Tom Harlow's 1967 Jeep CJ-5 Tuxedo Park Mark IV

Tom Harlow's Well Done Tux

Background Information

The original price of the Jeep was $2100.00. The cost of the parts was an additional $23,000.00. It took me ~3 1/2 years to complete and involved working nearly every weekend. I rebuilt the axles, transfer case, engine, all body work including paint, fabricated the spare tire carrier and winch mount, modified the roll cage to make it a true frame tie-in, fabricated my own 14-circuit wiring harness and the list goes on. All of this was done in my driveway....no garage!
