Project Turd

I've been wanting another jeep, preferably one that I can just use for whatever. I have enough parts to put one together with a stock drivetrain. All I was missing was a decent frame and axles. So I picked up a CJ5 from craigslist. It has one rusted out spot, which I can easily fix from another frame that is toast. The plan is to put a CJ3A body on it that I have, an Fhead, T90, D18 with a teralow in the future, metal half cab, Warn 8274 winch, plow frame, rear PTO, and I might build my own 3 point hitch. I may put Herm's full float kit in the rear too. It should be an interesting and fun project. I think I'm going to paint it brown, hence the title.

 

Good luck Nate. Looks like a fun project. Are you lifting it at all?

 

You are very brave! It'll be fun to see what you do with it.
