I had a 75 CJ5 back in early 80's.....I had 31's on it with stock suspension. That little bugger went everywhere......I do miss it from time to time.

got it on saturday. its definetly a project but it still makes me giddy to look at. guy i got it from said it had a 4 inch body lift, it doesn't have a body lift and barley has body mounts lol, shackles look stock but it still sitts ~3" higher them my xj with 3" and 31s so it must have a spring lift in it, front bumper is an air tank, and has brand new seats. runs decent and the body isn't too shabby, just need to patch up the frame over the winter and have fun in the spring. It is hard to get into though with the steering wheel and tiny door openings and height, im not that big and can do it, just harder than it should be.
