75 cj5

[Helipilot2]

Some of you have seen me ask questions about the build I was wanting to start. I have officially started, with work and money it will take a year or more to do everything but it should be back on its own 4 driving again by summer 2017.

Plans:
Dana 60 Kingpin 5.38s and spool
GM 14 bolt 5.38s, spool, ballistic fab shave kit
XJ and YJ leaf springs
Hydraulic steering
40s
Roughly a 20" stretch
Paint
Boxed in frame
New interior

More will add along the way I'm sure, I will continue to update the list as it goes.

Very cool. Glad you decided to tackle this. Let us know if you want the thread title changed too, looks like some weird characters got in there.

Yea if you could change it to "75 CJ5" that would be great. Looks like someone already has the name Tumblr. Don't want to be a copy cat.

Me either! If you hear of any good deals on a set of spyderlocks or slabs could you please let me know. Need to save some money along the way. Need 17s with a 8x6.5 bolt pattern.

More progress, shave kit is pretty much done! More to be done tomorrow, hoping to finish up the last little bit of the 14 bolt over the weekend. Then the Dana 60 gets started.

You stretching the tub any to match the new wheelbase, or are you just gonna have the axles on the ends?

Axles will be on the ends, no point to stretching the tub. It wont be a show rig, purely a fun toy.
