My Jeep was purchased from a local resident that bought the Jeep because it was the year he graduated from high school.  He owned it for 3 days before getting plastered and rolling it.  I saw it for sale from I-5 for $1500.  It had a 258 t19 and dana 300 t case.  I purchased it and spent the next 6 months fixing it.  It is now complete.  I changed the color from Blue to Brown.  "Big Brown One".  I have since upgraded both axles with ARB and 4.88 gears.  I have also swapped in an rebuilt AMC 304.  I also added a Howel fuel injection as well.  This works very well.  I have also had to replace the fron Dana 30 with a Ford 9" from Currie Ent.  I have done all of the rebuild work myself and my bother helps me out with the machanicals.  Together we make a great Team.  He owns a 1960-1979 CJ5.  The frame and engine are from a 1979 and the body and tub are from a 1960.  It works great for the amount of money spent $1500.
