1971 Cj-5 Dauntless Rebuild

Jeep never offered such a package AFAIK. The "packages" at the time were the Renegades 1 and 2, which have been covered here extensively. Could have been a package that a dealer put together as a promotional tool.

There were a small number of 225-T18 CJ-5s sold in 1971. These used the close-ratio T-18 with the 4.02:1 1st gear that was offered with the 258 in subsequent years (through 1976). The 225-T18 Jeeps are scarce, but they exist. The wide ratio T-98 was only offered with the F134, never with the 225. Note that the early top cover for the T-18 uses the same casting as the T-98, and has T-98 cast-in. This can cause mis-identification. The T-18 case will have "13-01" prominently cast-in on its driver side.

If all you want is the frame, it shoudn't matter. If you are thinking about a package deal, there should be a Jeep PN on the tag from the top cover, count the teeth on the input gear, and look for 13-01. Per Nick, the 6.32: input gear has 17 teeth and the 4.02:1 input gear has 23 teeth.

 

Good to know. The guy was quite the salesman. Frame was way overpriced. Definitely not worth a trip out to Colorado for.
