I just bought a 1973 CJ5 last week, so finding a channel where someone is working on the exact same vehicle I am. Looking good so far, and I am looking forward to future videos.
You are a Genius. I absolutely loevd your video. Your Jeep is great and I apprciate your honesty on handling, and things you would improve. Thanks to you, I will be able to improve my Jeep CJ 5 issues. Appreciate your video much!
Awesome build but if you drive old vehicles you have to work on em If you off road em you have to work on em.........in my humble opinion It's worth every penny
I've read ALOT of horror stories with the reproduction tubs. I need a late CJ5. You said it all lined up decently. So all the body mounts lined up well? Just looking for feedback as I need to order a body as well. Thanks
Looks like the body need to be positioned forward about an inch and a half. The centerline of the wheel well and tire centerline don't match up, so... I could be wrong but looks like a lot of rubbing is going to chew up your back tire, yo.
I want to own a CJ5 so bad. I also live in Minnesota so it’s truly an inspiration to see someone actually own one in the harsh conditions this state can throw at you. Keep up the awesome videos man.
Good morning. Great project, looks very good all over. Question: will it be possible to get a few pictures of the clutch linkage? I’m trying to put my 74 CJ5 together but cannot figure out how to reinstall the clutch system. Greatly appreciated (818) 645-4525. Congratulations on your great project
I have a '72 I'm getting prepared to rebuild after sitting for about 10 years. Going to be doing some similar things to it, definitely 35s (up from 33s), replace the lifts, and can't decide to rebuild the original 304ci or go with a Chevy small block and either go with paint or something like the Rhino/Raptor liner.
one of the best things you can do is get the parts and weld or bolt bracket onto frame and get rid of the silly cable clutch they put in ‘72 and install linkage. mine snapped too many cables but was great for years after that. i’m just now building a ‘74 factory 304
Hand it down to your kids in 50 years. Sure , the way your generation votes it will be a doorstop. No gasoline, all petroleum banned, harm to the environment just from farting....good luck with that.
