Great Jeep Project

Description for Jeep CJ 1976

Twenty-two years ago I purchased a 1976 Jeep CJ7 as a second vehicle. Money. time and influence of 4-wheel drive clubs brought change and improvements to my once humble little CJ. The most drastic change came after back to back to back combat deployments. Having the desire and at the time a financial means. I purchased about $25. 00 in aftermarket parts and accessories. competely disassembled it and started making my dream a reality. I addressed every weakness. A parts listing is included but I will expand with details and level of completion where nescessary. - The rear end is done. It is a corporate 14 with DETROIT LOCKERS. 4. 56 gears. DUTCHMAN axle shafts (factory ones included as spares). ORU dis brake conversion with stainless brake lines with gravel guard. CRANE diff cover and a 1410 series yoke. It is rust free and painted chassis black. -The front end is a Dana 60 with DETROIT ELECTRAC LOCKER and 4. 56 gears. Included but not yet installed are YUKON inner and outer axles. WARN hubs.

The rear whell openings have been enlarged to TJ size and shape. The armor is bare. unfinished metal with light surface rust. -The POSION SPIDER CUSTOMS full trail cage is completely fitted and welded. It needs to be drilled for seat belt/harnass mounts. It is bare. unfinished metal with light surface rust. -The 350 Chevy is proven mill. It was machined. balanced and built about 20. 00 miles ago.

There is a new flywheel and floor shifter. -The 3. 8 to 1 ATLAS transfer case is brand new and still in the original box. It has the ADVANCED ADAPTERS transmission to transfer case adapter. I ordered it with the flange on the rear output instead of a yoke because I was going to run a HIGH ANGLE DRIVELINE rear driveshaft with double cardan joint and flange on the end.

Brand new RAMSEY 9500 VTI Wireless winch with synthetic rope. aluminum hawse and mount. This should anwer most of the questions but I cannot anticipate all of them. Everything to build my dream Jeep and hopefully yours too is included except driveshafts and shocks. It needs to be assembled to measure for these items. I was going to run Bilstein Shocks. Tom Woods Custom Drivelines front driveshaft and Hight Angle Drivelines rear driveshaft but I'll leave that up to the new owner. There is no top for the Jeep but the roll cage is designed to allow any soft or hard top to work. This is a great Jeep! I addressed every weakness I had encountered or could fathom when selecting parts and direction of this build. It has a clean title. It has the potential to make someone very happy. So why am I selling after 22 years of loyalty. growth. passion and good old fashioned fun? The bottom line is I have to. My family is having a finacial crisis and frankly we need the money. DO NOT interpret need and crisis to mean you can steal this Jeep away for pennies on the dollar. My family appreciates your interest in this Jeep.
