Merry Christmas, if a Bit Late, Jeep History Fanatics!
Recently on E-bay a Blue 1970 Renegade I was sold. From all indications it’s genuine, the wiring harness was spotted by Beeser, the toolbox is blue inside, and the VIN sticker on the dash is peeling revealing blue paint.
The Renegade webpage has been updated with pictures and information about the now four colors of Renegade I CJ-5s that we know of.
Technical Section Updates
Posted by Sparky in EarlyCJ5 Technical, Site News on 2 October, 2009
I’ve been remiss in doing this, but I’ve updated the links from the Technical Library page here.
All of the links should now work and point to the appropriate page along with links in the drop down menu. But I understand if you prefer the page.

I’ve restored the springs and shocks section tonight which includes leaf spring dimensions along with the typical FAQ stuff.
New Classifieds Section
Following some feedback from the forum I’ve set up an new classified section in the forum to try some different things.
You can find the new section here: http://earlycj5.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=67
Steering articles
Posted by Sparky in EarlyCJ5 Technical, Site News on 31 August, 2009
I got a good start on the steering articles this weekend. There’s one left that needs to be restored. The Saginaw steering article with Mcruff’s diagrams is awaiting image uploads. I’ll try to get that done as soon as I can.
Engines are underway and more technical section info restored
Panzer and I have been working to get articles restored, we’ve started to restore the engines section of the tech library.
More to be posted soon I hope.
More content added to Body and Frame Section
I’ve added the general FAQ for the Body and Frame section along with the Windshield comparison and Rotisserie articles.
Brakes Section is fully restored
All of the articles for the brakes portion of the tech library are now restored.
The work continues
Much of it is behind the scenes so you might not be aware of all that we’re doing. However you might notice a new tab on the page, “Classifieds”. We’re working on it!
For now please login to our forums and post your classifieds in our temporary classifieds.
Earlycj5.com is coming back, slowly
We’re sorry about the long downtime of the website. It’s been unusually difficult for me to find time lately to work on the website.
We’ve moved the page to a Wordpress format as you can see. Work is underway to integrate the forum and Wordpress users so that forum users will be able to access different features in the website with their same login they’ve always had.
Thanks for being understanding, we will be back with the full content soon. Please note that while some of the articles may appear, they may not have all the pictures in place yet.
The forums are still active and can be found here.
