Jeep CJ 5 1979

Description

Get divorced, Jeep sits neglected. My poor Jeep. It's basically been sitting under a tarp for a couple years since my divorce. I had bought and re-built it for "family fun" but it kind of killed the marriage. I have wide track axles for it with Detroit locker in rear Amc 20 & Dana 30 1 piece W/3:11 gearing and am yet to install with a spring over. Currently running stock 20 &30 axle's with stock 3 speed transmission (Geared way too high for good off road.). I've decided not to mount the BFG MT's 35x12.50 I have and will probably go with a 33x10.50. The '78 AMC 360 has had a complete rebuild. Been bored 30 over with Comp cam, springs, time chains, etc., Edelbrock performer intake and Holly 650 off road carb (not on at time) See the 2 spare drive shafts? The built 360 is way too hard on stock shafts and will get a Tom Woods custom. Someday putting in a T-18 tranny with 6:1. Future, I am going to Durabak the exterior and repaint in camo again when I replace the fenders in fiberglass. Currently running 31x10.50's. Replaced the rotten frame with a heavy Matkins extreme frame. Had a 4 wheel drive hardware fiberglass tub when I bought it which I Durabak'd inside. Also have a Magnum (Warn) 9500 winch.
