In this video we go over the complete build and restoration of our 1981 Jeep CJ-7. This Jeep started its life with an AMC straight 6 that we removed and replaced with a Chevy 350 h.o. small block that makes around 350 hp and 400 foot pounds of torque. We also did a complete frame off restoration where we applied bondo to the floor, powder coated the frame, made custom side steps, bumpers, and roll cage for this Jeep. Finally, we completely rebuilt the fuel and brake systems as well as both the rear drum brakes and front disk brakes. We then installed a bestop soft top as well as some racing seats and harnesses.
The CJ is now completely done and road legal so be sure to subscribe for offered videos and more driving footage in the future.
Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe!

It's good to see young guys interested and capable in mechanical things. Your parents should be proud. Nice job also!

@MegaMayrarodriguez 3 года назад

I felt proud of them, and they're not even my children!!

Haters out because dad foot the bill. Like you wouldn’t give your kid everything you worked for. Don’t take out your failures on these dudes.

@georgerrmartin6712 6 лет назад

Gotta remember that alot of parents these days buy into the mentality of kicking your kids out at 18, they're gunna be salty to see the family unit working.

@matthewmaclauchlan1671 6 лет назад

I can only hope that my two boys grow up and want to restore a Jeep with me.

@colexxiii 6 лет назад

Matthew Maclauchlan exactly he could be giving this kid thousands to blow on Gucci and stupid stuff instead he’s learning valuable skills and bonding

@Ken19700 5 лет назад

The CJ7 had a small block V8 option from the factory so the 350 was a guaranteed fit.

@yellowjacket548 4 года назад

correct, it was a 304 if I remember correctly.

@Ken19700 4 года назад

@@yellowjacket548 Yes but I was talking about the 350 in this video. The AMC 304 is a good engine.

@pujabelgian 5 лет назад

You called a jeep a car!! That's a felony. Don't let it happen again. 😉 BTW.. Beautiful job!

@jdcapps21 6 лет назад

Those straight 6's from AMC were dope and plenty for these jeeps. Nice work though.

you did a real nice job...something to be proud of...it was nice watching the jeep getting built..its always nice to see young people get involved with a project like you did....hope you have a great time wheeling it...

@dng0077 7 лет назад

Fabulous job guys! We are restoring a cj7 too and your videos are being a very good guide for us! Very well explained and developed, step by step, Congratulation guys!

@JRGarage Год назад

Dang! Good stuff!

@garbinator09 5 лет назад

Well Done! I have often thought of trying a resto but, I get lazy and worry I will not finish it. It was neat to see friend’s become involved in the lifting heavy things department. The year model CJ also gives the option to excellent powertrain choices. Going with 33’s coupled with the Generals makes wonderful eye candy including good street manners and off-road performance.

@geoffersongeofferies477 5 лет назад

When I was their age....ummmm...I was watching TV and goofing around with nothing to show for it! Good on you! Beautiful job!

@flyinghog1223 6 лет назад

If I still had my old '84 CJ-7, I would have paid you to help with the restoration. Talk about talent and skill. I think I speak for everyone here, Well done young man!

@Rennsport911 6 лет назад

Just came across your channel. Amazing work man! This is exactly how i'd build one. I like how you didn't cut corners and did a quality job while still making it a very accessible build that isn't into the near 6 figures like many people end up doing.

@ram_diesel_power6039 4 года назад

That’s in rough shape 😹. I pulled my 73 cj5 out of the woods. The tub fell of it no fire wrench needed. Good video

@RaulRodriguez-bc1wi 5 лет назад

Damn nice Jeep, it’s cool that your dad is teaching what I think is the best hobby ever,,, restoring cars in the garage and talking about chics, and drinking when the camera is not recording.

This could be resold for a lot

@mcbridemotorsports 4 года назад

Great job man! Always excited to see others around my age interested in cars. It's a hard thing to come by now a days. Keep up the good work!

@jimmyvalhalla1939 4 года назад

I would only have done 2 things differently, this is not a rub against you guys!!! You did awesome. I would use that engine, but with a cam for low end torque, and I would have had the frame hot dipped galvanized instead of powder coated. This is an AWESOME JEEP!!

@isaiahgutierrez4669 6 лет назад

@eldesgraciado6690 5 лет назад

When I bought my JK in 2013, they had just come out with that color, but only on the 10th Anniversary Rubicon editions. I wanted it so damn bad on my Sport, but couldn't :'(

@johnwilliambaker395 6 лет назад

WOW. That's a really good job. I'm looking at doing something a little more extreme with my jku, but I'm pleasantly surprised by the lack of "specialty" tools that you needed to get this entire job done. The CJ looks amazing, ya'll did a great job. Congrats!

@gp500fan 5 лет назад

I know I'm a little late for the party, but what a beautiful Jeep and great build! These types of videos provide inspiration for what I might like to someday do with my '98 TJ project. For now, I'm just going to focus on getting it safe for everyday road use. Texas is also by far one of the best and friendliest states I've ever visited!! Cheers from Canada!!

Wow so clean definitely one of the better Jeep restorations I've seen. How much money was put into this?

@JerrSpud 5 лет назад

Restoration: the action of returning something to a former owner, place, or condition. "let's put in a 350 SBC and different tranny, cut the frame, I'm gonna put on different rear end, extra bars, different column and muffler and seats". I guess the tub is the only thing restored? Nice project though!

@karan1993ganotra 4 года назад

amazing car....in India we guys are also very crazy for such jeeps .We have mahindra thar here which carries exactly same bold looks. I guess mahindra launched thar internationally as Roxor not exactly thar but somewhere similar specs.

@diazesteban93 4 года назад

Awesome Jeep my man!

@Jeeptalkshow 4 года назад

You probably know this but fuel injection is prefered for off road as it keeps the fuel to the engine during extreme angles. Also side steps is just something to hang up on off road. Lots of good work there, nice job!

@jonathanphillips9504 4 года назад

HELL YEAH FELLAS! Just bought 79 CJ7. It needs a lot more work than that one haha. Rebuilt the carburetor (my first time i was a little worried), replaced the gas tank and hoses, fuel pump...smaller stuff. And of course it didńt crank. I got down on myself thinking ¨damn that was dumb to rebuild that carb¨. Come to find out, pinched a line mounting the gas tank back on. My carburetor work turned out ok! Íll send you guys some pics of it. Maybe we could do a collaboration on it haha. Or maybe yáll can give me some pointers. Great video for sure! Btw...not sure why my keyboard is in Spanish...more of a nuts and bolts kinda guy.

Hey to them haters... these boys are BUILDING A JEEP... how many teens do you know that can do that... this is talent at that age... besides... a 350 ?? That is a 1000 lb frame... gonna fly

@solomondye3693 4 года назад

This isn’t a restoration video, different engine from stock, and different transmission plus a paint job. I own a 1971 CJ5 and I completely rebuild the original engine the v6 dauntless 225 oddfire Engine by hand, original transmission, and paint job, every part is stock and if something was replaced it was replaced with stock parts, this is a disgrace to all “rebuilds”

Doing a quick restore to my 79 CJ7 I brung it from Arkansas Ozarks Southlake Norfolk when I sold my land and come to Southern Missouri 10 years ago been sitting out here in the yard for 10-years started up about once a year I just did a quick restore been working on it for about a month in the open-air she's looking good

@celticcraps 2 года назад

Hey. Hoping you get this. I'm on Leander just north of Austin. Have a 79 CJ7 I need to restore. It was my Dad's but it sat under an oak tree for probably 12+ years. I'd like to chat and talk with you if that's possible. Jim

Hi there, I have a 90 Jeep Wrangler that I’d like to restore. It was my first car so a bit nostalgic for me. I’d like to learn how to do myself like you guys. I’m a girl but don’t mind getting dirty. I learned how to do a tune up on it myself but that’s it. Any ideas on how I can learn? Was thinking about taking some mechanics courses but they are all geared to people who want to be full time mechanics...

@Honeybadgertacticalreviews 6 лет назад

Definitely my favorite color too!

@liammara3825 5 лет назад

Hey! Just bought a 92 Jeep Wrangler that hasn’t been running since 2014. Where do you suppose I start with fixing the engine. We got a new battery and have been thinking our main problem is the carburetor. Any advice ?
