I'm just a guy who bought a basket case Jeep that may or may not ever run reliably again. I don't know if this channel will be instructional, more blog than instruction, or a compilation of failures. But like and subscribe, you'll see me run through a vintage Jeep restoration the wrong way! Maybe you'll learn a thing or two along the way.
I'll also share a few other projects that I get into as the channel grows. I like making rusty things usable again.

So I Bought the "Meme Toolbox" from Harbor Freight...
I'd read about these online and seen some of the Black Friday Sale controversy where people were buying them up and reselling them for ridiculous prices, then they got pulled from stores, etc. I had seen pictures of them but I guess I didn't have a real concept of their true size in my head, other than that it was a "mini toolbox". I figured that I couldn't go wrong with having more tool storage in the garage (seeing as though viewers often remind me that my workbench is extremely messy).
It turns out... This toolbox is a meme for a reason. It's cool, don't get me wrong, but I found its utility to be somewhat limited in my garage. But for like $17... it is kinda cool. Just not for the gar...

1948 CJ2A Jeep Cold Start
Просмотров 31021 день назад
It's January of 2025 in Arkansas, and we received an uncommon amount of snow accumulation (~8-9 in). With it being this cold, I thought it might be fun to try to get the Jeep started up to charge the battery a little. The battery was too low to get it going on the first attempt. It eventually started after an extra day of charging the battery, but I ran into a strange presentation of what turne...
US General Series 3 56" Tool Chest Review - One Year Later

I picked up a proper tool chest from Harbor Freight as a birthday present to myself last year to help force me to get better organized. It was one of the new US General Series 3 56" rolling chests. It took me awhile to sort through the clutter and collect my collect my tools from all corners of the garage but it helped me be more organized and made me stop wasting time hunting for tools by actu...
Vintage Sears Manual Lockout Hub Restoration
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.2 месяца назад
These cool old circa 1970s Sears 10 spline hubs came with a basket case Dana 25 front axle that I'm working on rebuilding. These and many like them were aftermarket for Willys Jeeps. From what I understand, these should be basically the same on the inside as many of the others from the era that have a knob on the hub, such as Selectro, Mile Marker, Perfect Circle, Free Lock, 4 Wheel Drive, perh...
"Abandoned" Dana 25 Axle - Part 2 - Cleanup

Part 1 if you missed it: ruclips.net/video/_7Uv1unP0lQ/видео.html The teardown and cleanup of the basket case abandoned Dana 25 front axle continues. I haven't had a lot of free time in the past month but I've been cleaning and degreasing things here and there, ordering parts, finding more that needs work, then ordering more parts. As expected, the ring and pinion are pretty well shot. The spid...
1948 CJ2A "Top Speed" Run (It's Not Fast)
Просмотров 4062 месяца назад
I thought it would be nice to get the Jeep out of the garage for Veterans Day and drive around a little. The engine is finally dialed in to "runs like a sewing machine" status. I found myself on a main road so I tried to get the Jeep up to its top speed. It's a Willys Jeep so 0-60 is not really possible without a tail wind, a downhill road, an overdrive, or a transmission swap. 0-45ish? Takes a...
Dana 25 Scrap Differential Cover into Wall Art
Просмотров 5273 месяца назад
While working on my second basket case axle project, I found that the differential cover for the Dana 25 front axle was pretty well rotted away and not salvageable. It had lunar surface levels of rust pitting and craters, even worse than the Dana 41 differential cover that I had previously deemed scrap and put up on the wall in my "snarky" corner of stuff. Since I lack a welder in the garage an...

If you missed the video a year and a half ago where I got the project axles, here's the "origin story" of this one: ruclips.net/video/VbSgK6V8Big/видео.html After a year of sitting in the back of the garage, (and some strangely unhappy noises coming from my current front axle), I decided that it was time to take a look at the basket case axle and see what was left and what it might take to reco...
Ep. 88: Driveshaft Misadventures and Swap Meet
Просмотров 7183 месяца назад
The rear driveshaft of the 1948 CJ2A Jeep was recently found to have been bent for who knows how long. With a freshly rebuilt rear axle just installed and a transfer case with only 150 miles on it, I wanted to make sure that there was no undue stress being added to the drivetrain. Unfortunately, a simple driveshaft swap turned out easier said than done. Big surprise, parts availability and corr...
Ep. 87: Dana 41 Rear Axle Post-Mortem
Просмотров 2704 месяца назад
The weather was great so I decided to get out in the garage and tear down the old Dana 41 axle that was just pulled out from under the Jeep a couple of videos ago. It was time to find out why it was so loud and was getting even louder towards the end. It was about what you would expect. It was a tired, worn out axle with worn out, pitted, brinelled bearings and races, plenty of rust flakes floa...
Ep. 86: First Drive After Rear Axle Swap and Suspension Overhaul
Просмотров 2334 месяца назад
It's finally time to break in the new ring and pinion. I decided to repeat the drive to a local park because the distance and speed required matched up pretty well with what I needed to do the first break in and real drive of the new suspension and rear axle. (But I did not repeat the 30 minutes of video this time.) The short version is that it's... different. Better in some ways, but unchanged...
Ep. 85: Suspension Overhaul and Rear Axle Swap
Просмотров 2154 месяца назад
At long last, the time has come to swap out the tired Dana 41 rear axle with the one I spent a couple of months working on earlier this year. The old axle was making some increasingly unhappy noises and it was just time to retire it for now. Since I had to loosen suspension anyways, it was a good time to install the suspension overhaul that has been sitting in my living room for a year and a ha...

It's always interesting to see how people set up their box. It sounds like you and I both got the 56" in Jan 2024, and I've really enjoyed mine. I think adding the drawer unit on the side is a better use of $$ than going to the full-monty price of the 72". I got the hutch and really love it. I'm actually picking up the 22" end locker today... 🙂
Cute little guy.
I gave three of these away with guft cards for HF in them.. great gifts
I could use that for my pinewood derby tools
Man, just that comment brings back some memories. I haven't done pinewood derby since boy scouts circa 1995? Been a minute.
It’s a MINI tool box. Not a “Meme” toolbox.
If you've ever been on reddit, the mini toolbox is definitely becoming a meme.
They are perfect for bathroom stuff, toothbrush comb, razors etc
They are a joke can't get them. Would make a nice jewelry box.
It's wild because there are two pallets of them at one of my local Harbor Freights last I checked. Some markets don't have the demand.
Wait are you Jonathan Frakes? LOL JJ Although You do look like him
I've been known to perform the Riker Maneuver a couple of times.
i gave some as gifts to young relatives to interest them in some way....FYI i have literally NOT SEEN ANY TYPE OF MEME IN ANY WAY OF ANY OF THESE BOXES...anywhere...ever
I've seen the memes on reddit. Mostly about how they're almost mythical in that they're never in stock, and smaller than expected.
@@SunkCostGarage OH ok, i only use reddit for porn, aaand so on
I used mine to put a spare set of sockets, a ratchet and a few extension sockets. I put it in my truck. Never know when you will need to pull a battery or change something while traveling. I need to do this 2 more times for my other vehicles as well.
It is a tiny one for sure
Its not tiny. Its average and has a great personality
Would be good for markers and pens/pencils. Not practical for my garage though lol.
I think if it had handles, it would be better. I might put all the end mills back somewhere else and put it on my desk to do just that: hold markers, pens, and pencils.
@SunkCostGarage I couldn't find one around my area. I'm still looking.
yours looks like mine looked when i got it....
Damn I and thought I had some crap in my garage and the dead fluoro to boot, yep one day I'll upgrade to LED's and perhaps clean out the G.
Your Jeep is a happy ol chap, to start and run that well in the cold weather. When they sit the carb bowl tends to dry off, so it does take quite some cranking to start. Thats why the fuel pump with a lever comes in handy to prime the carb.
It behaves like mine when cold. Difference is, im running a Solex carb. If it sits too long, the fuel goes away (evaporates?). I have to crank for a good 20 seconds to get it to fire
I like watching your videos..... I too am working on an old cj2a mine is 48.... Please follow Huffy turns a wrench on youtube....
Thanks! I'll check out your channel.
@@SunkCostGarage Thank you my friend!! i have really enjoyed following your build!
Happy new year. Sounds very nice when idling. You have come long ways from when you started
Happy new year! I appreciate the kind words. I really have come a long way. I honestly wish I had any kind of space for another Jeep project because I could really get through the basics much faster than I did with this one, having to stumble through all the basics and learn everything along the way. There's a Ford GPW for sale relatively close that's in my price range but I just don't have space for it...
Looks like you broke the latch
The longer ones are two pieces, just clicks back together. Further evidence that it just feels cheap though.
Love me some organization. Truth is you probably can’t build cabinets today for what you can buy it for at these specialty tool stores.
I have the same box same color. It's worked out fine for me. It's about 5-6 years old the gen2 It's no tool truck box but I'd probably buy it again if i need another one. Happy new year
Really well done🎉🎉

buenas noches me gusta ver los comentarios de los jiip willis Yo soy de sesenta y nueve nasi en esa época y mi padre tenía un jiip willis
Just buy a rebuilt transfer case from e bay and be done with it.
But if I did that, I wouldn't learn anything. This video was from awhile ago, already rebuilt it and put around 200 miles on it so far.
what a messy work bench
I don't know how you're doing in Arkansas.... But it's miserable cold here in north western Oregon. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! Been unseasonably warm here, it's 50 and raining. If I had a full top and functional wipers on the Jeep I'd go for a drive.
Ahhsomm video 😂
can you do a 1 year update review on the tool box
I hadn't really thought about it but I could look at doing one sometime.
Great job of restoring the hubs, they look like new!
Nice, have you tried hanging parts to paint? I find a strong magnet or piece of string helps to retain clips that want to be free of my work area. Still can't find a big socket think it rolled out of the garage and somebody picked it up off the sidewalk.
Hanging parts is the way I usually go, but it was pretty windy that day and they kept swaying too much. Had to sit them flat for this one.
Awesome 👌
This video was very well done Bradly!! Enjoyed!
I'm still lukewarm on the music choices but the YT audio library was limited 🙄 I hadn't seen another video on rebuilding these hubs so I thought I'd throw one out there, so maybe someone will find it useful someday. Not much to them, but it's nice to have a visual.
@@SunkCostGarage Im always looking for different ways to film something, and I thought this really good. When it comes to the music...that is always a tough choice determining what gives the video the "feel" you are looking for. And then...even when you are happy...some viewer will comment how much they hate music in videos. Make em because you like em. I need to rebuild the hubs on the CJ5 sometime in the near(ish) future so will look to yours for inspiration.
I have the same ones on my 3a but they are branded selctro. They work really easy. Happy thanksgivin
That was the neat part that I found trying to research these Sears hubs. Most of the aftermarket hubs are the same design with a different knob. So this will apply to most of the common ones out there.
What a joy it is to see these special items getting restored and functioning again, thank you for sharing where you got some of the parts, might come in handy one day. Hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving!
I love wasting time making things like new (sorta) when I can. I do wish I had a local machine shop that did small scale projects. Those bronze bushings needed to be remade but they'll likely function well enough as-is. Not a perfect restoration, but they'll do well enough.
Its so great when you can save stuff from being scrapped. I also try to save original hardware as much as possible, rarely do I replace any bolt. Ive seen quite a few axles with gaskets for the king pins, but it seems like they just werent able to find shims, or had no clue it uses shims and they just tried to seal things up. Really neat progress looking forward to seeing how you continue!
It's still funny to me that I'll spend an hour and a half cleaning nuts and bolts just to save $5 on replacement stuff.
Enjoy watching the progress on the Jeep and other parts. 👍Tim
She's gonna blow!
I hope not. Rebuilds are expensive. New long blocks even worse.
As long as it'll cruze along at45 to 50 I'm happy. It would be too scary driving it at 65 to 80!
Very nice,,,,, next step get an overdrive fitted 😊
Wish I could. The body appears solid but it was patched poorly and the tub is sitting right on top of the transfer case. Couldn't get a shifter in there if I had an overdrive to install.
interesting - I have a 2414 with the exact symptoms - if it is a chip failure would replacing the processor fix it? will try this fix
I can't really speak to the different model of NAS. The issue was tied to a specific faulty Intel atom cpu model. These Intel atoms are soldered directly to the motherboard so I do not believe replacement is an easy option. Certainly not upgradeable like a socketed cpu.
Wow, it sounds very nice. Good job!!
It does sound smooth and quiet, your hard work has paid off for sure!
That's just kinda what stock 4 cylinder Jeeps do. But listen to how good it's running!
Finally reached that "running like a sewing machine" stage. The valves are adjusted, the carb is fantastic, the ignition timing is dialed in, it's running great. I hate that I lost some compression since I first got it running though. Probably from getting all that carbon buildup off the rings from the way it was rigged to work previously (super rich mix, idle set at 2000+ RPMs, etc.)
@SunkCostGarage you've come a long way the hard way. Go enjoy it this summer before you tear it back down for paint and body work
