Huntin' Jeep

[CheapJeep]

Creighton, this might answer your question!

I didn't even realize it at first. I registered and started posting then saw Robert's thread with my user name....oops. My bad.
It's almost as confusing as all the Robert's in the club, Sharp, Cook, Danny, Me, who else?

I guess I'm special if I'm the only one with an original tailgate?

[Sharpe]

my buddies cj-5, with the three speed stick, and 304, came with 3.73, no tailgate, but it had the open knuckle 30

That sounds exactly like mine.

mine didnt have one from the factory

Well I got to work tearing this ***** down today and good lord there's alot of booty fab'd **** on this thing. I got the front clip taken off and I am going to need to replace the passenger side fender, anyone got one? I will probably need a new windshield frame too. I got the carpet pulled up as well, and I need a new floor...

I would be pissed if the purpos of this project wasnt for me to get some experience with body work. Also, The floor where the second body mounts are under the seats is kinda bowed up, which indicates to me that my little yellow jeep has spent some time in the big blue sky. I'll post pics when I get home tomorow.

I feel ya on the floor. I had the same deal and had to replace the whole passenger side floor pan.
If you do come across a tub or some parts I'll go in half with you cuz I could use a couple body panels as well.

I thought it already looked nice. replace the floorboards and make it run

Exactly. And it has alot more rust than the pictures show. To to mention the underside is dirty as ****. There's 30 years worth of mud and sand under there. Just taking the front fenders off, I had to knock a 50 lb. feedsack full of dirt out of them to get to the bolts, and when I cleaned the tub out, the dirt and leaves that were in it filled up another feed sack. Plus its got alot of booty fab'd **** on there I wouldnt want people thinking I did, so I'm going to have to take care of all that. Take for example, the abortion of a front bumper. Now while I was attemting to take it off when I thought it only bolted on, I was thinking, mane waht a PITA. Then I got all the bolts out and discovered it was welded onto the frame. Peachy. Then, while chaning the blades in my sawzall, I dropped the set screw taht holds the blade in and its gone like a fart in the wind. Bumper- 1, Robert- 0

I think I might add a tailgate, which means I am going to have to find a donor jeep to cut the metal around it off of and the actual gate too. Here are the pics of the floor.

classic enterprises sells the tailgate surround

i wonder what they were thinking when they welded that square tube on there

my 64 has that compartment under the passenger seat. i thought they got rid of that when they did away with the gas tank under the drivers seat

[Sharpe]

Probably cause the glove box is non-existant.

[AggieTJ2007]

wow that is an abortion of a front bumper

[uglyota]

how the hell did you change the thread title?
