It was my daily driver until the JK came along. It sure is nice to have some room...

Fixed the link.

 

The old CJ... hated to sell it, I built this thing from the ground up, but with kids, I needed a family wheeler, that's why I have the 4 door rubi...

Stats were front and rear dana 60's, 107" Wheelbase, chevy 350 bored .040 over probably pushing around 400 HP, chevy SM465 tranny, dana 300, 39.5x13.50-17 Iroks on H2 wheels. 4 wheel disk brakes, a little of this, and a little of that

 

wow jeff that thing looks awesome. Did you say you were gonna restore the other one you have?

 

Yeah, pretty much, it's not going to be too extreme. Plans for it are a 4.0L stroked out to 4.7L, Front Dana 44, and rear ford 8.8, 4.5" RE Lift, 35-36" meats, although I have 2.5" BDS springs I was going to use in a spring over, but decided against it. Stock wheel base. The original plan was to outboard the front springs to accomodate the Waggy 44, but I have a Chevy 44 that I will have cut down so I won't have to ouboard the springs. The goal is to be able to put this thing back original If I want too, no frame mods or body mods. Hence the 4.7 stroker instead of a V-8 Conversion

 

Here's my CJ.

This picture is almost 20 years old. It would have been taken in about 1989. This is a 1977 CJ5 I drove for my senior year in high school and first two years of college. It had a 304 V8 and a 3spd. It had 3.54 gears , a 1 piece rear axle conversion, and a LSD. It also had a rebadged Warn 8274. The tires were 33" Powercats cleared by a 2" body lift and a add-a-leafs.

Oh the good old days...................
