1978 Cherokee 360 3 speed. Even still had the original 31 inch AT Tracker tires. Shag carpet baby! Seriously though, that was in there when I bought it. Crazy strong engine, super fun to drive... rusty but trusty. The pic is probably from around 1987.

I love it!!!

That was exactly the video I thought of when you said junkyard YJ!

The best I could manage in Southern Arizona.

I don't have an RV but do fantasize about getting one when I retire. I really like the Jayco/Seneca style freightliner conversions, It's kind of my ultimate dream vehicle. My work truck is the same cabstyle in a flatbed about the same length so I could step into it like driving my pickup. Would...

1979 CJ-5 with a 304 V8. Early in the build but coming along okay.

Thanks! I really wanted 15x10 vector wheels but they haven't been made for a very long time. Couldn't find any used. Some close in design, but not exact style I wanted and even those were really expensive. Like, stupid expensive. They made them for the F-150 and Bronco but that is my bolt...

Finally!!! Was able to move it outside to get some pics. Here are the details... 4" ProComp suspension lift and 1" body lift (still not quite finished with the minor stuff on either one but will get to it eventually). 15x10 US Mag wheels 3.5 inch backspacing. 1.5 Synergy spacers, this gives...

Welcome from Phoenix AZ! Even though there is really high number of JK and soon to be JL owners on here, we show a lot of love to older Jeeps. YJ's are really neat and look cool built up. For example, here is mine from many moons ago. Hope to see some pics of yours maybe in a build thread. Fast...

Really cool!

My 1/2 is rated for like 10,500 so I wouldn't have been worried about towing even my JK with it. But like I said above, trailer brakes are what make it possible to do. All go and no stop is scary. Like you said, with the weight in line and precautions taken, it's very doable.

Pre chip, however when my Cherokee was stolen the police said guys commonly show up in a tow truck and just hook up and go. Most times they don't even get out of the truck and it happens in less than a minute. Since it is a legitimate looking vehicle, no one questions it. Likely it isn't a real...

Good news, mostly. The box kit showed up a little bit ago. Did an inventory and all the parts are there, so tomorrow begins the install of the lift. Down side is only two of my tires showed up so far with the other two due in on Monday. Since the wheels are here (at Discount at least) I am...

Does look like a pretty good deal if you live out there and want a project. I have to laugh at the "recently tuned engine" part. Sure the spark plugs are new looking but I think there's more to it than that.:cheesy:

Good week for parts! Been a busy week on the parts end of things. Got the new steering wheel and adapter. All new knobs and misc. parts for the climate controls including lighted indicators. Picked up a new firewall seal for when the steering column shows up (supposed to be first week of...

I suppose I'd better post up the original milage of my 1979 CJ5 before it's too late. Unfortunately, while the mile accumulation is accurate (checked by GPS), the needle bounces around not really giving an true reading over 25 or so mph. The other two gauges don't work at all. I am replacing the...

Total street toy show truck. I sold the Jeep to finance the rest of the build on that one. (Yes, I'm a dumbass... or was at least) Took first place mini truck with it at the Jamboree nationals in spring of 96 and was a blip on Trucks and Tractor Power for TNN in my 15 seconds of fame in between...

I posted a couple of pics elsewhere on the site where it was pertinent, but I thought I should put a few of my old CJ5 in this thread. It is the reason I wanted another CJ and one of the only vehicles I've owned that I wish I'd never sold. It was a 77 with a fiberglass body and fenders, steel...

Congrats on the new soon to be arrival!

This thread reminds me of when I was a kid, maybe 12 years old. My buddy's dad dropped me off after some Michigan trail riding. I thought that old 74 Blazer was the coolest thing ever. We had a dirt and gravel driveway and the Blazer left a great big ol' Gumbo Monster Mudder track. I bugged my...
