Then,

CJ quick question. well a couple actually first where did you get the wheel dollies or whatever there called second how much do they run and third did you build your rollcage yourself or buy a weld on kit?

 

[CJ]

The wheel dollies came from Harbor Freight, if I remember correctly, they were about $AMC 150 a pair, but I can't find them on the site any more. The ones I have are the type that can be used on just about any vehicle, they use a hydraulic jack to close the rollers up - very nice.

As for the roll cage, it was made way back in the 70's by a company called 'MotoBar'. They were based out of Orlando Florida and built very specific cages. As far as I know, there are only two 3" CJ5 cages around that they made, I have one and a long term friend of mine had (he sold his CJ) the other. The only other mention I have ever found about "MotoBar" on the web is in this thread -->> Has anyone heard of a company called Motobar? - JeepsUnlimited.com Forums

Oh yea! Holy , I can't believe how clean my garage was then!

Four sets of dollies, and four Jeeps? Would love to see this collection?

The roll cage I have is great, just takes a top modification for the front bow, It's kinda nice knowing that you have a cage that no one else has, ever...

 

[cj5 guy]

its pretty funny seein 2 CJ5 's facing each other in the back a 7 on the side closest to the door and a scrambler parked in the middle with all the shelves and everything else all around them.

 

[cj5 guy]

oh and i ment 4 sets of 2. the 5's are on dollies.

 

[dalefan88]

its cool to see how you guys took the time to save these jeeps from the grave. one day our jeep will look as good as some of your guys.

 

[susie]

One day... I will have one...

A company still makes them and I've seen them used on occasion:
GoJak Jack Dolly - Zendex Tool Corporation

Other companies make similar products but these are the best.
