Announcement Welcome to the Largest Jeep CJ Community.

[SJ-Gordon]

Thanks for the add. Putting my 1979 CJ5 back together... again. I have owned it since 1983 when it came to me with the AMC 232 i6 inline six and not enough power to pull the hat off your head with a running start. Squirrely on the road, underpowered, handled like a drunk water buffalo on roller skates, and God forbid a cross wind was blowing if you were on the pavement and moving faster than 40 MPH. Drove it 60 miles home in a stiff cross wind and was 100% going to put it up for sale as soon as I got it back because it was quite a handful on the road. Got it home, took it on the two-tracks around the house in Northern Michigan and here we are 40+ years later still together, LOL. I think the only original pieces left are the seat mounts, steering column and speedometer.

Handles better after fixing worn bushings all around, has WAY more power after I swapped in the AMC 360 as well. Been a long road, sometimes maddening, sometimes painful, but the vast majority of the time it has been more smiles per mile than anything else I have owned since getting my license in 79.
