CJ-5

A mix of 60's through 1971. D44 flanged rear with Detroit limited slip. D30 disk brake front axle. 34x9.50r15 Super Swamper TSL on AR-767 black steels. Full rollcage. Planing to put a black diamond 3' lift in her this year to get it back where it belongs. The current springs are very tired. I get a lot of strange looks in town with it. At Jeep Jamboree's some people like the old school of the CJ5 and some laugh at me because she is old and looks a little rough but they don't laugh so hard when I am pulling out there 50K + built rig out of the mud.

Rebuilt 360 with a T18 and D20.
3" lift on 33x9" swampers

A comfortable ride with all the amenities that the modern Jeeper has come to expect. Well, not exactly. "Spartan" is a comment I've heard. "Old School" is another. "May I please get out?" is yet a third. This IS your father's Jeep. The ride is more or less akin to a buckboard wagon's. You never wonder whether your front driveshaft is turning because you can simply look through the hole in the floor and watch it. When I'm on trail rides, I notice the guys love it, but the women . . . not so much (that would include my wife, too).
