    My very 1st Jeep was a 76 CJ5, 258, 3 speed. Manual everything, no power nothing. 4 wheel drum brakes. I yanked it out of farmers field and fixed it up.
    I LOVED THAT THING. Sold it to pay off my schooling.

    In my 54 years I’ve never owned a Jeep. I’ve had Matchbox Jeeps, built plastic models, Tonka Jeeps, and drew them when I was a kid. Thanks Dennis for your contribution to the Jeep community. Love your videos!

    The first vehicle I ever bought was a 1985 Jeep CJ-7. Not sure of the original color, but it was metallic maroon with a hard top and dark tinted windows, absolutely loved it. I think I paid around $2k for it in 1994.
    One weekend I had driven it a few hours from home to my old college for a reunion, the morning I was supposed to leave, it wouldn't start. Had a local garage tow it in to see what was wrong. They knew I was from out of town, so they literally hammered the choke wide open and drained the transmission and transfer case. Told me it was only firing on 5 cylinders and I couldn't drive it in that condition, and wanted a ton of money to fix it. I left anyway and eventually made it home, and after my usual mechanic looked at it, he told me what was going on. I wish I knew then what I know now about cars. Had to sell it for pennies because I couldn't afford to fix it. Transmission and transfer case were smoked.
    I learned years later that garage got closed down for scamming people.

    When I was 17 my dad gave me a used but good 77 cj5 golden eagle V8 with Levis trim pkg, it was awesome and would go anywhere no power brakes or steering, it was like a goat. I broke so many parts that I ended up spending more on parts than the 3G's my dad bought it for. I wish I would have never sold it. I broke or spun at least five rear axles! luv your u tubes vids, keep it up!

    I’ve never considered myself a Jeep guy, but it’s amazing the stuff you forget about. In the early 80’s I worked for a parking company, and we used Jeeps as our work trucks, we even plowed snow with them. We had two, one was a red hard top automatic, the other was a way older (side mounted spare) soft top 3 speed. I pretty much learned how to drive a standard on the old Jeep. Just watching this brought back all those memories instantly.

    • @1982MCI
      @1982MCI 3 года назад

      I’m with ya there, but I don’t think any Jeep in those conditions should die!! We have enough reproduction parts available for the 5’s & 7’s that we shouldn’t need to part many of them out unless you need transfer case, axles, and few other original parts that we can rebuild but not replace. I’m a Jeep fan thru and thru and we need to save every single Jeep possible!

    I had a 1977 CJ5 and I put power steering and tilt in it. The upper tilt column bolted right up and the steering box bolted right up to the frame. The wiring harness plugged right in. I had to make a bracket to mount the power steering pump and a 10in extension to hook up the upper and lower column together. The tilt column came out of a 1978 Firebird and the steering box came out of a 1977 camaro.

    I grew up with a 1978 golden ginger metallic CJ5 levi edition with a 304 in Yuma Arizona. I got to drive it in high school and spent all my money from my summer job modifying it. It is still there for me to inherit someday. I got to choose between that and my dad's fairly nicely restored 1939 Dodge sedan to inherit. I picked the jeep. It has power steering, but it might have been aftermarket. If that is aftermarket, it didn't happen in my lifetime. Makes me wonder about that H-code, I'll have to go check for that next time I'm down. The original paint is in fantastic condition, being kept in a garage in dry Yuma, Arizona. Would like to get some original Levi seats put back in though. If I bring it up here to Washington state, which will be a little sad as its really a desert jeep, I'll need to get a good de-humidifier for the garage. I hope it stays in my family for generations.
