I had the pleasure of seeing a 1948 CJ2A when I was a camp host in Utah. The family used it as an ATV to haul the grandkids around. So I have seen the 134 motor. Never had the luxury to see a CJ5 in petson. But this one is a beaut. ❤
In 1973 my Late Dad bought a 1969 Jeep CJ-5 from the original owner. It also had the Buick 225 V-6 and the Ramsey 8 thousand pound winch. But for the then 14 year old me .The coolest part was they had taken a altimeter out of a PBY Catalina Flying boat. It was in the dash next to the wiper switch. The Jeep also had a Warn Overdrive. Dad made a spare tire carrier for it that had the spare in the middle with two 5 gal. jerry cans on either side of the spare and it also had the aftermarket tank in the back like yours which holds 10 gal. So when we filled up everything it held 30 gals of gas. It was the car that I learned to drive a manual transmission in our church parking lot and the one that I took my driver's lic. test in and somehow scored 100%. My high school friends and I drove the wheels off that Jeep. It's been gone a long time now. And the anniversary of Dad passing is coming up real soon Feb. 15 ,2019. Mom passed away on May 28,2021. I miss the Jeep, but I miss Mom and Dad more everyday.
@@AllVehiclesGreatandSmall It still had the factory paint on it when Dad bought it. It was a IMO disgusting shade of Goldish/ Green that all of the car company's had a variation of back then. We painted it Yellow then the final color before Dad sold it was a Dark Jade green Metallic with a White hardtop just like the one on your Jeep.
I drove this generation Jeep in the 90s, only as the RHD, DJ-5 version operated by the USPS. Because the doors could be locked open in use, it was one of the few vehicles you could realistically run yourself over in! (No kidding, they told us all that as "encouragement" to always wear a seat belt...)
@@AllVehiclesGreatandSmall the movie slingblade at the beginning, it's a play on the way carl childers talks describing a farm implement he used in a double murder...im making a joke.
