No one recognizes this Jeep?

[timmy]

How strong are those Volvo portal axles? If you don't have actual torque ratings, how about an best-guess comparison to say, a Dana 44 or Ford 9" (or whatever)?

They are strong! Much better than 44, i think about D60. 3 diffirent ratio,7,8&8.5 Price is a about 3500€(front&rear)(4700usd)here in Finland.

Otherwise, re-issue, does anyone still does not produce CJ in any event? I wonder if he drove his own yard?

The reason why I would like to find the former owner is that I would know what the car has broken down. Finland to be really hard find Jeep parts, and in most cases I have to order them from there Usa. Ordering take several weeks and as you know summer is continuously expanding ... So if you could help I'd be grateful!

Sorry for the hi-jack, Timmy.

To my knowledge no one in the world is currently producing the Jeep CJ, although the (CJ-5?) was produced until at least fairly recent times in a Latin American country or two (Venezuela?).

That said, there are numerous companies producing parts of various quality. So although no one may be producing CJ-7s, There is an abundance of CJ-7 parts available here in the U.S.--virtually every part you could want for you Jeep and quite a few you wouldn't.

Pm sent regarding finding former owner.

You think D60 strength? Pretty impressive. I didn't hold much hope they would be inexpensive.

Thank you guys! What trade do you use when you buy parts ? I have already bought (LOT) fourwheelparts many years, Tony Becker evening. I could buy from elsewhere, what would you recommend?

[inVERt'D]

Depends on what kind of parts we're talking about. I try to find the best parts for the best prices on eBay, Craigslist (no help to you, I'm sure), items for sale here or on Pirate4x4, or increasingly, I just make them myself. I don't often shop with any of the big parts houses these days, because I simply can't afford to pay retail for most items.

Hey jeepers,Good news, I have just received information that the jeep will soon be in Finland. The waiting time seemed like an eternity, especially when the snow has almost completely melted and starts to reach the forest drive.
