My '69 CJ5 is back driving- After a quick refresh.
I put it on my lift about 2 months ago to fix an exhaust leak, and as usual the project snowballed (don't they all??). It already had headers, so I put a pair of flowmasters with side dumps on.
Then, Since I was in project mode, I stripped the interior, which had been painted black, and rolled on 2K Raptor liner... I took the roll bar off to do a clean job of it, and while it was off, I stripped and painted that, too.
The original seats were missing, I bought a '63 with a Myers hard top (for the top), so I removed the seat frames, recovered, and installed them.
While the seats were out, I replaced the underseat tool box that had been cut out for no reason.
There was no tailgate- So I took the badly abused one off the '63, straightened it, and replaced the rotten metal.
She's looking pretty decent now! Ready for some two tracks.
I still have a few projects to complete- Including installing a vintage Warn 8274 I picked up during the middle of the project...
