A mans best friend, alwyas there to keep things in line or hold them together. A must in every emergency kit in every Jeep vehicle out there. They held my other cj`s body together sadly to say, but she was good to me and is now stripped down to the frame and ready to be sand-blasted and painted to start yet another project. : )

Please take lots of pictures ok? I R a publik skool gaduate. I'm going to TRY to remove all the zip ties from my rig as I go through. But yes, absolutely necessary for trail fixes and such... Nagal can attest to that on my rig.
Edit: I did some checking and see you have a 72 j-5... good, that will make it all the more interesting to see how similar our rigs are! Have you done any axle mods? I mean gone to wider axles or are you still running the narrow originals? I'm thinking that I need to do that right after that body work that NEEDS to be done.Last edited by USMC 0369; 12-22-05, 10:57 AM.[COLOR="darkred"]"Death Smiles at Everyone... Marines Smile Back."

Nope my 72 is almost all stock accept for a a little lift and some bigger tires, as far as my other cj it was a 73 i believe the body was metal and shot so I had decided to keep the frame, transmission, and tranfer case . The plan was to take it to the sand blaster and the put a 350 engine in it which I have, just not the time to do. In other words a frame up restoration. I bought both of the jeeps in plans to take them apart and rebuild one, i still plan to rebuild the 73 but am planning to sell the 72 as I need the money for a truck for the business. Im 14 so my knowledge of building is limited but if I do any major upgrades such as axles I will let you know how it turns out. **Planning to put chevy axles under the 73.....we will see what happens in time.......**someone buy my 72 so I can start on this other project!! : ) please.....lol
As far as body the 73`s body was old and rusty no use in trying to fix it id rather buy a new body- rhino line it and keep it for years. Which I plan to do on the 73.Last edited by JeepMudderKId; 12-23-05, 06:05 PM.
