Not everyone treats Jeeps like you just did! lol I swear when you hooked the strap to the bumper guide . It was not going to hold! Those studs got jerk out from the fall from 8 feet! Why you want to blame someone else! Come on Man! Lol
@@patrickwhitehead67 can’t call him crash, call him stupid for him to do it again and not put stands under it. I guess showing off what his crane will do? Who knows, but dumb!
DP, here is a Vietnam jeep story for you. This is from a neighbor and fellow veteran, a SeaBee, that was part of the caper. Sadly, he died from the effects of Agent Orange over 2 decades ago despite 2 heart transplants. Both happened on Veteran's Day 7 years apart. His SeaBee group was working on a project out in the field. Their CO had his jeep hit a mine. The only thing saved was the Mustang bucket seat. The CO had a bad back and that seat was the only way he felt comfortable in a jeep. My friend and his buddy was at Danang to pick up bridging timbers. The night before leaving Danang for their base, they got loaded at the NCO Club. Staggering back to quarters, they spotted a new jeep at the Officer's Club with a General's flag on it. Yup, they took it. They took the jeep and their 5 ton truck to a back part of the base. They unloaded the bridge timbers and figured a way to drive the jeep into the bed of the 5 ton. Then they reloaded the bridge timbers in such a way the jeep couldn't be seen. They reparked the 5 ton for the convoy. He had no memory of how they pulled that off. The next morning, hungover, they drove the 5 ton out the gate of Danang in convoy while the base was on lock down as the military police were looking everywhere for the missing jeep. Once back at base, the Mustang seat was installed and serial numbers repainted, they presented the new jeep to their CO. I don't think he really dared to ask about the how.
@@paulprigge1209 anything could have happened. It could have caught fire. He could have crashed it on the highway , he could have rolled it over on a Jeep trail out in the woods. Don't be such an ass.
@@paulprigge1209 no, but anyone with a brain would know that bumper guard wasn’t going to hold it, or wasn’t made to put that much weight on it. No reason to even stand the jeep up in air. Then put it online for OSHA to see?
@@PaulMSabol I know Mike did it for content and comments, but why after it just fell ,would you get back under it without stands or why even lift up in that position. Use the crane to get it high enough to block it up high! I used to really enjoy this channel, but putting things out there like this, might get someone hurt that doesn’t realize how dangerous it was, because they just laughed it off and did it again! Unbelievable what he will do for content. The more comments is all Mike cares about now days! Not worth it.
The Jeep fell because of the bolts Commonwealth or Metallurgy of the front bumper not properly being fastened... Good thing he wasn't under it and nobody got hurt! Maybe it's my OCD but I think I would have power washed it beforehand and or power washing it now 😅
My Dad was in the Air Force during Vietnam and they had a jeep on Base and the rear end went out. The Marines were stationed right next to them and one night the Marines jeep mysteriously had a rear end failure and my Dad's jeep started driving just fine! 😂 I had forgotten about that story until I saw yours.😁
I was in the air force. Our TV quit.. in yhe barrack. And we needed new pool ques. We organized a trading party one night. Traded off TV and pool sticks. It helps avoid paper work.
You made my heart stop. As the car raised up, I kept wondering if you were going to put blocks under when wham. Oh Lord, Mike, I am so glad you're okay and I'm glad you weren't alone. As a jeep owner, I was fascinated by what you were doing (ours is 2017 and not army surplus). Thanks for sharing, Mike. Just please be safe.
While you were raising the jeep, I thought it looked sketchy yanking on that muffler pipe bumper... Then BAM!!! Glad you guys are not injured. Geez Louise!!!
As you were picking up the front l kept thinking, l hope he puts some kind of jack stands under it. I’ve seen y’all work on vehicles with just the air lift holding it up. Anytime you crawl under whatever you’re working on be sure there is something that you can put under it so it cannot fall completely flat on the concrete. I worked for a mechanic when I was just starting out and a car fell off the jack and smashed his head. He lived like a vegetable the rest of his life, just to save a minute.
My grandfather had 3 jeeps 2 1942 models and 1 1944 model. They are in my opinion the best Jeep ever made. As a youngster I learned to drive standard on the ranch in them. The abuse those things could take and the situations you could in to and get out of was just insane. They were also extremely easy to fix. Unfortunately we sold them when we sold the ranch several years ago.
Somebody may have already commented this, but from my experience with older jeeps like that, the wrong handed studs on the wheels, that MBTS was talking about, are true to form. Usually like on a DANA rearend, the left side is left hand threaded and the right-side, right-hand threads. But if it came from Louisiana, where I was born, raised and still live, there ain't no telling what you are going to find on it! sometimes we redrill and tap, because we can't find any other bolts!! Keep the videos coming and thankfully you weren't hurt!
And a whole lot easier than the wash rack I used to Kuwait in 2004 to wash under our HumVees and trailers to pass USDA inspection to bring them home. YUCK!
Mister Mike, Thank You for your video about your Dad. That jeep you are fixing was built, partially, by my Dad, Murdock, and Others in the Press Shop at Wyllis Overland in Toledo. COOL! Somewheres I have a picture from those days and will try to find it for you.
Back in the late 70's I was serving on a sub in engineering. A bunch of the other guys had this club that involved those jeeps. On our off time, which was 95 days after a 105 day on schedule, they would take their jeeps to some woods near New London. Then they would play hide and seek, with the jeeps. Skitch, an electrician, would hoist his jeep up into a tree, and laugh as all of the other guys were looking for him. I don't recommend this. But their stories were funny, they often got stuck in the mud, hoping the 5th wheel would get them out. I think your jeep might have belonged to one of them. He was very abusive to his CJ. They got back at Skitch with a honking big capacitor. They asked him what it was and waited till he discovered 500 volts.
The reverse thread on the left rear used to be very common. It was done that way to keep them from backing off. With a proper tightening sequence and torque they don't back off anyway.
Glad that you didn't get hurt. About halfway through the video, I remembered something that was occasionally repeated on a job where me & some guys worked. If they started horse-playing, my buddy (who kinda reminds me of Aaron), would try to warn them by saying "It's all fun & games until someone gets hurt".
Wasn’t expecting that sure you weren’t either real glad no one was hurt in the making of this video but sure made for a great video couldn’t help my self from laughing wow 👍💋😂🇨🇦
😮 I'm not going to say anything. DP, you knew better. Tearing the Jeep up and making it right. Some good laughs. Take care, guys 😊 Thank you for sharing 👍 👌
Just because you work on lawnmowers with the CRANE doesn't mean you should on the jeep!!! People just mad cause they don't have an overhead crane lift. ❤❤❤
I was fortunate. I had two old jeeps while in the Army. One at Ft Hood and one in Germany. Both had good and strong drive trains. Of course seals and starters and things like that were a constant pain in the butt. But at least they were small and easy to work on. Both saw plenty of off road travel and were great little machines.
You guys have a lot of faith in that overhead and the straps you’re using.. I’m glad for you that the bumper broke when it did.. what if you’d been into the transmission removal when she gave way.. I like your videos, wouldn’t want anything to happen to either of you.. like you said, famous last words.. that ain’t going nowhere! Lol
@7:00 I was "Cringing" that this could have happened, whilst you where actually underneath the Polaris Range... Please, please put some kind of catch system in-place if you lift a vehicle like that again!
I've been watching you two for awhile now and have always wanted to comment, but it's difficult to do when watching it through an app on my TV. LOVE your videos and look forward to watching 3 or 4 every week on my days off. Have to say something about both of you being under that jeep after it already dropped once. If I'd had a piece of coal up my behind, I'd now have a 5 karat diamond to sell lol! Use a chain next time please. I think I aged 10 yrs watching this vid! If I ever make it out to Indiana I'd love to come spend a day with you. I'll make myself useful. Consider it free labor! Please keep making videos and doing what you do. You strike me as a very genuine person and one your community is lucky to have. Love you guys....
You talk about losing your Dad to a dozer accident. Think about Gunner talking about his father getting killed for some YT comments. I get it but sometimes,DAMN guys, safety first.
Mike that scared the crap out of me I know it did you to now look what you did a lot more work now be careful be safe love you guys. Have a nice weekend
Wowwww what a way to start a video with a bang, Jeep's are so simple to work on and fun to run around in. but I wouldn't want to run them above 55 MPH the Independent suspension can get really iffy at high speeds. but they are fun to play with. Keep up the good work Mike.
This would have been a good episode of your WILL IT START lol . I learned how to drive on the same year jeep as this one. Brought back memories of my dad teaching me. Funny memory was me asking my dad how to stop it, because there were no brakes on it either. So i parked it between 2 small trees with the mirrors. Thanks for those great memories💙
My favorite statement, "We just don't have time to work on those things"! Dirt Perfect, where we have enough time to destroy parts on our vehicles, but need to spend most of our time working to make the needed money to pay someone to repair the parts we destroy.
Yup , also fine thread bolts it's a military trade mark , LOL and the military trailer socket next to the tailgate. , plus the right and left hand wheel studs . Diamond in the rough . needs a big time C&C 0rder
I used to work on that type of jeep in the Army in the 80’s and I used to drop the tranny by hand with one other person. Yes they are small. DP that was a great heart check when it fell!
Now you got it up like that. You ought to spray spray the underneath down, clean and clean it up and then put some on recoding. Or some kind under that'll make that jeep stay last even longer
oops bounce check, fail. i thing you should remove the fount one to go for the trifecta. clint may have some stuff for you too. good vid, get her fixed
My first reaction was😬😬😬😬😬😬😬 when the Jeep came down, first thought, nobody was hurt, then well, trans job just a whole lot more involved. Be careful gentlemen, we only get to go around once on spaceship Earth. Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching.
Do yourselves a favor when you put it back together. Put the bellhousing up first, the transmission will line up and go in much easier. You and Aaron can put the trans and transfer case up separately bare handed.
I reckon you need a hotline to Clint’s C&C Jeep spares department
Thought I was watching Camarata there for a second.
You beat me to that statement.
Truth!
I'd guess Andrew would have flipped it on it's side with an excavator.
Are you saying that was an impetuous and unadvisable move? 😂
@@dansbrown1313 this front bumper broke for no reason
You know Clint is having a good laugh watching this video. He’s probably making a mental parts list for you as you go lol.
I think so too !
And making room for more of Mike's money. ~grinz~
Uncle Scott come watch this
You guys are playing with fire. Worked on the Ranger and now the Jeep without a stand underneath. Stay safe lads.
we always think it won't happen to me.
It wouldn’t have happen to you, if you hadn’t been playing! lol why would you want the Jeep straight up and down for anyway? Oh You Tube?

The acronym for steal is: Strategic Transfer Equipment Alternate Location.
Happens all the time, and nobody knows who did it, or how they did it.
DAMN! I was thinking that something like that was going to happen when you was lifting the Jeep like that!
Is that because you read the title first? Lol! No offense Meant but we Did know something was gonna happen during the video. Lol

That looks like a 1954 M38-A1 with the correct finders.
What I was thinking as a 3 and 3b the body tapers in and those fenders will not even fit
I like it when you two pick on each other it makes the video so
much better ! Mark from Ontario Canada.
That Jeep looks like it would be a good frame up winter rebuild for Gunner's first vehicle.
YOU DAMN NEAR CAME OUT OF YOUR CROCS! 😂😂😂
At least they were Steel Toed Crocs!
Mike every one I know who pulls their transmission, just removed the Tub on the old army style Jeeps, and it gives them full access to everything
The engineers never imagined anyone would repair a jeep swinging in the air like that 🤩😳😝
What a great project vehicle! Great find! Thanks for sharing!
That escalated quickly, lol.
I gotta tell ya, the pucker factor on this video was extteme!!! 😁✌
Nice moves, getting out of the way of that falling jeep. When they rebuild that axle, make sure they put a locker in it.
1. Not as bad as Brian Blocks radial drill press drop.
2. You did save the front bumper
3. Thankfully nobody was under.
@@jackgreen412 but after all that they are still working under it without any safety in place! Duh! You Tube isn’t worth that risk!

it's a very good thing that anybody was working under it previously. when it was saying no it meant no.
That's a helluva way to check a front end, but it works I suppose... lol.
That's not a cj3. It's a military M38A1. The hood and fenders are correct. Basically the military version of a cj5.
Us Jeepster call the military jeep MJ, and civilian jeep CJ, yesterday jeep YJ, today jeep TJ and extreme jeep XJ ( Rubicon )
Yup , also fine thread bolts it's a military trade mark , LOL and the military trailer socket next to the tailgate. , plus the right and left hand wheel studs . Diamond in the rough . needs a big time C&C 0rder
Absolutely an M38A1. And that is the original front end. Pretty sure you baited us into commenting by purposely misstating what the Jeep is.
I used to work on that type of jeep in the Army in the 80’s and I used to drop the tranny by hand with one other person. Yes they are small. DP that was a great heart check when it fell!
Aaron I thought the same thing just before you said I didn’t weld that.Clint we need some jeep parts.
I hope you leaned a lesson from that I am certain your family needs you in their lives more than you need an old rust bucket stay safe please!
At least you found the week spot when you dropped it. Lucky nobody got hurt. Cool little Jeep.
Oh man 😮!!
I was cringing when it was getting airborne.
Thankfully, no one was under it.
Now you got it up like that. You ought to spray spray the underneath down, clean and clean it up and then put some on recoding. Or some kind under that'll make that jeep stay last even longer
Started watching this thinking..”I wonder what happened” then the up..up..up..up on the crane and then right before it fell I figured it out!
The 6 foot drop is what happened Mike 😂😂😂😂
nope the sudden stop at the bottom is what happen
@@Loan--Wolf nope it was the second bounce that did er in!!
@@swfla09 didn't help for shure

DP at no time was that jeep ment to survive a drop like that. Lucky that was the only thing that broke.😂
I think they will find more damage. May as well send the front axle out too.
I almost couldn't watch this after seeing the thumb nail! And then...🤦 Oh my gosh!😲 You never fail in the content! Be safe you two❤
Trans is really easy to rebuild. Probably needs a second gear and synchronizer. Use GL4 gear lube because of the brass parts.
oops bounce check, fail. i thing you should remove the fount one to go for the trifecta. clint may have some stuff for you too. good vid, get her fixed
