Last year about this time, a fellow Jeeper posted a link to a CJ6 for sale in Oregon. After, talking to the gentleman that was selling it we came to an agreement. Now, how to get it back to TX? I was headed to Idaho, to hunt late October, so I had a hotshot company transport it to my friends place in Utah. After my hunt, I loaded it on a trailer and headed home. This CJ6 has a lot of what I was looking for, already done, Turbo 400, 225 Dauntless, and a surprisingly strait body and very little rot!!! So after some thinking I decided to sell my 71 CJ5 and put the funds into the 6. As it looked when I picked it up. The trip home, stopped off in Moab just cuz. Home, and behind the shop. After, thinking about the build, I decided to swap out the axles on the 5 and 6. Then I wanted to improve the rock crawling ability, so I ordered a Rocky Road YJ spring conversion. I got it bolted up, I will weld it at a later time. I like the new stance. Last edited by sactoller; 10/02/19. Official member of "The Clan of Turd-like People"

I am going to add hanging brake pedal, power brakes, new tilt steering column, new seats, probably and extra (2nd) fuel tank. Fab up a new front bumper, rear bumper and stuff. So started with getting the Diamond plate off, roll-cage out... Heater and blower are out, I will run an aftermarket heater defroster. Official member of "The Clan of Turd-like People"

Got the dash off, the tangled weave of wires out and started to position the hanging brake pedal. I am waiting on a plasma cutter, which will make this fab work much easier.

I got my firewall plates cut, for the hanging brake pedal/power brakes. It is just bolted up for now, will weld the plates on in the coming weeks. Official member of "The Clan of Turd-like People"
