Quick detachable sway bars, KC lights and Karr light bar.
She is 7 feet from the ground the the top of the lights and runs like a bat out of hell. You need ear plugs with the dual exhaust and the tires!:evilb: |

Was in the market for one and had been talking to HaulinVols who is also a Jeep freak and thought I would buy a TJ and put one of my 500 EFI motors in it. Then I found a young fellow who was going in the Navy and had this one that he wanted out from under fast. He had invested over $20K in it and lets just say I got it for the price of the lift kit and the wheels and tires! It was on eBay with no reserve and no one bid against me! |

sure looks like a dana 35 in the rear view picture to me. lota work to narrow them up too, cause they are same width as jeep not 3/4 ton width. nice jeep though
|
I have to agree. Defiantely looks like a dana35 to me. 3/4 ton axles aren't 5 lug either. Still a nice jeep.

Hey dock, welcome back to the jeep family. Here is some shots of my old junk. The boat would look good going down the road behind this.
74 CJ-5 I did a spring over conversion and swaped in Scout 2 Dana axles. 2.5 inches wider per side, 4.27 gears and a powerloc in the rear. http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/q...epsept1992.jpg I wanted more height and stability so I swapped to taller springs and went to wider 3/4 ton axles heavy 44 up front and a corp 14 in the rear http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/q...2e/fall934.jpg Then all hell broke loose. More spring arch, more lift, a built 406 and 44s. This thing is still in my basement in various pieces. I will get it back out some day. http://i448.photobucket.com/albums/q...w2e/indy04.jpg |

You are the man that is a wide and crazy Jeep! I'm glad to be back in the family for sure it's been too long and I don't plan to be Jeepless again. I had a 78 CJ5 with with a factory 304 that was basically stock and very rough. Then I had a 1984 CJ7 Renegade that I wish I had never sold. That was a great Jeep. Then I found a new 1989 that the dealer wanted to get rid of real bad because the folks buying wanted the 4.0 fuel injected instead of the 258 carb six and I had that Jeep looking very nice and was able to get almost all my money out of it. A couple of years later I bought a V-8 Upcountry Cherokee which was nice but just not the same as the short wheel base open top bad boys. Take care Dock |
