    My uncle moved out of the city and left me his non running 65 CJ5. I took a look at all the mechanical stuff - the F head with a gyrating harmonic balancer and the crappy brakes and the loose steering and on and on...I got an 87 toyota pick up with a 4cyl fuel injection and toyota solid front diff and I plan on making a toyota/jeep. Basically it will use the original sterring wheel and radiator tanks, everything else will be toyota. It will look like a jeep and that's about it. So as I embark on this journey over the winter I will probably be asking all sorts of ridiculous things. My plan is to make a trail ready jeep that I can mostly bomb around in during the summer. Cool site and I'll keep records of my project progress as it mutters along.

    Cheers,

    Dave

    welcome from so-cal....if you look/search in the "build" forum I think another member did something similar in the past.

    Only issue with it will be the length of the yota dirvetrain. I would love to have a 22re in a jeep but the transmissions and Tcases will leave a very short rear shaft.
