    I've got a 78 CJ5, in pretty good shape. It has a 360 and all the fixins. Has a 4" body lift, and running 33x12.5 thornburgs. But headers are just now starting to burn through. Don't want to buy cheap new set that I'll be replacing in a couple years. Can't really, and don't want to go back to...

    Glad

    Hey guys. I just want to say, it is so great to have folks to talk to about jeeps. I've owned one since 91 and was hooked since day one.

    second gear noise

    I bought a 78 CJ5 with a cammed out 360 it has the T150 transmission. I paid $5200 for it, the dude told me second gear was out. Well after driving it, he was right it knocks like h-ll when I shift to second. So I've just been shifting from first to third. I've already priced a rebuild and it's...
