It has a 304 with the edelbrock performer intake and 650 carb mild cam for torque .It has a spring over axle lift with 4.5 inch super lift springs.so it's right at 8 1/2 inches right now.next week my daystar 1" body mounts come in it will have 9 1/2.When finished it will be sitting on a set of 40 gound hawgs.

thats a bad angle on that rear driveshaft, need to lower the transfer case cover and shim the rear axle.

Looks great! For a simple woods jeep, consider replacing the running gear with some 1/2 ford front and rear.
Little less Snap Crackle POP! when you finally have to spin those tires.

1/2 ton isn't much better than whats in it now.If I swap axles it will either be to 1 ton or get me another set of 2 1/2 ton rockwells like my last toy had.If you drive it right you want break axles anyway.I have never broke one yet,and have always played pretty hard with them.

I agree. I run 2.5's and 70/60's on my past and present "projects"
Was just suggesting, for the light weight 9" and 44, is a good combo for just a woods cruiser.

I've had a bunch of jeeps i'm just fond of the cj-5's.When this one is finished I will buy a new tub for it and start work on a new tub to make this one like new again.but right now it will be just a woods jeep to ride around in.That way my diesel stays nice.

when you have it apart coat your whole frame with por 15..it will help prevent the rust..we have done it on a bunch of show trucks..it looks good because its black..
i gator-guarded the interior of my sammy..look awesome..if you do that and dont like the roughness of it look at raptor liner..

Just give me a call any time.that was just a fast job I run out of metal and haven't had time to get anymore.As you can see I still haven't got the steering or breaks hooked up yet.I'm back to working 7 days a week for a while but it's not bad to all be done at home with no help.If you want a roll bar call me I'll hook you up with a better looking one thank this one.see ya Jody

Good luck I also bought 2 jeeps when I started this one .then I parted the other one out and have made enough money off it I have paid for both jeeps and just about built this whole jeep off my profits.I now have around $1200 out of pocket in it and almost done.working and 4 wheel disk brakes right now and getting the power brakes all in so people will quit telling me I have wires hanging.I need brakes ,fuel lines,exhaust put on,and wire the motor and light back up and we will be riding.Just dont have time to work on it much working 7 days a week and T-ball 4 days a week in the evenings.but one day I will have it done till I get 1 ton for it.
