In the third season of Iron Resurrection, episode 8 titled "Ramble On," the team at Martin Bros Customs takes on the challenge of restoring and customizing a 1974 AMC Jeep CJ5. The Jeep was named "Ramble On" after the Led Zeppelin song, and it is owned by a client who wants to give the car a new lease of life.
The Jeep is not in the best condition when it arrives at Martin Bros Customs, and the team has their work cut out for them. The vehicle has been sitting in a field for over a decade, and it is barely recognizable due to the rust and damage it has suffered over time.
The team quickly gets down to work, and the first order of business is to strip the Jeep down to its bare bones. They then assess the damage and start fixing and replacing the parts that are beyond repair. One of the biggest challenges they face is fixing the rust damage on the body of the vehicle. The team has to cut out the rusted metal and weld in new patches to ensure that the Jeep is structurally sound.
Once the bodywork is complete, the team moves on to the engine. They remove the old engine and replace it with a new, high-performance one. This not only gives the Jeep more power but also ensures that it runs smoothly and efficiently. The suspension is also upgraded to ensure that the car can handle any terrain it encounters.
Throughout the process, the team also works on customizing the Jeep to the client's specifications. They add new wheels and tires, a new paint job, and custom upholstery. The final result is an impressive off-road vehicle that is rugged and capable while also being stylish and unique.
In addition to the main restoration project, the episode also showcases some of the other projects the team is working on in the shop. We see them working on a 1967 Ford Mustang and a 1953 Studebaker that they are both restoring and customizing for clients.
Overall, the episode is a testament to the skills and expertise of the team at Martin Bros Customs. They take a battered and beaten Jeep and turn it into a stunning off-road machine. Fans of Iron Resurrection will no doubt appreciate the attention to detail and craftsmanship that goes into each project the team takes on.
