Heres My Jeep Thing
but I dont care.
I got a wheeler for 900 the specs 84 CJ5 I think I'm not sure but I thought the CJ7s had a d44 somewhere and these axles look like d30s or something. this is my first jeep. 2" AAL 1" shackles SPOA 35s 4.2 straight 6 that purrs like a kitten   my plans are to take the 2" AAL in the rear out as it sits 3" higher in the rear and flexes like crap. the rear shocks are not correct and have no upwards travel. So I will either make them work and relocate or get the right ones spool in the rear. green rattle can paint job. off road lights maybe some custom bumpers. replace the side windows on the hard top or get a soft top and thats pretty much it. it will be a property deer recovery tool/bomber

Looks like a great buy for twice the money you spent. Nice find.
From personal experience I'd leave the topper just like it is. It's like that for a reason. Once you fix it, the first time you get into any trees, brush or rocks it's gonna look just like it does now. The sides of this truck are gonna take a beatin, that's just the way it is no matter how carefull you are.

You got that for 900 bucks?
I hate you bad, really really bad. That vintage of Jeep probably has a Dana 30 front and a AMC Model 20 rear. The Model 20 has tapered axles so if you have a castle nut out at the brake drum end instead of a flange and a completely round cover on the housing, it's a 20....You can buy one piece flanged shafts and make it stronger than a 44, for the record. In 1986--last year of the CJ--the 7's had a Dana 44 rear end, IIRC. Nice Jeep, if it's halfway solid it's worth ~$5,000 up here in the northwest.

the frame is solid. the guy before me welded new floor pans in but other than that it is solid and no serious rust.
I thought about reselling it but it is perfect for what I need.

yeah but it isnt going to be for show. I'd hate to spend the time welding in new metal when it will get trashed. but If I ever decided to redo it it would be easy.
I want to change the transfer case and tranny (manual) fluids. do they just take 80 90 or something else?

yeah probably, i would check though, you could always "boatside" it when you cut them out, ALOT of extra clearance when ya do that.

some guy asked me this morning if I'd sell it for $3K. I told him money talks.
he shows up tonight with a $3K check! sold MOFO! I got my eye on this bugger with trailer for $2500  specs 258 I6: no leaks, MC2100 carb, TFI ign upgrade, metal valve cover T18a/D20 - TW CV rear driveshaft, square front driveshaft (63:1 crawl ratio) WT D30 front axle, 4.88 gears, welded spiders, Superior shafts with 297 joints, 6 bolt stock locking hubs, HD tie rod/drag link, diff guard Scout D44 rear axle, 4.88 gears, welded spiders, diff guard, ladder bar Suspension: Spring over with stock springs (front), XJ springs (rear) - 90" wheelbase, extended brake lines, 4" drop pitman arm Tires: 36x13.5x15 Bias Ply Super Swamper Iroks with 90%+ tread on 15x10" rims Winch: not included, winch plate included Body: full cage, tube fenders, fuel tank relocated to bed, covered car seats (confortable) - mounted to cage, lots of scratches and dents This rig is not pretty, it just works. It has competed in TDR and done very well (comming in 2nd place last year) - it has been rolled a couple times and wheeled hard for the last two years. If you are looking for a rig you can beat on trip after trip, this is for you. trailer  ---AutoMerged DoublePost--- body is rough but it is BUILT. just what I need Last edited by GRI; 12-17-2007 at 10:03 PM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost
