M1A1TankerTom Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 hey guys I might pick up this CJ5 this weekend, want you all to take a look and let me know your honest opinion. Thanks. http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/2173648075.html
btm24 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Looks like a win to me :clapping: you may want to talk him down a bit tho maybe to 4.5k? Let us know how it all works out Brandon
M1A1TankerTom Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 ya i was hoping for 4.5K. Wondering what you guys think of the rig...look like a good rig? Look like some good upgrages? You think it will wheel good? Drive on highway good? Any opinions are appreciated!
btm24 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 well All I can say is that I think that the tires are bfg all terrain...well you may want to look into new tires Brandon
kyleag89 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I would say that wouldn't be very good for highway driving, but how far would you wanna go anyway? Looks like a nice rig, but idk much about the prices of those older cjs.
M1A1TankerTom Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 ya tires are bfg all terrains I'm looking for more of something I can wheel than drive on the highways, the guys says it will do 70 all day on the highways but thats about the top speed. Says no wobble on the street. I'm not too worried about its road characteristics, as long as it could make it to work and back. As for the price I checked all of california craigslist ads for cj5's. seems to actually be a decent price for one in good condition. I have found a lot of them asking higher prices that don't seem as nice. Why do you think he went with toyota axles?

The SM 420 has a 7.2 to 1 crawl ratio in 1st gear....and a 4.7:1 t-case toy conversion...COME ON!! This Jeep will have a 638:1 crawl ratio in 4lo and 1st gear...which is STUPID SWEET!! At 750 RPM idle it will crawl 11 feet per minute.... You won't hit 3000 RPM till you hit 76 MPH, so it's streetability should be fine. Buy it, it was built right, and built well!
