Yeah, digging the stamped hood on the Willys and the white wheels like my dad had when he bought his 76 CJ-5 new, other than that, kind of.....meh. On another note I saw a YouTube video yesterday with a Jeep engineer talking about the 392 and he said it had "Michelin Crawlers" on...
Oh yeah, I have always been a 4 low guy in the sand and have been driving on the beaches here since I was like 8 in my dads CJ5 in the 70's. I did have one vehicle which was better in 4 hi and that was the 69 Bronco, just gearing. I did try hi in the sand and it was not even usable. Once you...
I am looking at the 285/75r17 as well as 295/70/r17, I only have a 1.5 level for the front and have changed over to a used Rubicon shocks and springs. I have plenty of room to go up to a 34 for sure. I know I will take a hit on mine as I am a MT. However, I live on the coast and it is very...
I'm on the coast and don't do any rock crawling but do spend a lot of time in beach sand. I will say the first time I went out after moving from the Tacoma to the Jeep, I was not happy with the MT or rather the clutch. Like said before was planning to replace the clutch anyway when I bought it...
Good question, I keep seeing all these "submit for reimbursement" but have not yet seen a successful reimbursement for an aftermarket clutch. I bought my MT knowing it was not the ideal set up from the factory and knew I would eventually switch over to Centerforce or other aftermarket clutch...
He ended up stripping it down and changed the color, had one of the first hard tops in NC for it and then the year before I got my license he sold it to a cousin of his. He said I would have killed myself in it if I got and he was probably right.
My dad sold his 68 Bronco and bought a brand new 75 Cj5 in that exact color and trim. His was a 232 6cyl but he had no choice as he had a long commute to work every day. I do miss rolling around in the back of that thing at 5 years old. No back seat or roll bar pads back then, just bumps and...
Don't have the Gladiator yet but when I do, I will be transferring the Boonedox bed extender and Thule racks over. Should be the same as the Tacoma has the same short bed.
