S6E6 How to Swap a Barn-Find Willys Jeep Wagon Onto a Wrangler YJ Chassis
Episode Overview
Fred Williams’ 1961 Willys Wagon, discovered in a garage and sidelined due to faulty brakes and an aging engine after a previous swap, is finally getting the attention it deserves in this episode of Dirt Every Day, presented by Tire Rack. In a surprising twist, the Dirt Heads remove the Chevy LS V-8 and decide to transfer the entire Willys onto a damaged Wrangler YJ frame and drivetrain, aiming for a more dependable retro ride. The crew dedicates most of the episode to working in the shop, crafting and modifying to revive this classic Jeep just in time for summer adventures.
