Back in the eighties I worked with a guy in Massachusetts who insisted that when you plowed snow with a Jeep you only locked one front hub so it wouldn't get too hard to steer and refused to believe me when I told him the front differential made that pointless. I can see him misinterpreting a crafty Yankee plowing snow in 2wd with the passenger side hub locked so he doesn't have to trudge all away around the jeep in the snow to lock both hubs if he gets stuck. And yes, keeping it in 2wd until you get stuck is a strategy: if you get stuck in 2wd switching to 4wd will usually get you out; if you get stuck in 4wd you are well and truly stuck. Snow plow guys aren't off-roaders and aren't making money when they're stuck.
This is why I like to say that the better-equipped your off-roader is, the worse you're gonna get stuck. A stock Jeep on all-terrains with open diffs, is gonna get into a little mud and that's the end of it. The guy with lockers, gnarly 35's and a winch- when HE gets stuck, he's gonna be stuck BAD!
Another indicator that it's a 1980 or newer is the plastic hub selector dials. Earlier ones ('76-'79) were bronze. That aside, a front spring reversal, steering box brace, & moving the front axle forward by ~2" greatly improved road manners on these machines. Great vid - thanks for putting up these old Jeep videos - they're very informative.
Car builders in 1920 knew to put the steering behind the axle if the shackles were in front, and only put the steering in front if the non-shackle “bushing” end was there. The newest Heeps have inherited the Death Wobble. The steering is in front and the control arms are in back. This MAY work when everything is brand new, but it is not a bulletproof setup. The oldest Renault LeCar that still rolls will never develop the death wobble.
@@richs7362 Worse on that but really anything that has more weight over the rear axle than the front can experience it. Just more terrifying on a motorcycle as it has one wheel up there.
AGREED!!! I'm a Northern Michigander myself, still living here. And I'm telling you, even the late 70's cars were pretty much gone from existence by 1995. And that's what I hate about living here the most, and the deathly cold winters is in second. AWWW!!!
The last model year for CJ5 production was 1983. The VIN plate would have been riveted to the firewall on the driver's side, however there should also be a sticker on the dash with the VIN (my 1976 CJ5 had this, along with a 'non-catalyst' sticker. The 4 cyl did not 'replace' the inline 6 cyl or V8, but was made the 'standard' engine. The GM 'Iron Duke' was the standard engine in CJ's from 80-83. when AMC switched to their own 150 cu in 4 cyl with the 84 models. Gone in 1980 models was the standard 3 spd, replaced by either a SR-4, T-4, T-176 (all 4 spds), and the T-5 (5 spd). Based on what I can see, I'd make this a 1980 CJ5: disc brakes and 6 bolt Jeep (Warn) locking hubs. 5 bolt Warn non-premium hub were used from 81-86 in all CJ models. Ask any CJ owner about their 'love' for the Torx fasteners used everywhere on these vehicles. Especially those vehicles that have seen decades of life in the rust belt.
Loved my '76 CJ 304 4bbl with 3sp, side pipes, 33 inch mudders, no top, no doors, no radio, no heater...just patina yellow with 2 black vinyl bucket seats & that awesome V8 that rumbles
The carburetor you are referring to is the Rochester Varajet. Also known as the Rochester “Disaster Jet”. Assuming it is a 1980, the VIN would be something like this: J for Jeep Corporation, 0 for 1980 model year, F for three speed or M for four speed manual transmissions, 83 for CJ-5, A for 3750 # Gross Vehicle Weight Raing or E for 4150 # GVWR, possible B for 2.5L GM sourced four-cylinder engine, and the rest is the production sequence. For 1981, it is a possibility to get a 2.5L and that would be 1JC for US made Jeep MPV, B for 2.5L four cylinder GM sourced "Iron Duke", M for four speed or N for five speed manual transmission, 85 for CJ-5, A or E for the same GVWR range choices as above, then a random check digit, B for 1981 model year (C is 1982, D is 1983, etc.) and the rest is the production sequence. If it was originally white, that would have been code 9A Olympic White exterior paint. They were assembled in Toledo, OH during this time, which is still in operation today.
I had a 78 CJ5 with a 304 V8 and factory A/C back in 1985. Loved that Jeep. Dependable and fun. I learned to become a special person in a special vehicle after I came close to rolling it once. After that experience I better understood what I could and could not do.
I have a 77 Jeep CJ7 that was pretty much a barn find. I slowly restored it and now I daily drive it. Let me tell you, I love this Jeep! I love it as a family vintage cruiser. It sees action from car shows to trail rides and daily city life. It's awesome that is more open than any other convertible.
Return of the very creepy deer head!! Good lord your rust up there is unbelievable!!! Another great video Steve, keep up the outstanding content and studying you do to bring these videos to us!!
To me it’s the same reason ATC got banned it’s all the driver operater. That’s why Jeep got sued and had to add all the safety modifications. I still have my 1982 Three wheeler. Great videos Steve.
Hi Steve. I am buying a 1980 CJ5 for a customer of mine in Europe. it is red with a full black top. It has a Ford 302 V8 right now. It is a Mexican model so it will be interesting to see the differences between the Mexican model and the US model from the same year. I will do a video on it if there are a few differences.
Thanks Steve! I had a CJ-5 w a 304. That thing went anywhere! For whatever reason, though, they never invested in a top that was easy to fold down, so most people just left them up. Took away some of the fun. And yes, it rusted away.
i rusto moded my 78cj5 in 1986 with fiberglass body. 350 chevy t-18 ford truck trans using advanced adapters kit. detroit locker in rear. 27 hockey pucks to lift the body. longer shackels on springs. a front roll bar caged kit . wrangler 33x12,50 x15 tires. had it about 12 years. still have old photos playing in mud and snow. living in the north east i finaly got smart and oil coat body and chasis on curent vehicles.
I had a 1975 CJ in 1980 with my first wife . I loved that little 4 wheeler it had a 304 in it and it had more then enough power for that little jeep. My oldest granddaughter just got her first car and it's a CJ 7 and she loves it . I hope to some day in the next couple of years to get another jeep as a surprise for my wife . Just before we met she had her CJ 7 stole . So I'd like to surprise her . Thanks again for all the infor wish I could make it to the auction just to maybe have a chance to see and maybe pick your brain
Yikes! My mantra in Texas is: "Never crush a Jeep, just cut off the good parts and build another one." That one doesn't have much to offer. I love my '01 TJ, 5spd manual with the last hurrah for the Willys based 4 cylinder. I bought mine from Collins Brothers in McKinney in '03. Chrysler brought the 2.5l I4 back from the dead when they redesigned the AMC 234/258ci I6 into the popular 4.0l for the YJ, and both carried over into the '97 TJ. Quadra-Coil forever!
'80 or newer aligns with the front disc brakes on a base model, I think they were only an option up to somewhere around that time they became standard. Late 70s, or 80. Somebody else would probably know for sure, it's a little before my time. Cool little Jeep, shame to see it so far gone. I have a '79 CJ-5, 360 4sp, fiberglass.
Front disc brakes became standard in 1978. Also this jeep has the short front shock tower and that was discontinued in 1982 when they went with a taller tower. So this jeep is 1978-1981 model.
Man I love those! My dad loved them he owned many of them throughout his life, specially after serving ww2, he loved them so much that he used to buy them at military auction! Then during the 50-60-70s, he kept the tradition by buying a different one every few years. He loved using them on his farm. Now I continue the tradition by owning Jeep Wrangler’s!👌😎👍great video Steve!
Hi Steve. Thanks again for a great trip down memory lane. I rebuilt a 1949 CJ 3A in the 90's. A way to know an older CJ 5 from a newer one is the wiper motor. Pre 1975 it was mounted outside of the windshield frame.
My 98 wrangler has extra text on a similar decal that also warns the top and doors are essentially to keep nature out of the Jeep not keep you in the Jeep
The worst gas tank and filler location has to be in an Army Jeep. My neighbor used to own a 1943 Ford built one. You lifted up the driver's seat cushion, the short filler neck was right on top. It was large enough to stick your hand in, and had a removable screen mesh filter. Bad enough to have people shooting at you, but you're also sitting on top of potential bomb!
Roll over disclaimers? Now they make vehicles with pop up tv screens you're not supposed to look at while driving,shoot me if I ever have to drive one(or shuts off at traffic lights or has a pushbutton to start)
The seat belt mount is right in front of the rear wheels and as I found out, not the best idea to buckle up on a rusty beach cruiser as it fell in front of the tire on our way to the ramp, beach access, and could have ended badly had my buddy not been paying attention to my "Stop! STOP!" when we were pulling out onto the road. Never ride in anything that has scrap lumber holding the middle bits up.
Ii had brought a 78 CJ-5 from the original owner and he didn't even pony up for the roll bar. It was so badly rusted that the seat belt anchor fell off and was hanging under the jeep and scraping the road! The original owner was so cheap, he had beer cans as gaskets for the carburetor.
@@77yogurt I'm a cheapskate but not that cheap. I've made gaskets out of the cardboard from the 12 pack container which haven't failed yet. Fixed a few exhaust leaks with beer cans and hose clamps too.
The reason why Jeeps and other 4 wheel drive vehicles don't survive well in states that use salt on the roads in winter is winter is when most get more usage because of the snow and that's why complete body kits, either steel or fiberglass are readily available along with just patch panels for the inevitable rust through. Toyota Landcruisers were the worst for rust thru. I remember seeing them only a couple of years old with rust bubbling thru the fenders and body.
I have a '73 CJ 5, I must be one of those special people they're talking about? Jeep CJs have the hard to find 5 1/2" on 5 bolt pattern wheels with the large center hole. Factory CJ wheels are going for big money on places like Ebay.
I was waiting to cross the street at a traffic light in Vancouver in the 1980s. At the time was cool to mount oversized wheels on Jeeps. Here comes one making a fast left turn and it gets up on two wheels. Slams back down, accident averted. I was looking at the driver of the Jeep I thought was about to run me over on the sidewalk. His eyes went so big during the almost-crash that it looked like a cartoon. He didn't wipe out but after that close call he became a Jeep special person....
The original Jeep made for the military was proven in court (from an old neighbors' lawsuit) in the late 70's early 80's you could roll one at 4 or 5 mph.
I think Steve might have rode in one of my Cj5’s way back in the day, but The Who’s who of those that rode in my Jeep is lost to history, like 40 years ago now! I still drive a Cj….a Cj3b that is….
I cant believe the windshield frame isn't rusted really bad compared to how rusty the rest of it is. I replaced several rusty windshield frames before on jeeps that had good bodies, seems like they were the first thing to rust.
In my neck of the woods "special" people is code for someone 9 cents short of a dime. The same as a dull plastic butter knife amongst a drawer full of razor sharp meat cleavers.
They have to put those warnings on these type of vehicles steve,,because over tyme people lost thier common sense,,and became s,.p.,...my opinion only..
I’m looking for some info that is rumored you might be able to help with. Do you happen to have a set of the 225 hyper pack exhaust manifolds? I’m trying to find out some measurements.
My observation about the CJ's propensity for rolling is that the ones that had the V8 were way more likely to be rolled than the ones with the straight 6. Too much speed for a short vehicle.
For many years there was also a place on all Jeeps were a flag mount would go back in the day when Jeeps were in the military if you knew where to look were the spot is on the body.

Old skool Steve! Haven't heard the term "beach wagon" since before my father passed and that was more than fifty years ago.keep on crawling!
That "shimmie" otherwise known as the "death wobble" 😂

Anther creepy deer 🦌
Very interesting, as usual!....BTW, Zombie Deer for President 2024...I am sure he would do a far better job than the incumbent "zombie"!!!
What's with the buck?
Carb on 151 was called a varijet carb

For many years there was also a place on all Jeeps were a flag mount would go back in the day when Jeeps were in the military if you knew where to look were the spot is on the body.
I rolled my 81 sx4 151 ci it was only 3 mths old

Being from the west, seeing cars that rusty is shocking! Like return to the Titanic...
CJ-7 came out in 1976, not 1977. I had one.
