Huntin' Jeep

[Sharpe]

Got me a jeep cause the price was right. 74 CJ-5 Renegade. It came with a factory V8 (I think its a 304 right?), Warn M8274 and more brown recluses than you can shake a stick at. So what kind of axles, tranny and t-case does it have? I got the whole shebang for $500. Here' a bunch of pics. I took some pics of the front axle to help in identification. From what I can see, it has external hubs and open knuckles. I couldnt get any pics of the rear axle because it has 4 flat tires and is very short to begin with. It should have a dana 35 rear and dana 30 front right? Anyway here's the pics.

damn man, thats a good find. Looks like the body is in good shape and it comes with a bad ass winch!

It has a D30 front, but D35s didn't go under Jeeps until the YJs came out.

whatever, dick

It will take a TON of money to get that thing trail worthy - just buy a Toyota truck with the profits and start from there...

hey, let's not fag up this thread with your gay Toyota talk, mmkay?

Front Dana 30, Rear is an early low spline 44, tranny is either a t14 or t15 if it's a 3spd and it's a Dana 20 tcase......why the **** do I know this?!?!

[robertf03]

it'll be 30 spline rear, centered 44's were always 30 spline on CJ's

very impressive. does it run? does drivetrain spin smoothly? drivetrain/steering/suspension only show to have surface rust. great find. what location did you find this one? history on the jeep?

please if i can give you a word of advice, keep it stock!!! Mine is a 74 and the frames back then don't hold up to anything because they are c-channel. If it was mine, spend about a grand gettin it in perfect order, all stock, the tub looks great, no or little rust and then sell it for 8-10 grand to some collector and buy yourself a better rig for starting out with. I have been down the road your at but mine was in terrible shape so it didnt matter. Yours is sooo close to stock that you could end up making a sweet investment out of it..
