I thought I posted the above info last night, but I am back at it today. I removed the winch, trimmed the lower d side of the grill to...
I’ve opted to hang the exhaust manifold upside down on the driver’s side… time to mock up the grill, and fenders to see what pile of mods I have...
Thanks guys- the driveline is on my priority list- at the top. when she’s in 4wd it makes a terrible racket on the steep hills down, but not...
Well, for SnG’s I mocked up the cj7 grill and I’d have to cut a notch for PS lines as a PO did already on the CJ5 grill. All my “spare” CJ-DJ...
Whoa, it was super cool to get online today and see all the input, advice, suggestions and tips. Thank you guys, I appreciate it. Amazing! I...
I’m with him, and you, too! I’ll be the first one to admit budget building has a higher frustration level than the deep pocket builds, or buying...
I think that’s a solid plan. With the use of the intermediate grill, will you use stock early fenders, or the newer, longer style? I have seen...
This is some serious truth right there! I appreciate the reminder. Sticking a v8 in here will be a snowballing effect of mods… mods beget mods...
I got it registered in my name today, mowed the yard, then got to work, work, work, work, work, work, work on the AMCv8 swap. After tugging,...

Thanks, and agreed; oddly enough, the new tires are smaller/narrower than the ones that came off of it. I think the back spacing on the rims is...
I put together some spare parts and got some 285/75r16’s ready to go: [ATTACH] These are factory 16” Jeep j200 or j300 FSJ Gladiator rims, a set...
Duffer, thank you; that sounds like some solid info right there. I’ll have to mull the tech information over- solid info for sure! And no, I...
That’s sweet- great minds think alike, right!?! Feel free to ask questions, too, because this is my first CJ5, and I want the drivetrain right and...
Haha, yep. I was wondering if you were the same guy from the IFSJA! Still have that vigilante 327 Jeep gladiator?
The front clip is off- pretty easy to do since someone else has been here recently. The bolts were new stainless steel bolts n washers.[ATTACH]...
Thank you! There are two totes of parts and the buckets/trim rings are in one of the totes.
I looked at that engine when it first popped up on the CL- and I appreciate you for checking out the local listings, too! I passed on the engine...
I think you're all spot on! Nice. I'm in the right place. I do have an FC 170 in the back ground (401, th400, dana 20, dana 60's front and rear)....
