new 75 cj5!!

Nice CJ!

 

Sweet! Is that a combat rim half in the background?$$

 

Confused again...that appears to be the same w/shield on my 74...Why/what would indicate a CJ 2A......NEVER MIND...I see the poster on the wall...Must be to many R)

By the By...very nice...how's the floor? If I'm not being indelicate, what's the price range in your part of the country (the great frozen N.W.) for a nice looking rig like that? They're hard to come by down here in the sunny south (he says with a roaring fire in the fireplace!!!)

 

thanks for the warm welcome
and the nice replies fellow cj'ers
actually, there are 3 other tarps
w/53 MGTD, 63 bug (my very 1st car!!)
and a 56 vette.
i'm sure the windshield is original.
it has a 258 str six
with 69,750 original miles on it.
i have every single maintenence record.
it ran like a dream.
i did get to thinking
that i was a little crazy
driving a strange jeep in the middle of no where!!
1,560 miles in a soft top CJ5 is not for wimps.
my #ss was sore, my back and neck were sore,
and after 2 days, i still hear the wind in the soft top!!
i paid $7500 for it.
i have the original sticker and it was for 4,700.
the front end is up 2" and i think i'll bring it down to stock.
where is the best place to order stock parts for this jeep
thanks guys (and gals)

yes that is a combat rim in the background.
i have a 42 gpw almost completed
and a 42 slat grill MB.
also have 2 MB parts jeeps.
here is a pic of my original 77 CJ5
i know who has it now
but they will not sell it back to me
so i got another cj!

There are several places to order parts. 2 of my favorites are jeepdoc.com and 4wd.com

Both are very good.

 

Very nice! I love that color.

 

Recommend Krage Jeeps in Savannah Tennessee....www.jeepdoc.com, 866-331-5337. I have spot checked some of their parts prices compared to Turners (in Roswell GA, driving distance for me) & they appear to have slightly better pricing. Their shipping is also very reasonable ($6.00 for a 5 gal jerry can as an example).

 

Very nice CJ! A catch like that makes the long trip worth it. Oh, by the way, there's two T's in Butte.R)

 

what are these holes for
in my windshield?
thanks
iowa

 

sorry
i forgot to ask
if anyone makes
a 'original' soft top
that has the original snaps at the bottom?
thanks again
iowa

 

darn. i thought it was a '65. i guess i better re-study my beetles.

 

the two in the side of the windshield frame are for the latch for a softtop door, such as the besttop tiger top. probably not original.

 

thanks wally
thot it had s.t. to do w/the soft top
does a.o. have a 75 w/these holes also?
thanks
iowa

 

i don't mean to bombard you
with too many pics of this jeep
but here's another one; frt view
iowa

 

you know, that looks just like Mongo, except without the body rust bad seats and the lift and tires

 

yeah, i do. that's how i knew what the holes were for.

 

Iowa,

my 75 has the original windshield/frame and holes in the same location as yours.......I believe that's factory.....although, I don't know what they are for.....my CJ has always had the soft top/doors.....

Man, I love that blue.......
