Vehicle Description
These short-wheelbase CJ5s are a blast to drive. Their
maneuverability and light weight make them very desirable for off
road use but also fun to sport around town in. It opens up new
parking possibilities where lesser vehicles dare not tread, letting
you get closer to the action. Check it out.
This little Jeep looks like a party waiting to happen. A fresh coat
of paint has been expertly applied in a gorgeous shade of Blue and
it shines as bright as a summer day. The soft half doors and bikini
top would grab people's attention as you roll into town, a
festival, or down to the lake. It's aggressive stance doesn't just
come from those 33X12.50s, there is a bit of lift to the chassis
too. Those alloy wheels do fill up the fenders nicely, complement
the lift perfectly, and you can even show them off with the LED
lights mounted up in the fender wells. Up front the iconic 7-slot
grill that has been on every Jeep since WWII is underlined by a
sharp looking chrome bumper, while out back a full-sized spare is
mounted on a Rugged Ridge carrier with a hitch receiver and D-rings
in the bumper below it.
Open that soft half door and climb on up into the Rugged Ridge high
back bucket seats that are nestled safely between the bars of a
padded roll cage. In front of you is a steering wheel that is
thickly padded mounted on a chrome 3-spoke hub and tilt column.
Behind it is a Black diamond plate dash that looks as tough as the
rest of the truck. The gauges are crisp, clean and easy to read
with the speedometer containing the fuel and temp gauge while
voltage and oil pressure gauges are mounted off to the right. A
Kenwood FM/CD/iPOD compatible sound system cranks out the tunes for
your listening pleasure and billet shift knobs top the shifters for
the manual transmission and transfer case. There is a chrome grab
handle for the passenger and mounted up high over the rear-view
mirror is an inclinometer so you can see how exactly how far you
pitched or rolled during that epic adventure you had.
Complimenting the awesome outside and inside of this Jeep are
chassis and running gear that have received as much attention and
love as they have. Under the hood you will find the tried and true
258 cubic inch in-line 6-cylinder engine. It has been serviced up
with plenty of new parts like a fresh valve cover and oil pan
gaskets, new ignition components, belts, hoses, and an upgraded
aluminum radiator. The exhaust flows out through dual free flow
mufflers that give this CJ are gnarly growl. Power flows back
through a new clutch, throw out bearing and resurfaced flywheel to
the 4-speed manual gearbox and transfer case, to a Dana 30 front
axle and Dana 35 rear that have been serviced up too with new axle
seals. If you are heading out for some rock crawling fun, pull the
pins on the sway bar for some extra travel and articulation. You
might even want to keep an eye on that inclinometer to see how
radical you actually got.
This is a super solid CJ that looks great and drives out well. Come
on down and check it out. Then start thinking about where you are
going to go with it. Your options are pretty wide open.
