Oh man ! I could cry just looking at what a great find/deal you got ! You are one lucky guy ! CJ's must grow on trees where you are ! That's like the the jeep I've always wanted ! Funds are low , but I cannot stop wishing ! Definately want to follow up on your build !

Thanks! Yea there quite a few up here...cheap too I was looking at a few between 71-80 top price $2500.., Chose this one mainly because of the fiberglass...last one was a rust pit!!

Heres a little taste 76 dj5 converted...

Looks like you've got a great Jeep for a great price!! What are your plans for the new toy??

Thanks, yea it's in great shape...thinking keeping it at the height it's at now(I like the stance) and I'm prolly just gonna give it a good cleaning (wires and such) and a good paint job and have some fun with it....maybe down the road when I get another I will make one only a trial jeep

Has that got the 6 cyl 232 engine? Yeah that baby looks sweet just the way it sets.

I am extremely confident that you will never part with such a fine vehicle , but if that climate ever changes , please remember us poor underprivileged orphans whom are jeepless and have never experienced the joy a beautiful shiny CJ5 will bring to their lives

P.S. - I've got to say , your DJ5 project is coming along and looks like you've got the rust under control . Good job brother ! &#55357;&#56397;
