    Hi Guys...Just bought Dauntless Powered '71 CJ5
    I need a radiator, the bigger of the two for the V6
    Anyone have a stock set of springs for sale?
    If I have to buy new, where can I get the best deal?
    Anyone have any info. on a good one inch spring lift?
    Thanks

    If you did not know, the 71 CJ has a radiator all to it self. I searched for over a month on the internet, there seems to be no alternate radiator. I ended up making a template, and going to a radiator distributor to find one. I have a radiator out of a RX-7. Do a search on 71 radiators, amny suggestions here.

    Mike, glad to see you make it on here,fill out your profile so others know where you are from, also the search feature here will be your best friend. As far as parts wanted, go to the classified section and post in the earlycj5 wanted section. You can also post that other rad up there for sale. Any questions just ask, these guys here are great!!

    The 1" superlift is a great kit, can run a little bigger tire and rides great. I'm running it on my 53 cj3b with a slightly longer shackle and am running 32" super swampers. Welcome aboard!
