Great work gentlemen 🔧👍
Just got finished watching you stiger video haha
I am relatively new to your channel, but I am totally in awe at the work you do. To get these old cars running as quick as you do is a real talent. Thank you for bringing your skills to KZhead.
Hello Americans! I'm in Brazil- see what I bought from the Brazilian Army! youtube: Motor home relic of war. Em português: Motor Home relíquia de guerra
Thank you for producing content like this. I love seeing old Willy’s being brought back to life!
My Dad had 2 willys panel vans wish I had one of them now

I have a comment about your ghostbuster Hearst it really more incoming with another hearst from the state of Texas . Your hearst looked like the Hearst the took JFK from the hospital in Dallas to the airport he was shot in 1963 but the funeral home that sold the casket for transport just bought a brand new 1964 Hearst that was almost identical to yours before you chopped it up to the ghostbuster. The real hearst was sold at Barret Jackson auction. There is a You Tube channel called (Ask a mortician) that shows several pictures of that car a tells a pretty wild story of what happened that day. One of the crazy things that day the secret service basically stold the Hearst and took JFK to the airport. So I think your Hearst is a ghost busters plus

Ain't nothing better than a Willys brought back to life! She just fired up like she was waiting for you guys! Cold War Era soldier like her deserves a good new life. If you do a Part 2, I for one would love to see her some more. Great job, Gentlemen!!!
Glad to see that old Willys Jeep up and running again!!! There's something about these old Jeeps I always admired!!! They served our country well!!!! Hope to see more about this Jeep.. Great job guys!!!
I really enjoy these videos, You two gentleman are tenacious in navigating through the challenges of getting these long dormant, stuck engines running again. Your videos are super enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great content/work.
Man, you guys do amazing work! I never cease to be amazed how you get a completely locked up engine not only unstuck but actually running and driving! Great job as always!!!
You guys work great together. You share the love of resurrecting old vehicles with the same passion. Thanks for taking us along on the ride.
It does my heart good to see a son and father work so well together. Keep these videos coming because they are enjoyed by so many of us.
It’s an absolute pleasure to watch you and your Dad work as a team. Love it. Great job. Keep up the great work.
My dad had a 1953 Willys Overland wagon with the 4 cyl. F-head motor like yours. Also 3 speed & twin stick transfer case. Almost every week-end during summer months towed a trailer heavily loaded with tree branches & logs. No problem!
It's amazing you guys bringing that mechanical marvel back to life and bringing us along on the journey. Great content!
My granddad had one we used on the farm but to see one that hasn't been converted for Farm use that is really cool
What a blessing to have your Dad working with you. Knowadays that's a rare thing. You guys are awesome, love the content. Keep em coming!!!
It must be awesome to work with your dad. Mine has been in heaven for a while and I wish every day he was still here god bless u guys
My 79 year old grandfather watches your videos and he's the reason I know about y'all. We love to watch you guys together and we cheer on every motor that turns over. God bless and keep the amazing content coming.
Get her back on the road, these are golden to most veterans
One of the greatest cars have been made, Congratulations
I can’t believe that it didn’t smoke . All the rust made me worried. Keep up the good work and god bless.
Old Jeep vids of jeep restore make me want an older one good old American beasts!!!!
that old flat fender jeeps never ceases to amaze you in how tough they really are,awesome to see another "survivor" brought back to running and driving condition!!
This really brings back some memories. In the 70,s I owned a 1946 cj2a f head. I drove that little burger everywhere. Sold it to a farmer that used it to pull a hay wagon. Loved it, wish I still owned it. Thanks for the memories. Love the channel. I'm in my 70's now, but I ain't forgot her.
Thank you guys for fight with this old Jeep. I first my military service with this vehicle in service. I hope you restore it.
The old pastor here again. I almost got a CJ3B from my uncle a few years back. Wish I had gotten it after watching this. You fellers are so blessed to get to do this!!
Love watching you an your father working on cars. Enjoy him while you have him. I lost my buddy we done everything together like you guys. Much respect an love for you guys for the great content
Wow what a great job guys! As stuck as it was, it popped right off and sounds good. That's actually a nice looking old rig for sure. Somebody is going to want her.
Think it was another working a miracle. Getting this old Jeep going again. You men know your stuff. And think after you do the transmission. It is a very restorable. Don’t know how much work the brakes will be. Like you said as of late it’s tested your patients unsticking these engines. Enjoy always the work. God Bless y’all!
I wish me and my Dad could work as well together. I have a hard time Keeping my mouth shut when I ought to. Greatest job on the Willy’s.
I don't need a Jeep like that, BUT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED ONE!!!!! "Restored" is the only right thing to do!
That raucous clunky ride sounded so good to the soul. The car that zoomed by, he may be fast but he ain't having fun the way you did. Jeep people are the nicest people you can meet, wherever you go. God bless y'all.
I like when ya'll do Jeeps. I just bought an old Jeep. Bullet proof and there is a brotherhood of Jeepers
Never underestimate a Jeep in love.
Guys, you can't imagine how I share the same happiness when you put that "little engine that could" back to life.
Thank for doing this. That was the 1st vehicle I drove in my 32 year Army career. It was awesome seeing it come alive again.
This is a good looking jeep. If it were me. I think this is something that deserves to be restored. It should be a very profitable project.
Just all around impressed 👌. Watching how you unlock another block that's been sitting for years. Thank you for sharing, you guys are awesome.
As a Former ARMY TANKER. i loved this.
Wasn't aware the valves were split between the head and block. Great job getting it running!
This motor was called the f head. It was an overnight, head designed to fit the flat head motor, 1/2 the valves overhead, more horsepower. It transitioned willeys/ overland flathead to ohv. This was done while Keiser owned Willeys jeep.
Your smile as you drove around said a lot! Nice job, fellows.
Love what you guys do. Awesome jeep. Can't wait for the next journey on the jeep. Keep up the awesome work.
Nice to see y’all Lance & family. Unforgettable memories of our Willys in Cuba decades ago. To my knowledge that front end was made until 1954. Cheers from California to Bogata, Texas.
CJ 3B is my favorite Willys jeep of all times. Great job guys.
Army Vet here and I have ridden in a bunch of these. Great job on the video. 👍
You guys are awesome I really enjoy watching you work together I'm impressed you got that jeep running when it was locked up I knew you was going to have to pull the hat off but it looks like it went pretty well seems like it runs awful good for that cylinder being as croat as it was but looks like you got the range freed up and everything I think you got a winner again I really enjoy watching you guys I'm proud of you how nice it is to be able to work with your father and to get along like that I wish my dad was like him we worked on a lot of stuff we had a junkyard but we sure didn't work like you guys
hey guys,i am on my wifes channel,but after wrenching for 60 years i have found that marvel mystery oil works better than anything else,just saying.god bless. ty santee
You know I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now and enjoy the content you and your father put out. But most of what I enjoy is how well both of you get along. I miss those times with my father. We didn’t work on on car’s as neither one of us was mechanical inclined. As my father was a painter. I didn’t like painting but I enjoyed the time with him. Great video
Thank you, you two gentlemen are awesome..keep up your good work God bless from Fiji 🇫🇯
Lovin this channel guys. You are awesome.
I have a 54 3B and I love driving it. I decided one Jeep wasn't enough. I decided to build a WWII Jeep. It's 42 Ford GPW and it has been a ground up rebuild with everything missing from it. After 5 years of work I can now drive it around sitting on a wood seat frame I built. I will be putting the body on it in the next month or two. Just about everything has been done by me with exception to rebuilding the axles with NOS ring and pinion and the engine that is a CJ engine for the time being until I can get a GPW motor rebuilt (no rush). I want to enjoy the Jeep.
I've never grinned so much watching a video as I did watching you do crop circles in that Ol' Willys Jeep after you got it running! Really enjoyed watching you and your Dad bringing that Old Gal back to life!!!
That was cool to hear it start and run... wow i havnt seen anyone do the back and forth on a car since my grandpa that brought back memories of working on old cars with him.... thanks U and dad always bring smiles to me with ur videos
Have a 53 Willys pickup with the 134F head that was stuck as well. I also had to remove the head and gently beat a block of wood to unstick it. It had water in the 4th or rear cylinder. I ended up rebuilding a different F head motor and am in the process of having the transmission and transfer case redone. I figured might as well address what I would no doubt have to deal with eventually anyway. When I drained the transmission/transfer case there was minimal fluid and it didn't look good. Hopefully have it under it's own power this summer. You rapping on the block of wood brought a smile to my face. unfortunately the 4th cylinder wall was too pitted.
great job well-done guys glad to see the little jeep is running again
Sweet! Looking forward to seeing more of this one.
Great job! You guys are truly persistent. Fun to watch you work.
Lance I hope you realize the ways you are touching people...watching this episode brought back so many memories of my Grandpa.... He had an Army issued Willies. All the unit marking were on it, push button start, No roll bar, bolt plat between the seats for a Ma Duce....it was the most fun to riding around Topnibee Michigan. He'd be chomping on a cigar; With a big grin on his face, the same grin you had while driving. 'You boys hold on...Willy's known for tossing passenger's" my brothers and I spent three weeks with he and my grandma up north Michigan on mullett LK Wednesday evening going to church, Sunday church, then lunch, ripping around in the willies. The absolute best part; my brothers and I learned how to drive in the willies After he passed, his estate gave the willies to the local Christian Camp....over the winter when the camp was at minimum staff, the jeep was stolen. Grandpa, always parked it in his service garage; "This is the easiest truck to hot-wire' You will need the lock the windscreen down. else-wise you'll need tempered glass cut for replacement....Don't ask me how I know...
Yes, the legendary Jeep of wars is still working to this day
Dad's face when it fired right up, priceless!!!
Great video! Thanks for saving these old gems. With all the stuck engines you’ve had lately, you should consider getting a bore scope and taking a look at the inside of the cylinders before starting work.
I love the simplicity.
Ever since I was in the Army, I've always wanted to get one of them old Jeeps
In the early sixties, i've had memorable experiences with the willys jeep. Our grandfather use to drive us at the heart of manila every weekend. It was fun, wc is why i am very fascinated with your work. Bringing to life this old but unforgettable piece if great invention is just amazing. Thanks for sharing your talents and wits.
Thank you for the awesome content look forward to seeing more of the Willy
Great job! This is an awesome Jeep!! Thank you for taking us along!!!
You guys are the champions of stuck engines, I love the unusual vehicles you choose for your videos great job.
Absolutely amazing what you guys can do. Love the new gas cap!
I like the talk through with the little video snippets that show it being done so we can see it happen at the speed of speech. Great idea to keep the interest level up
I love those old Willys jeeps, and it is so good to see it running. I would love to get my hands on one.

when I was a young man I seen a brand new one at a car dealership in Vancouver B.C. - It was bright red and what a beauty. Wish I had the money to buy her - if I had her now she would be my most prized possession.
Thanks for the new video guys. I've been checking for one, been needing my Restore fix! 🙃
Great content as usual from you two, loved the video and your problem solving is interesting glad you think out loud. God Bless you both, he’s watching also hope he keeps the family safe.
I must have missed this one so good to see you guys have a win 👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing and your appreciation
Great Vidio Lance & Wyatt..... You guy's are the very best! I have faith in all your projects! Thank You guy's!
Id make that my daily. I love old vehicles and driving them brings back old times and memories!
That’s pretty cool, glad you got that old Willy running! 🥰👍🏻
Thank you for your work in producing your videos. Watching all the way from Australia 🇦🇺 I love that old Jeep
Awesome job on this jeep. I just recently found your channel and I really enjoy the content you put out. You do a great job of explaining your processes and your camera work is really good with the combo of head mounted point of view and full field. Thanks for doing it right.
I use "Eastwood's" rust remover to break engines free. It works wonders. I've had Jeeps since I was 12 years old.
Great job fellas. Restore it .
Love your faces when it fired right up. Looks like you guys were having a blast tooling around in it!
I've learned a lot watching you guys. Thanks.
A perfect candidate for a little V-6. They fit in there just great.
Loved this one. It broke loose without having to remove the engine this time. The wood block and moving the breaker pipe on crank worked good. Going to try this method on a Susuki 2 stroke outboard motor that a friend gave up on.
I was just smiling to whole way at the end of the video wtahcing you have fun riding the willys! Thank you for the work you put into those videos!!
It’s great to see the Willy’s run and drive. That engine fired right up on the first try.
Great start on getting this one up and running!
That smile says it all.
Love those old jeeps ,yes,i would like to see this old girl brought back to life to her Sunday best,God Bless.
Awesome little jeep . Thanks for sharing and hope to see a update on it. Thanks again for sharing 👍🖐
Im so glade to see the old flat fender high hood been saved the cj3b is very sentimental to me i grew up on a big farm and had one for farm use it was pretty ruff like yours but one year lighting struck the tobacco barn and it was gonna be a ruff year my dad had to sell it but that old cj3b always stuck with me
Love that y'all do this as family god bless ya'll
I started my professional mechanics in 1970 after graduating from Nashville Auto Diesel College and in all my years I have tried many penetrating oils and hands down Gibbs is the best I’ve ever used, it will actually climb up hill to get to rust , it’s expensive but worth every penny. Good luck I do enjoy watching especially the respect you and your dad show each other. God Bless you all.
Very enjoyable to watch. I really hope yall will go right anong without hesitation and fix the transmission while showing details when doing it. I wonder what the trouble of the rattling is and how y'all fix it. Thanks Phillip Hall
You fellas may think about specializing in unlocking seized motors. You both are getting really good at knowing exactly what to do in treatment methods. Great job!
Nice job guys, at least it runs now. A few more bits and pieces before it's back on the road again.
No better way for us old mechanics to stay in shape then crawl around under cars. Love your content and enthusiasm to save the old relics. Thanks for bringing us along on your adventures.
Thanks 👍
