.
11:25 Funny enough, I found one of those old Coleman gas stoves a couple weeks ago on the side of the road. Left it there, but still, funny.
Its looking and sounds great, I've always liked that body style and as a fan of Oliver tractors I like the green and white.
