Bought a used 76 (lots of miles on it) CJ5 from a friend with the 6cyl, edlebrock manifold, Hooker headers, 2brl carb @15mpg on a good day. Lots of miles on her. It replaced the dirt bikes as the kids arrived so the whole family could enjoy the woods and fun. Snaps on the top kinda snapped down...
Holy C**p batman, that description makes my head hurt!
Again, I am so thankful for the members of this community and their willingness to share their knowledge!!!!!!!!
Aren't we glad we have all these electrical Fancy Toys?
I never had to worry a darn bit about this kind of stuff with my CJ5 or CJ8 scrambler.
Only interior thing you had to muss with was if you got a leak in the heater core.
And that took about 30 min and 2 new hoses to fix.
I didn't have...
Wow, what a ride. Just had the time to stop and read since my last post.
Happy "new" diesel JT to you!
My story was a lot shorter. Finally saw a 21 rubi Jt diesel even had a Mopar lift, 36k miles. Really shouldn't have given them 65k (with all the financing crap) but long as God lets me get...
One little thing about the diesels, I have both a 21 JLU Rubicon & 21 JT Rubicon.
On the JLU, Stock up to 29 in freeway, 25 around town. Put 35"s on. Now 27 freeway, 23-24 around town.
Jt almost the same but about 2 mpg lower.
I live in Washington so fuel taxes are a big deal. I usually can...
You guys are so smart. In April last year I purchased a 21 JT Rubi 3.0D with 26k. It was in real nice shape and clean w/mopar 2" lift kit & OK 35's. I had not been on your site yet and didn't have all you-all's collective knowledge to call upon.
By today's standard (prices dropped), I probably...
Back in the 90's I had a CJ-8. At the time Smittybuilt had a hard top for the whole jeep from front to back. I know there were full soft tops as well but cant remember who made them.
As there were for a while, CJ-8 type kits for JK's, don't know if they made JL versions before they went out of...
The reason many a dad (like mine) pulled boats, camping trailers, and everything else with their cars, was most trucks of the time only had two doors. Not much room for the family when you can only afford one vehicle.
Haha...already did that. 2 years off, Went back to work to help out mom-in-law gone into dementia. Since then, wife's 2020-Bikini JLU 2.0t, my 2021 JLU Rubi 3.0D, recently added a 2021 JT Rubi 3.0D. So #1 paid off, 2+yrs-26k left on the second, 7yrs-60k on the latest. Retirement is but a dream...
