- A walk-around of my 1970 CJ5. This was a ton of fun to build and took several years to get to this point. It's not perfect but was a great project, I learned a lot! Just thought I'd share a video going over some of it!
It's not done! so stay tuned for more on this JEEP!

Back in 1979, I walked to my local Jeep dealership.
They had a '79 CJ5, no power steering no power brakes, 4 speed w/ granny, no back seat no top as it set on the lot...
Oh and the tire carrier was on the side....
At the age of 16, I paid cash and still own it, upgraded to dana 44's with Detroit lockers n have rebuilt the 258, twice....
And a few new clutches.
I LOVE MY Jeep !
When Jeeps were real Jeeps!
i started with a 78 cj5 with the 258, crashed and burned that one, soon after i picked up a 1977 cj5 with a 304, swapped it with a rebuilt 360 still have it today, just tuned it up an hour ago, 30 years and counting :)
That is the nicest CJ5 I have ever seen....good job. My daily driver is a 52 M38A1....11800 miles when I bought it out of covered storage...now at 18000...be proud of the work you did, nobody understands what we endure to keep these old vehicles rolling
This is the atrocity I had to commit to make an old CJ useful. Frame was gone, everything else rusted. The body is held down to the frame with 7 bolts right now. It ain't purtty, but it sure works.

BEAUTIFUL! My pop used to take me offroad in his pre AMC CJ5.
Just beautiful!🥰👍
You did a great job! Love the Willy’s tailgate on the Kaiser Jeep.👍👍👍
Timeless classic Jeep. A thing of beauty!
Love time time you took to detail, just brought home a 67 cj5 to keep our 90 yj company. Now to start our cj5 build!
That thing is beautiful! I had a 1980 that was stolen and I still miss it.
Great video and comments! Thanks for sharing! Love your Jeep!
Awesome video - thanks. I'm a new owner of a '74 and loving it!
Awesome job!!! Love it
I love old jeeps, interesting video, well done.
Great story and great work! Very cool machine!
The Jeep history and additional details are interesting and entertaining as well.
I used to have a late 1970 CJ-5, that I bought used from an AMC dealer. There isn't much that I couldn't tell you about that Jeep, but the one thing that stood out over the time I had it, is that it was built from all sorts of leftover Jeep parts!! The basic Jeep was 1970, the radiator was a 1968, the transmission was a 1969 and the transfer case was a 1967!!! Kaiser knew it was the end and was trying to use up everything they had. This one came factory with the roll bar and the rarer "safari" soft top. I loved that top because it was designed to roll the two side up as well as the back so you could have the roof only for a sunshade. It also came factory equipped with two heaters, one of which was for heat and defrost and the second under the passenger side of the dash for extra heat in the very cold winters. I could sweat somebody right out with those! Also had the standard 225 V-6 odd-fire that was a real brute with all sorts of torque!! Here's some links to the Jeep (sadly, I do not own it now) with a couple more notes:
Portrait in my driveway of my pride and joy at the time. You can see the orange steering shock. When I bought the Jeep, it had a horrible shake at about 52 mph. The dealer added that before I signed. Found out later that the tires merely needed air! LOL The color of the Jeep is also interesting. It never had any other color, and this is 1970 FORD blue! Took me a LONG time to figure that out!!

PS: Although your speedo looks right, you may have inadvertently gotten a 6V or a 24V one.
Several decades ago I had the unique experience of driving an original still in service military (NATO issue) olive-drab flat-fender high bonneted Willys Jeep, in bone stock condition, complete with bare steel-rimmed steering wheel. I have to add it happened under combat conditions, which added to the adrenaline.
The perfect lift on a really nice CJ5 well done buddy!
Beautiful Jeep. You did a great job in restoring it. I've got a original Renegade 1. I bought it from the original owner,back in 1987 . It was my second jeep,had a 73 first. Mine had or has all the things you described,plus. It is the light blue,I think it's called sierra blue. Its has the Renegade black strips,225 odd fire ,rebuilt warn overdrive,27 and 44 diffs, 4:88 gears,single rollbar,t14 and t18 transfer case. I've rebuilt the engine ,transfer case is original,replaced the trany,4:56 gears,now. It's got a full cage roll bar now,full harness seats and belts,2 and a half ranchco lift. Still have the original spare tire rack on it,new exhaust,31 inch self cleaning tread tires,new top and doors,bikini top. Original dash and back seat,rhino lined the whole inside and dash. The last thing it really needs is to be repainted,the original blue,and put on the new renegade strips I have. The last few years have been good to it,since I've got my 2005 wrangler,i've been able to give it a break and take it easy on it. We are a jeep family,my sons got a 2006 wrangler,both are automatics,they drive like a car,not a tractor. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours did. Jeeps,once you been infected you can't get cured!!
Awesome Jeep ! Great restoration job!
Great job,Strong work!
Beautiful Jeep !
Love it!!!! greetings from Argentina.
Very nice job on that CJ! Looks great!
this looks really good
I bought a 1970 CJ5 back in 1980. It had the V6 and flanged axle and the heavy spring pack and the 10 inch drums, but original color was red. I am now starting a frame off restoration of a 1966 CJ5 with the 225 V6. I could never get the old Jeep out of my blood stream.
That's awesome! 👍👍
sorry, didnt realize this was from 4 years ago
That's gorgeous
this is a beautiful machine u got
Absolutely top shelf job!! Really enjoyed the video. Fantastic the way you brought it back to "original" looking. Love the tailgate, too. Well done, sir!
Beautiful job. It’s been awhile but I believe my Jeep was a 1965 Willy’s Kaiser. 4 cylinder, 538 gear ratio. Excellent video
That's how a CJ5 should be built. Helluva job man
Love your build
That "useless information" means a lot to some of us. Good job on it. 👍
I own at 2017 2 door red JK Willys, love it so much, but love yours as much. I will have time to work on a CJ project when I retire in 5 years.
Love the details
Nice work, good attention to detail. I do the longfender AMC years, myself.
Love the build, I just wrapped up year 3 on my 1980 CJ5 with a AMC 360 Resto and Jeep Beach 2020 in Daytona is on the list
Great job !
I love the jeep bro.
Unreal brother absolutely beautiful!! And your information isn’t useless at all, I just bought a 1970 Cj5! Gonna count on you to guide me!
"jeep perfume" i absolutely love it. here in southwestern ontario it was super warm this evening so i went for a ride (20:00hrs-20:22hrs roughly) and never even thought about the after effects (aka: perfume). that perfume, yep i got it and it's all good. never noticed until you mentioned it - thanks :P
edit: sorry - i'm sporting a '74 CJ5. love it, absolutely loving it.
Looks great
I love all the vestigial stampings on the cj5.
Scary f#*king gas tank. Nice job on the Jeep! It's awesome.
excelente video!!
Its hard to beat the look of a fairly stock old cj with some tall skinnies. Ive had many jeeps but I miss my 73 cj 5. I made the 4.2 scream. It drove like a Porsche as far as Im concerned. You did a good job. Aside from mine being orange with white wheels it looked just like yours. One of the very few vehicles that sell for more than they did new.
Excellent restoration! My first Jeep ride was in a 1970 CJ5 and I was hooked. My first car was a 1967 CJ5 very much like yours, even down to the red color. It had the Dauntless 225 engine. It was a rust-bucket, but very, very fun to drive. So many things in this video reminds me of it. You say you are unsure if the speedometer in your Jeep is correct. The speedometer in my 1967 was identical to the one you've got -- and like yours, I could never make it work. I salute you for the work that you've done, and thanks for sharing the video!
Beautiful rig
Though I'm not a classic Jeep owner, only ever owned modern Jeeps; I'm big fan and love researching them. From what I've read it's pretty hard to identify the older ones for a few reasons. One being the Jeep community back in the day was pretty similar to our modern community, Most of them modified their rigs so you could definitely have a base jeep with a bunch of renegade stuff on it because someone did a conversion some time in the past. Another possibility is that it could have just been a one off Jeep from the factory with a mix match of stuff from different trims and packages. Through the years and during the multiple company buy outs that Jeep has had, there ended up being less than perfect production records and practices to say the least so you'd get a quirky one every once in awhile with an oddball part. Like "hey, we still have some of these axles left over" "okay, slap them onto the ones coming through now" type situation lol. Great video man! The Jeep looks awesome!
Nice simple and decent restoration.
Sorry about spelling cannot see this on the tiny phone. Bought 78 CJ5 owned seveal jeeps. Reworking a 78 CJ5 232 3 speed Appears to be a old Renegade. Run and drives but a lotta work $5000 in and still going. Love my old 78 CJ5. My wife and kids cryed when we traded it in 1986. Nothing Like the Littke CJ-5. I would rather gave it than a new one any day.
Very cool truck! 👌
Nice set up just perfect for all around driving. Not to high lift so drive line didn't create bad angles which drive ability is kept . good ground clearance . nice creativity with the restoration.
Excelente...
Sweet Jeep Mr Clark! I have a 75 cj5 that I've had since brand new. First car I ever drove! I was 8 years old and I'm 56 now.
Wow Britt great video and glad I found you. Just bought a 62 yesterday and will be looking your way for advice........
Nice build !!!
I have a 68 that grandpa bought new. Owned for a few years in 80's and got back 10 yrs ago... Pretty rough. It has small amber turn signal and none on the fenders. Didn't run for 5 yrs but have her going again... plans in the works for some restoration. Your 70 is beautiful.
I had a 1979 CJ5 years ago. It was a great rig. Would like to come across another one. If I had a choice I would like a 1970 to 1981. They all have some challenges, but in the end are a blast to have.
That is a sweet Jeep man, you don't see too many CJ5's anymore!
I am in the process of restoring a CJ7 right now. Can't wait until I am enjoying it like you are!
My first Jeep was a CJ5... I'm so glad I sold it, and put money in my 2nd Jeep... A 77 CJ7.
Those 5s look nice, but damn they're a pain in the ass getting in and out of one. That slanted door cut was the bane of my existence!
I have a 1978 CJ5 with 85k original miles. It was restored about 12yrs ago and I just bought it from the guy the did a off frame restoration. He put 1000 miles on it in 10yrs. It has a very heavy duty fiberglass tub. Jeep is red like yours. It has a set of aluminum wheels (15x8) with 3.75 backspace. With 32x11.50 tires BFG M/T’s. This Jeep looks to have a 2-3in lift. Last owner was not a car or Jeep guy. He really didn’t know much about it. Because it sat for 10yrs I’m going over everything. Tune up, changing all fluids and oils. It has a 232 6cylinder with the T150 transmission, Dana 300 transfer case. I believe it has a 3:42 gear from what I can tell.
My question is, Does your 34x9.50 mudders rub? If I go to a 33x12.50 they will rub. And I’m afraid if I go to a 31x10.50 it will look funny because of the lift. I already have a 1inch spacer in rear because the front axle is one inch wider. I don’t want to run a spacer in the front I would like to find a set of stock wheels a try the 34x9.50’s but I need to know the back space you have on your wheels. I have a walk around video on my channel. It’s my latest video from 2 weeks ago. Could you watch it and give me some ideas? I would really appreciate it.. Thanks.
In 1974 i learned to drive a manual transmission in a 1969 Jeep CJ-5. my Dad would drive me to the church parking lot which had a field out back and i would drive around it . i took my driver,s test in that Jeep ,and somehow scored 100%.
So cool! I wish I was that lucky!
There's tons of jeep build vids out there. I'm working on a 1980 cj5..man the things ya gotta go thru...all original with the atomic 4 banger.. leaving it alone runs fine.. never hit 30 on a trail anyway. Love the ole jeep.
Very good buddy hugs from Brazil
Now that's a real JEEP !
Baylor58 Duncan why?
My cj5 has the V 6 1959 it's been hot roded . And is fun to drive . I really like the look you got with yours
Sweet!
Great video! It’s motivating me to look for a Jeep similar to yours. Even tho it looks simple, you went into good detail to help me out when looking into a CJ5...
Glad I could help!
Not useless information I loved that part
That's crazy the container was the same size as the glove box, I'll have to remember that when I replace mine. Also I'm really digging the red and the wheels, nice looking jeep.
It worked like a charm! I did have to get a bigger one than I thought though! The place I went to let me go out and size up the containers with the glove box. 😁
Cool video! The bumpers are from a company called “Dirtworx” in California. I have the same rear tire carrier
I had a 74 with a 350, fkn scary fun
Amazing Video, Awesome Jeep, I Have a 1982 Cj5, And a new RUclips Channel dude you’ve nailed it with the Jeep and video!!!
Super clean, great job on the build.
Thank you! I appreciate that! I'm sure you'd agree that there's nothing like CJ's!
For sure! Mine is no where near as clean as yours but it still draws attention wherever we take it.
Such a good feeling!
Nice CJ!
Nice CJ!! lots of work was put into that for sure. Great job. Just subscribed
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words!
Good Job!! Just picked up a 78 CJ5. Yes, mine doesn't stop very well either. Nice looking Jeep.
Thanks! You'll get that 78 going in no time I'm sure! Definitely something to say about having parts readily available! 👍👍
If it’s power brakes and the brake rod hasn’t been modified the rear brakes are virtually non existent. If you have a long throw in a mushy pedal this is most certainly your problem. All CJ’s had this problem with the power disc brakes through their entire production run up to 1986. Good luck.
I like the wore out swampers.
Gotta tell ya..love the jeep and the vid. Bro I'm on my 5th cj5 none better. That blue was a promo..you probably got one of the first cj5 Levi Jean colors..all after market makes..later came the Golden Eagles.and the v8s. My new rebuild is an 80 cj5..yeah strange..title and numbers matching..original4.. I want to keep it that way.. Great video!!
Great job Britt ! You now have a new subscriber. Looking forward to more content on older Jeeps. Seems most of the channels are all about the newer "cookie cutter" jeeps. Refreshing to see a channel like yours ! Keep up the good work. 😁
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words!
miss my 1975 cj5 with the 304 in it sure was a screaming demon up the strip mines here in pa back in 77
nice work
Musica linda!
🔥🔥🔥
Loved the video I have a 1975 CJ5 all original that I want to restore.
Very interesting. I'm from Nagaland, India and own a 1963 CJ 5 M 38 A1. It belonged to the Pakistan Army and was captured by the Indian Army in 1971. Unfortunately, due to the lack of spares, I've converted it to right hand drive and it runs on a Mahindra Diesel engine with matching gearbox and differentials.
very good excellence original
7:10 i've had that same thing and fixed it. it's all mechanical so just just watch what it does and you'll have it sorted out in no time.
Beautiful jeep I have a 90 jeep only 52,000 miles on unfortunately it has only been used for plowing condos I need to start restoration on it soon
Beautiful. The tall lift and tall tires aren't my style ( I prefer something like a 3" lift and 30x 950 tires) But I love the footprint. I think the old schoolers look best when they keep the utility look , withthe tires no wider than the body dripline. What a lot of work - and patience!
I like it
Man love your Jeep. I have a 85 CJ7 which I’m trying to restore.
minixboy ....I just picked up an 85 Cj-7 with 38,000 original miles, it's got the "Levi's" edition interior, glass, and color scheme, from my Dad's 78yr old huntin buddy....for $3000 I shit you not...🤘🏻
Check the ground for the speedometer. Even if you have to run one to the ground for the engine or to the battery. You probably have already its just what I had to do
1. Paint it O.D. Green
2. Put on the Military bridge plate in the Front
on the grill
3. Put on the
Black out lights
on both the front fenders and in rear
4. Replace rear light with Army jeep tail lights.
5. Get the decals and
Put them on,
There is a company
and dose them.
When all is send and done,
People will. Complement you on your cheat and even offer you money for it.
PFC Thomas Blackhawk- I respectfully disagree...it's a CJ not an M38a1. If I had a $1 for every *--hole telling me to doll mine (a '49 CJ3A) up that way the resto'd be paid for. Clones can be cool, but originals are still obtainable for those who want the military styling. Best of luck on your own build, I'm sure you'll enjoy the results.
You did a fantastic resto on that CJ probably the finest I've ever seen that gives me inspiration for the one i've got. If you do another project I'd like to see it as well, no matter what it is. Good job! Ill send a video when I jump into my 1960 CJ-5 Its a dauntless and Ill probably keep that in it, although a friend gave me a 1991 Olds 98 with a even fire but Im not sure If I should go with that or not any advice is appreciated. Thank you for sharing.
I have a 1968 cj5 that came with dual factory fuel tanks, one under each seat and the each have there own spout on each side.
The dauntless odd fire engine is special not just a 225
Dauntless has special 50 lb fly wheel for low end chug along
Special cam shaft
All the fenders crack
Looks like a1974 windshield frame
Most likely the frame is cracked at the spring hangers where they are riveted to frame
I drilled out the rivets cut hangers off
Welded frame took rectangular tubeing cut it alittle longer than the spring hanger
Cut section out so tube would slip into frame rail then bolted hanger back into place before re welding them
Had my jeep for over 20 years frame never cracked again
Made a new rear crossmember out of heavyer metal
Made a passenger seat bracket so both seats were the same height
Many more modifications
Finally sold it to friend who kept begging me to sell it to them
Still have the original manual for the jeep
Do miss the jeep but new ones are better and safer had 4 jeeps 53 69 74 93
In a jeep club for over 20 years
Great job on your CJ! Just wanted to let you know the larger turn signals in the grill and reflectors on the fenders started in 70.
Canadian 1970 CJ's had the reflector on the side of the hood.
Nice
Looks great nice job what break master cyclinder did you use and is there after market pedal linkage thanks
