Yup! everyone's right and you get to ferret out an answer. The D35's FIRST weak point is the C-clip axles just won't take larger tires and a heavy foot. Going to a "SELECTABLE" locker as suggested above is reasonable if you can afford another $300 or so to upgrade the axles to Superior or...

My "cocopuf" as my wife calls it - 76 CJ5 long list of upgrades, at least the sheetmetal is original.

Wise advise... early CJ5 + short wheelbase x speed = bad Juju

Ditto.......I understand that there is a plastic...gizmo that wears easily and allows the linkage to slip out of adjustment or even fall out. Couple year ago I had to pull a YJ out of a creek crossing for this reason, no 4x when he need it.

No they are not the same engine, AMC vs Chrysler, they can be swapped, they are not a bolt up but there are adapters and many articles on how-to. There are articles about how to put a 4.0 head on a 4.2 for more power but requires some mods, not sure on which manifold fits what. But (always a...

A SOA requires purchasing parts, welding, re-aligning and a whole host of other dynamics that can be dangerous if not done right. Spring wrap on the rear axle (as it broken parts) and caster/steering on the front and driveline angles on both being the primary issue. If you choose this please do...

I don't believe so, if you have stock suspension it is spring UNDER now and blocks will lower it not raise it. Your options are a kit, add-a-leaf, or spring-over conversion. A kit being the easiest and most reliable option. At only 2 inches all you should need ar the springs, the stock shocks...

As you can see the answer is.....it depends. How tall are you - CJ5 is tight but can be modified. How old are you - CJ5 is a PITA to get into and out of if your stiff or round (like me). How good are you with a wrench - IT'S A JEEP you have to know what you are gettin into.... What are your...

Well you're sorta both right. Bantam was the original design, the Gov't went to bid, Willys and Ford stepped up and ... Well heres the clip: ------- The Bantam was considered too high off the ground and under powered. The Willys Quad had a more powerful engine but was far too heavy. The Ford...

I was there a couple years ago. I went with the small ones because they were already on the axle. I also upgraded the front to the "matching" disk brakes, not. They didn't balance right, too much front not enough rear. So without playing with the proportioning valve or other hydrolics I just...

You didn't say 2 barrel or 4. If its still the stock 2 barrel it should be a motorcraft 2100 or 2300. You can get these rebuilt from any parts store or go to a Pick and Pull for a decent one off an old ford 302 or amc v8 just check the numbers on the side of the float bowl - 1.08 or 2.03...
