I would like to share my 69 CJ5 with you guys. I feel like it has enough AMC jeep parts upgrades that it is worthy of sharing here. I purchased the jeep in 2014 as second/hunting vehicle. I quickly realized that pre AMC jeeps were really just street legal tractors and a host of upgrades were necessary to fit my needs. After a couple years of driving and upgrades I ended up with the following specs: Buick 225 "oddfire" V6 with crank fire throttle body fuel injection Ford T18 granny gear transmission Dana 20 transfer case with Terra Low 3.15 gear set Axles from a 1975 CJ5 with ARB air lockers in both front and rear Power Steering from an 85 CJ7 Leaf springs from a 87-95 YJ Aluminum radiator Ceramic coated Sanderson headers and stainless exhaust Custom roll cage Custom spare tire carrier I preformed all fabrication and suspension work. I organize the annual Rubicon Trail trip for the Early CJ5 forum. The jeep has crossed the trail 3 times now. My wife and I took a 1000 mile road trip in the jeep for our honeymoon. We have driven it all over Northern California and Oregon from doorstep to destination it has never gone on a trip on a trailer. |

My 66 CJ body plate says it is a Kaiser but the registration says it is a Willy. The field must be too small to say Willys.

That's Sand Lake Dunes in Tillamook, Oregon. We had an Early CJ5 forum meet up in the Tillamook State Forest. One day of forest trail riding, one day of beach riding.

Sorry about the picture size. I just sold my last two sets. I have 6 more sets in production that will be done in a couple weeks. Prices on steel have gone up since the last run. I think that CJ5 length sliders are going to be $260 plus the ride for this round of production. |
