I Bought a 1955 Willys Jeep CJ-5! Part 3 - Clutch, Brakes, & FIRST Test Drive

1955 CJ5 Jeep Project – Part 3: Clutch, Brakes, Coolant & First Drive! In this episode, I adjust the clutch pedal for better engagement, go through a full brake inspection and adjustment, and top off the brake fluid. I also drain the old coolant and fill the system with fresh antifreeze, followed by a full chassis lube. After all the work is done, we take this classic Jeep on its very first 12-mile test drive! I share how it handled, what went well, and what still needs attention — including some mystery rattles and future upgrades like seat belts and an overdrive unit. This one’s a big step forward for the CJ5!
