'71 CJ5

I like the tail light arrangement, its different from anything I've seen before.

 

I went back and forth on how I wanted to arrange them. I wanted maximum visibility for the tail lights and the most light dispersal for the back up lights.

 

Pulled "Sour Apple" out and down to shop. Going to weld on the PS bracket, new shock brackets and get the rear end gearing changed plus a couple other items.

 

I just read back through this thread and....... What springs did you use?

 

I'll have to go through my receipts to see exactly which ones I ordered.

 

I like the height. 33's on the jeep?

 

Yes, they are 33's.

 

My apologies if you have already stated this (I didn't see it) but what brand of rear bumper/spare tire carrier is that or did you make it?

Thanks

 

The bumper/tire carrier is from Dirtworx out in California.

What size lift?

 

2.5" spring, 1.5" shackle.

 

Thanks

 

Well, got some important stuff done yesterday! Thanks to Troy from Troy's Offroad.

Got the steering box mounted, spring shackles reversed, shock mounts removed, new mounts welded on, tie rod swap kit. Now I'm just waiting on the new gears for the rear end, should be in Tuesday along with the 1.5" wheel spacers. Will install on Saturday.

Now to find a steering column....

 

Have to ask. This is a hunting jeep! Do you hunt from interstate 20? Very nice build. Hunt land requires an old beater like maybe a worthless bronco or chevy blazer. You know, something that if you accidentally shot a hole through it you won't care. Keep up the great work..

 

where did that steering box mount come from?

I have some shoes and socks and Levis and skin that have suffered from welding. I don't even think I would consider flip flops. At least I haven't set any clothing on fire for many years.

 

Thursday was a good day, got the new gears in and the wheel spacers on. Towed it home and today started putting the front clip back on...
