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.
