Show-off your JEEP's....

[QUOTE=diegom6;4373254]Not mine, but I sold to my customer this HEMI 6.1L that came out of a wrecked Jeep SRT8. He bought brand new the JK from us and said, install the engine and once is done, let me know to pick it up. He never drove it until it was with the V8.

Project done when it was N.A.



I spy a bimmer in the back...




Drop in Mahle forged pistons





Then we added some F.I ;D Replaced the fuel line with 3 times bigger and is fed with twin in tank fuel pumps. You can see the braided fuel line there...





Some suspension/brakes upgrades, nothing crazy.




that's awesome what trans is in there, would like to do that to mine one day,

Lol, yes, the older jeeps are a bit scary to drive. Does the CJ5 have manual steering like the older models? Saginaw power steering conversion is a pretty common upgrade for the older CJs.

My 3B has the earlier Go Devil engine from the CJ2 for some reason, I was expecting a 60hp (well, not even since it's worn out) engine to feel underpowered but it doesn't. Tops out at all of 45mph though. Could use a little more power for 3rd gear.

Pretty cool to see some other off-road enthusiasts on this site


This is more of a long term project that I got from my grandfather after he passed away. It runs and drives so its fun to go on light back-country trails to camp.

Love the old Willies but I have to ask just how much "back country" do you have in MD.

My buddy and I just picked this up as a running/driving project. It is a 1973 Jeep CJ5, 6 cyl 3 speed. All original one-owner car with 13,000 miles. Hasn't been on the road for many years, was used to drive around their farm. No top, no doors and it will stay that way. We will put a bikini top on it. I have been driving it around today and it is surprisingly smooth and actually pretty peppy. Only problem it has are brakes, you need to plan your stops or else you're going to plow into someone.

Plans are to fix the brakes, replace the fenders, patch the rust and re-upholster or replace seats then paint. It needs a tune but otherwise runs great so hopefully this will be a fun little summer project to work on while still being able to drive.

So damn hard to find a nice 1st gen cherokee in East, TN. Rednecks have the monopoly on them snd they always get trashed and sold needing "a lil tlc"

Looking good cleaned up! Ordered the stock Cherokee decals for the door. Surprised about the gas mileage, around 18-19 mixed driving.

2012 JKU Rubicon Dozer Orange had brand new tires on it when I bought it, new Level 8 Bully Pros, want to add a 2-3 inch lift, bumpers and winch, maybe 35" but, its fun, goes thru anything, driven it to FL a couple of times, now that I live on the Easter shore of VA, not many people doing long distance in jeeps, saw some in November, not that many in December,

My YJ from a few weeks ago after our last big snow of the year. I'm waiting for it to get just a bit warmer so I can take the top off for the year. Unfortunately I think my tranny is on its way out which really sucks because I had to replaced it last year with one that had lower miles, oh well
