bringing home the new 5 (pic heavy)

hey guys, finally got around to taking some pics of the new 5, none of the engine or drive yet, those will come next weekend.. well here she is, let me know what ya think... keep in mind bought it for plowing snow on my 200 yd driveway, and whatever other use i might have for it, 1971 body with earlier 134f, 4 spd, front and rear pto, plow and meyer hardtop/doors, oh and more rust than paint... even though the custom paint is pretty high quality R)







and even though its nothing great, it runs and drives so i HAD to take it wheeling on the in-laws farm

 

Congratulations on you new jeep! If that jeep could talk, I bet it has some amazing stories to tell!

thanks, I'm sure that old thing could tell me miles of storys, looks like its seen its better days, and I'm sure its seen worse days, its just showing the results now.. poor thing was used and abused, and still runs strong.. just what i expected from a jeep $450 later and i now have years of work/play ahead of me can't wait...

 

Welcome, and awesome price!

 

thanks CB, glad to join the elite group!

 

looks like a lot of fun. enjoy.

 

Ah, thats all cosmetic. Very fixable.
Welcome to the club. Thanks for saving the old girl.

 

thanks, and yeah a lot of what you see is cosmetic... and a lot of what you don't see is frame rot... haha, hopefully if i have some time this summer i'll look into repairing the frame(dang near building a new one most likely) but its all a learning experience, and it gives me a reason to be in the shop, not that the 2 project honda bikes aren't enough of a reason 8)

 

some more pics for all of ya! ripped out the gas tank tonight to patch a hole that was a major concern for me... gotta start somewhere right?
some interior pics.. and my lil bro helping me find the leak... the serial and build date a couple of the meyer cab and doors...

 

some pics of the F-head..

 

and some of the underneath side.. (both Ptos, tran/tc/diffs etc.)

 

and lastly for now.. the plow and a couple misc.
