Author Topic: CJ-5 1 ton (Read 5748 times)

Just2Much19 · « **on:** Feb 18, 2008, 01:40:11 PM »

I currently have a 1958 CJ-5 with a 12 bolt lincoln locked, and a 10 bolt up front open; both with 5.38:1 gears. It also has a Chevy 350 in it with an SM420, and Dana 300 t-case. I got a good deal on a 1974 Blazer on 1 tons; Dana 60 front with ARB and 4.56:1 gears, and rear is a 14 bolt full floater with detroit and 4.56:1 gears.

I will be swapping axles and then also taking the winch and then attempting to sell the Blazer.

Here is what I am starting with:

Here is what I am getting the axles out of:

Yea, I am hoping to line up someone to buy the body so they can just take that away immediately. I will give you a call.

Just2Much19 · « **Reply #11 on:** Mar 04, 2008, 10:09:10 PM »

Worked on it for about 4 hours today with a friend and got pretty far. Tomorrow I am removing the engine, t-case tranny, and axles then I am all set!

Just2Much19 · « **Reply #19 on:** Mar 05, 2008, 10:38:36 PM »

This is where we are at after tonight. We got the tranny and t-case out, along with a bunch of other little stuff. Tomorrow comes the engine and axles.

Sweet. Starr has to work fri-sat-sun at 5:00 pm but we can come down early saturday if you are down for a day run. we'd have to hit the road by about 3:30 pm at the latest. If Sat is cool then we will cruise down $Beer Chug\'n$

Jen works Saturday...Tax season! Can we do Sunday? Call me

Just2Much19 · « **Reply #22 on:** Mar 06, 2008, 09:54:34 PM »

Here is the progress after tonight. Now I need to sell some of the stuff I got off of it that is taking up space in my garage and then rip out my axles.

I will be going to PC probably Sunday and then dropping the jeep off to get the clutch done on Monday. Once I get it back from the clutch being done I will swap in the new axles and get the drivelines made.

I like the old Jimmy's and K5's but Jeeps from the 50s are just cool

My dad has a CJ-2a that's been in the family since my grandpa bought it

Just2Much19 · « **Reply #25 on:** Mar 21, 2008, 04:09:13 PM »

The 1 tons are in!!! I need to dump those 37's! I will soon be going with 42's with beadlocks. Also during all of this the Dana 20 was yanked and replaced with a Dana 300 with an AA adapter. The clutch looks good but the hydraulics might be messed up, we are just going to replace them.

I just need a D44 yoke and also a CV yoke for the Dana 300.

46&2 · « **Reply #26 on:** Mar 21, 2008, 08:46:35 PM »

Sick man!! Looking real good Justin. Do you have better brakes now with the 1 tons? No issues with steering swapping axles?

So far it looks like I am hitting the Con July 4th weekend for sure with ROCKO and a few others. Prolly going to Fordyce before then but I just got a new job selling ammunition and I have to travel a lot and do gun shows on weekends. My life is crazy right now I have NO free time but I need to wheel! My 4runner is in the shop getting the rear tcase rebuilt but I should have it back Monday. Next weekend 28-30 I am doing my first gun show in Reno and after I have my tcase repair paid off, its lockers, onboard air and FORDYCE. I will keep you posted. Looking sick though man I cant wait to see it rollin on some 42s........

Please forgive my lack of commitment towards anything lately I just have NO time for anything!!!

Just2Much19 · « **Reply #27 on:** Sep 23, 2008, 09:02:37 PM »

Ok, well now to bring this thread back from the dead. The jeep has gone through some major overhauls from Phil at SillyFab.

Everything from 42s, beadlocks, lowered, full hydro steering, 4 link front, 114" wheel base, tubed front, slanted hood, extended rear frame, cooler rack, cage tied into the frame, engine cage, black magic fan, 3.5 bronco coils , etc....

Also got a new driver...just for the day.
