UPDATE:  Price dropped to $4500

(01/03/2010) This is an interesting build as it sports a jeepster front clip.  I can’t remember seeing this done.  I think it works pretty well.  I’d check out the frame closely, as the seller had a problem with it during an outing.

“This is my prize 1963 CJ5 rock crawler that due to the lack of interest and the need of money for property taxes, I must let go. I easily have $15000 invested in this and the only thing left on it that’s 1963 is the rear axle housing.

Here’s what’s been done;
1. Dana 30 disc brake front end w/4:88 gears and a Lock-rite and Warn hubs(27 Spline)
2. Dana 44 offset rear with 11” brakes w/4:88 gears and a power lock, full float with 27 spline Warn hubs
3. Early 80’s DJ frame with outboard rear YJ leaf springs and Rancho 3” front springs, shackle reversal
4. New drive shafts
5. 1979 229 Chevy v6 injected on propane
6. t-18 granny low Ford transmission mated to Spicer 18 transfer case
7. 67 Jeepster front clip
8. 76 CJ5 tub
9. Warn 8000# upright winch
10. Power steering
11. Recent Best top
12. Toyo Open Country’s 35×13.50r15lt on custom offset steel rock crusher wheels
13. Wiring harness, 16 circuit, purchased from THE JEEP GUY here in Portland
14. 3 propane fuel tanks, 2 mounted + a spare
15. Permanent Oregon SP tags, can and will drive on the street, but in limited amounts with these tags
16. And much too much more to list

Here’s what needs to be finished;
1. Needs to have a roll cage built
2. Needs exhaust redone
3. Has some minor electrical gremlins searched out

This Jeep has been on most of the trails at Moab, Rubicon, Fordyce, Barrett Lake, and Browns Camp to name a few. This Jeep has been a constant work in progress for me for the last 25 years or so, but time to move on. Really need to get $5000 out of this, but cash talks so make me an offer. Would consider trades for nice FSJ, Hot Rod, Rat Rod, Drag race parts, Dually, AMC’s, Car Trailer, or anything else you have I might find of interest. I work odd hours but I’m available from 9 in the evening till about 9 in the morning at 503-784-1622 during the week and all weekend. Leave a message or email and I’ll get back to you. My email address is thigh19@comcast.net and check out more pictures at http://thigh190.tripod.com/id13.html Keep in mind that this is an almost completed project. Will loan out a tow bar if needed.”
