What a beaut! Do you plan on putting a top on jane or leaving her topless?
I always got a kick out of those speedos. 90mph in one of these?I never wanted to drive my buddies over 45!!
She did come with a brand new Bestop soft top and we do plan on using it but we didn't want to install it until her paint fully cured. That won't be until mid February and by that time, we may not even need it until next winter. :crazyeyes:
As far as the speedo goes, I've gotten her up to 75 on the highway and she felt stable. 90 might be pushing it though :shock:

Nice job you guys. I like the sliders. Did you have to modify them much to get them to fit? will you be re mounting the winch?
Actually, what you're looking at is the factory cigar lighter. At least, that's what it's called in the FSM
Nope. They fit just fine along the sides but I did need to fashion a spacer to bolt it up to the bottom. We will for sure be reinstalling the winch but we'd like to get it cleaned up a bit first. :yup:

Haven't had too much of a chance to work on Jane but I was able to install a new tachometer. Couldn't find me an AMC one or at least, not as of yet but thought this was pretty close.
Do you have a pic of an AMC one so we can keep a look out?
Sent from my iPad using WAYALIFE mobile app
Yup, sure do and as it turns out, it's even on a CJ5 that's the same color as Jane.
I've seen them pop up on ebay from time to time but a good one typically sells for more that I've been willing to spend.

It's a pretty good match

Thanks. There are a ton of tachs out there but most were too modern or too shiny or to old looking or too hot rod looking. Most went up to 8k or more and some just looked way too cheap. Surprisingly, it was hard to find something as plain jane (no pun intended) as this.

I missed what kind it was
I like it and wouldn't mind one on my CJ7
Any info would be nice

Sorry about that, I suppose I did leave that bit of information out :crazyeyes:
I got a Auto Meter 2891 Performance Tachometer from Amazon
