Jeepers

Coolest thing my '56 CJ5 has done so far is sit and wait patiently for me to get around to fixing it up. Sat right there for 30 years. Still waiting for me, I really need to get off my ass and finish it. The chassis is nearly done, I just need to install the brake m/c and bracket, then plumb the brake lines, and find a place to store the chassis while I work on the engine/trans/t-case. Put the drivetrain into the chassis and back into storage, and the bodywork can commence. I really need a bigger place where I can work on it. This photo was in my dad's electrical business shop, back in OK. My dinky little 18x18 garage just don't cut it.



It's really in damn good shape for 56 years old, I'm trying to restore it back to 100% new condition and nearly original, but with much better brakes, steering, and electricals. Also have a brand new white Kayline top just like this one, still in the box. Bought it from some guy that was cleaning out an old Jeep dealership in CA, it had been sitting on a shelf forever, Kayline's been out of business for many years. And I have a steel halfcab for it too.

Got some original seats, including a rear seat, and original 16" steel wheels. Going back with skinny 6" tires like they came with, it's just going to be used for scenic trail rides, you guys can have the rock crawling stuff.

Brought it to CO at Xmas, 2004. This was its first bath in over 30 years.



Also scored this ultra-cool and uber-rare venting windshield for it. These things are damn hard to find and big bucks! I got it from a guy that traded me even-up for my stock windshield, because he was tall and this was hard for him to see out of. Needs restoring, but it's not rotted, rusted or damaged, and I've already got new rubber gaskets for it. Just needs blasting, painting, and new glass.

Man, you got a beautiful classic rig there and it's just sitting there? You'll get her up and running eventually.

Had a Geo tracker and a sidekick. Definitely can take a beating. Ifs and lack of aftermarket support kills them. My 95 tracker lsi had a calmini 3" lift and was locked front and rear. For only havingg 31" tires it was pretty beast

I thought real Jeeps were supposed to have an obligatory amount of rust. I haven't seen any rust yet! I'll fix that deficit. Here's my wifey's '81 Scrambler.

There's some sweet jeeps here but I'm still glad I'm the only Toyota guy in this thread

I'd post a pic of my Tacoma, but it would get Suspension Envy, compared to yours!

Your tacoma is nice, all we'd have to do is SAS it and you will get that articulation!!!

As soon as I can get my Porsche sold I'll be joining you Jeepers ... going to hunt down a nice (but not too nice) CJ2,3 or early (preAMC) CJ5. Something like rondog's would be about perfect.

May not be a Jeep but it's still a cool rig and looks like a lot of fun!

Articulation is for pussies and people with nearly full drinks!
