Home Forums Thread Like Summary - Blame NorthernDave Part Deux!!!!!

I thought I would start a new build thread, since this is a different Jeep. And yes, it is still Dave's fault!

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.

My Big brother James bought that when he was 16 years old.
