Members CJs New member, old Jeep!

[Dan69CJ5]

Hello! I purchased this 69 CJ5 in August 2025 from and old Army buddy, who had it since 1978. She has been well used and loved by his whole family, but for about 20 years she was sitting under a blue spruce tree. Not a lot of cancer, considering the trees and underbrush in the Great Pacific Northwest!

There are people in the East who would kill for that thing

I'm glad I was able to save her. Just had the customary rot on the floor boards and under the tank. Easy fixes. I'm currently trying to work through the wiring for the signal lights, but I have 2 good head lights, 2 front markers and 1 tail light that function. For running the mountains of south western Oregon, that is plenty! I'm trying to figure out the dimensions for doors, I think my buddy might have made the side panels of the hard top a touch too long for standard doors to fit properly. He was a machinist at Boeing and made the top by hand. It is galvanized steel.

Nice Jeep ! You live in a great area to drive it also. I spent some time growing up in southern Oregon. Family still there.
