I've done a bunch of research on raptor liner and I'm thinking I'll shoot the frame and underside of the body as a final protective layer and to give everything a more uniform texture! What are your thoughts?
the inside of frame is the main problem make sure it has drain holes anywhere it could hold water .. spray on liners need the correct prep work or it will chip off do more research before you decide.. i have seen several vidios on how to treat the inside of frame some clean paint , so if you plan on long tearm protection look at what other people have done some work ans some fail research please that jeep could be worth a ton of money if done correctly and kept original drive train
Ok sounds good! I plan on drilling those holes and shooting POR15 inside all of the frame rails with a special gun / rubber hose 360 degree nozzle I got. Should seal it well (if the paint gun works as intended haha) And as of now I plan on keeping the engine/trans/tc
a solid restored cj 5 kept original can go for 50k or more .. i have a 77 cj5 h code 304 v8 wish i had the money to restore it to keep for the rest of my life
Yeah definitely make sure you do! When I started this project I didn't realize it would be so easy to do. I wish I had removed it....would have made everything easier
Haha now there is the golden question 😂 surprisingly with a little rubbing alcohol it came right off! The same can't be said for the por15 on my legs though hahah thanks for watching Thomas!
Ken probably knows way more about Jeeps than me :) But another thing to check is your carburetor tune/setup. I've heard poorly setup carbs (or broken ones) can lead to terrible gas mileage.... that said, I'm sure old Jeeps have horrible mileage in general haha
Thanks for watching Orockzman! I'm planning on doing a big price reveal when I finish her up but I'm probably 3k or so in parts laying on the garage floor..... I'm sure I still have a lot to go too :)
@@NickDowner hay for all you have done so far that's not bad. I've been wanting to do my frame on my 97 TJ so I'll be useing your videos for reference.
Yeah I believe you're correct! Something that promotes adhesion to bare metal i think. I didn't have any on hand so we'll see how it turns out. Thanks for watching!

You’re a super hard worker dude. Great job!
Thanks Phil! Much appreciated 😀
Amazing !
Thanks for watching Alvaro!
Nice job not to mention fantastic camera work!
Thank you very much! 😀
You make this look so easy Nick... Thanks for the help!
Great video! You're doing an awesome job on the Jeep.
Thanks Rob! Much appreciated!! It's been a learning experience for sure but I'm enjoying it

Whoa that's wild! I knew they were going up in value but that's awesome.
I have an H Code '77 CJ5 as well. I use it for my daily driver. I would never give it up. Love that Jeep.
@@robr4662 that's epic! :)
I will be taking the body off all the way for sure.
Yeah definitely make sure you do! When I started this project I didn't realize it would be so easy to do. I wish I had removed it....would have made everything easier
the main problem with unnleaded fuel is led protected the heads and valves so aluminem heads could save future problems
Ooo good to know. I always wondered why older cars required leaded fuel
How did you manage to get the por 15 off your face?
Haha now there is the golden question 😂 surprisingly with a little rubbing alcohol it came right off! The same can't be said for the por15 on my legs though hahah thanks for watching Thomas!
I have a willy cj3b but itz giving me worst milage .any suggestion???
geared for offroad unless you want to change axle gears or transfer case or transmission keep it for offroad

@@kenmiller5954 can we connect so that i can get more understanding since im a beginner .
@@NickDowner yes true 😂😂 ive change the carburator twice but nothing seem to improve.
So how much have you spent so far?

Awesome! You can learn from my mistakes haha this is all new to me as well. I appreciate the support.
Aren’t you supposed to use metal prep before putting por 15
Yeah I believe you're correct! Something that promotes adhesion to bare metal i think. I didn't have any on hand so we'll see how it turns out. Thanks for watching!
