Ever see a $120 Jeep CJ7? Well, you have now. Of course, a couple of years, and thousands of dollars from now, she'll be looking way better, oh and running too. Here's the story. I picked up a 1980 Jeep CJ7 this week that I intend to build as an adventure/overland rig. My skills are...

I need a softer ride for my '79 CJ5 that came with an owner fabricated SOA lift and Dodge truck D44 and Chrysler 9.25 axles. I have pretty bad back issues due to an IED attack on my last deployment. As far as I can tell it is using the stock CJ springs. I've been researching a coilover 3...

Looking for ideas for my first major project. I need to get the t-case in my CJ5 back up where it belongs. The builder lowered the ass end of the engine, and now the t-case too low. It may have worked for him on the sand dunes, but it won't work for me on trails through the woods. Looking for...

Designing the perfect tire has eluded tire makers for decades, because no one tire can truly do everything well. I want an all terrain tire because like most people, most of the miles I drive are on paved roads. I need good snow traction as well. However, I also want a mud terrain, because...

People like photos, so I'll start out with one. Got my new (to me) 1979 Jeep CJ5 today. This is my 3rd CJ5, but the last one I had was when Regan was in office. I decided to start my build thread on the same day I took delivery, but please do not expect a complete build in a short time...

Old guy buys an old Jeep. I've had 2 CJ5s in the past, (back before the internet) and am getting back into a CJ5 once again. Having been in large trucks (Suburban, Super Duty) for years, I'm looking forward to a smaller package that will get me in more places. My wife (of 21+ years) doesn't like...

The last time I had Jeeps they were both CJ5s, and both before there was an internet... I'm getting back into the off road world with another CJ5. I have been in large trucks for quite a spell. (Suburban & Super Duty) Just found a young man willing to take payments on a '79 CJ5. I'm U.S. Army...
