I just have so many memories with this truck (good and bad). I bought a Warn 8274 winch about 15 years ago and it came attached to this truck. It was bone stock and very dirty but I just couldn’t part with it. My son is now eyeballing it and wants to rebuild the front end and start driving it.

What I love the most about my 1969 Jeep CJ5 is that it is more green than a Prius! Now I am not some sissy hippie flower lover, but ask yourself where is a $30,000 Prius going to be in 40 + years? This old iron is running the original Dauntless 225 V6, coupled to T-18 4 speed manual transmission w/6.32:1 low gear and a Dana 18 transfer case with twin sticks! Oh sure it has 4:88 Dana 44's with ARB Lockers front and rear - but those are outa an old Ford so = GREEN!

What I love the most about my Jeep is that I can add so many mods, it's an addiction!! The Wrangler is an amazing all-terrain vehicle.

I love my Jeep because I can wheel it hard all day and drive it all day on the street. She's not a trailer queen. The attached pic is in Silver lake Michigan. We drove the Jeep there, towing our camper. On the street she gets better mileage than alot of bone stock trucks. Best of all, I built her from the frame up, built not bought!!
