Topic: prolly the best place for this

[Travis H]

so im trying to trade the 4runner in my sig for a truck, this guy on craigslist emails me with an offer for a jeep, at first im thinking no way not a jeep. but this jeep sounds like the one jeep that i would like to own.
heres the specs he sent me.

68 cj 5, 225 v-6, sm420,toyota t-case 4.7 gears, toy. rear w/arb air locker, frt. toy. high pinion. ground up build about 5 years ago. boxed frame,wrangler springs,spring overs. custom cage,full top,bikini top, half doors. p.s,pdb,swing out spare tire. runs great, goes down the road smooth,straight, also does great on the trail

i like how it has toyota axles and trans case, and i know that the sm420 is awesome. but i know nothing about the engine besides that its a buick motor.

so to you jeep ppl how does this setup sound?
i love my toyotas but im sick of not being able to go wheelin.

What tires & gears? IIRC that motor is rated around 150hp & 225tq. Would this be a street driven rig also or just for wheeling? It would probably be a great wheeler with 35's on it due to the low gears in the tranny & transfer case. When I had the 4-cyl in my jeep it was rated around 150hp also and with 4.88's and 36's I had plenty of power for the rocks. It was the street & sand that I needed more power for.
