Went and bought me a cj5 finally. Already have done some engine work, now I guess I'll start my build page.

Good luck with it. What are your plans for it? Keep us posted. I rebuilt a CJ5 a few years ago and enjoyed "almost" every minute of it.

Clutch linkage was one of the first things I did to mine. It was so bad out of adjustment it's a wonder it hadn't smoked the clutch.
