willys jeep cj-2a in snow

[jeep2003]

4 cylender flathead 134 ci with a 3 speed transmission and high low transfer case. The same basic transmission and transfer case were used from the begining into the 70s. the flathead 4 was phased out in the early50s for an overhead valve design based on the flathead which was also used into the 70s

[sokodad]

What did they have for engines? Six cylinders? 4 speed gearbox? I know very little about them.

[gordo29]

you gotta love that sound

[qmp5]

[MrRnizio1]

damn that's some nice property

[jamesgot88]

it's a tractor !!!!! my god !!!! woooooow |||

[kirk0respite]

lock those axles ...................

[csxgk94]

how much did ya get all of it for?

[jrmdodge1]

nice jeep, wanna build one like that when i get older. about how much did it cost you to do all that to it? if you dont mind me asking

[lukestevens7]

how much and how hard is it to do a spring over lift

[ProfessorGravy]

How much of a lift does it have?

[jeep2003]

@ProfessorGravy Its got a spring over lift so its about 6" maby a touch more

[lukestevens7]

@jeep2003 hey how do you do a spring over lift and how much does it cost

[Copperswilly]

I have a 54 cj3b...i wish I had a place like yours to drive it around

[BADRAD45]

every man needs a willys jeep. your engine sounds good.

[greatbignutsack]

Those other guys are nuts. This jeep looks perfect. What engine do you have in it?

[RangerMJMarsh23]

WHY?? you have to original with a jeep like that, if wanna do aftermarket stuff get a cj5 or something, And Btw the top safe speed is like 45 mph after that it gets bad for the jeep

[lackawannakid]

Yeah,

And those tires are too wide.

[TJvigilante]

@RangerMJMarsh23 the point of having a Jeep is doing what you want to with it. What does it matter to you what he does with his own property, as long as he's enjoying himself?

[MrBlueyedevil]

nice willys. only 4 things wrong with it.

[anonymoususerindenve]

Hey, what steering did you put on there, and what brakes? I have a '51 3A and the 9" originals are atrocious. I have the original steering and it's ok, but would consider something easy to install. Any chance you can pass along some tips if you've done the brakes?

Thanks!

[97jeepwranglertj]

Nice Jeep.

[kawasaki95431]

Nice jeep! need some lockers tho. our jeep is similar but it has a longer custom frame built by proto-fab, FJ axles w/ lockers and a chevy 350. those are tall tires, we only run 33's what size are those?

[BeboAltizer]

what size tires are on that?

[chicago85bearz]

wow, nice cj.

[j33pcraz3]

awesome jeep, got a 48 2a completely rebuilt seeing the trail for the first time this saturady...ill post some vids.

[johnnyramone14]

awesome jeep

[hadd13]

great looking old school jeep

[jeeperallday23]

your not getting any traction in the snow with those wide tires...try a skinnier pair man

[tommartyn]

true true :)

[Righty736]

Did that have the Flathead 4 or the Lhead 4?

[8x56]

The 2a had the flat head which Willys called the L-head. The over head valve(intake only) was called the F-head. Confusing ain't it.

[Righty736]

I always thought the half/half was called Lhead. So I asked if it has the same engine haha.

[92XJlaredo]

nice old jeep man, reminds me of going down the highway at 55mph in my XJ in 6 or 7 inches of snow, passing everyone stuck in the ditch, in full time 4 wheel...is it just me or do most jeeps perform best in the snow? O|||||||O

[huntingking223]

how fast can it go?

[chicago85bearz]

who cares its a jeep

[tommartyn]

hey! :) i the redline is near 3000 so i think below 50 is probably the safest top engine speed. the engine in mine was blown up in 1973 or 4 by a guy doing 60 with it up the road. :) though that might not always break them.

[ggakahagasan]

I'm jealous..

[cebu2010]

Me too...... wish i keep my cj-5......huhuuhh

[colbycous01]

its a work of art, just beutiful. our military jeeps werent made to back up, just forward,, towards the enemy. as you see.

[7356205]

also did you have to change the steering when you lifted it? what kinda work did you do to lift it? and did the stock driveline work?

[jeep2003]

Its mostly stock axles brakes and springs are stock but i did a springover. I havnt done lockers yet but id like to. Thats kind of catch 22 though because ill probrobly break them then and i was going to swap them out if i break them but they havnt broke yet.

[lainwate]

Is that the factory 4 cyl motor and trans/transfer? I've always loved the cj2s and 3a's, you've got a very nice looking one.

[7356205]

what kinda mods were done? did you change the axles, brakes? lockers? how big are those tires? and did you put power steering in that beast?

[jeep2003]

As for the steering i had it stock but with a lowered bellcrank and that worked ok but i had all the parts to do a saganaw swap and crossover steering so thats what i have now no power steering but its not bad. 35x12.5-15 tires. I had to mix and match driveshafts from other models but i have no idea what i ended up with but it works.

[exonei]

pretty low gears there mate

[blondguy2581]

i like what you have done with your ol' willys.

[mcsayles]

last time i checked the Flat head, that was in a cj-2a had 60hp... but that's just technical!

[54blueflamesix]

75-hp thats all you need and right gearing-great-

video--

[gordo29]

man i love the sound of that jeep!

[iq3d]

is ur a rare or copy

[8x56]

You can have a lot of fun with just 75hp.

[tommartyn]

60 :)

Which beats out my 86 diesel jetta's 52. :)

[metalrulesemoblows]

how are finding the parts for those?? im probably getting one but im worried about availability of parts...nice rig though

[jeep2003]

dont worry. you can get almost every part on these old jeeps new. Theres one main suplier omix-ada that suplies all of the retail distributors. parts are no problem. Good luck :)

[Jeeprock3]

yes stock includes 4x4 btw nice video

[moonwalker2255]

does stock include 4x4?

[vavom]

o you got to love the sound of one of those

[bigbadreine]

how much do one of those cost?

[jhghj]

$400 to 20,000 depending on condition. you can get a good stock running one for $1000
