Title: Old CJ5 build
Post by: crewchief22 on April 18, 2012, 09:49:12 PM

I've been collecting parts and working on this pos for about 10 years.  Wife is tired of me dragging my ass, so I'm trying to give a big push and get it together.  If I hurry I might finish it before my daughter gets her license  ;)

Not that I'm aware of  ;D

It's an old Koenig brand top that was available aftermarket.

Stock axles (27 front/44 rear).  I have a Tru-trac to install in the rear.  Shackle reversal kit on the front with Rancho springs.

Mostly a mild build with a big cage  ;)
