This Jeep
was brought to us to restore on October 5, 2008 from Missouri.
This Jeep was restored back to it's original condition and was
painted with the green body and yellow rims paint scheme.
This project
as we progressed became more and more peculiar. Someone had previously
tried to make a rock climber out of this Jeep but we found that
the frame was not a CJ2A frame. We noticed this when we tried
to install the original springs. We went back to the original
pictures and you can see the frame is longer because the wheels
don't match up with the wheel wells or front fenders. So we had
a CJ2A frame here so we started all over sandblasting it and used
the correct frame and everything went together just fine on this
frame.
This Jeep
was a combination of a CJ2A body, CJ5 frame, and a CJ3B engine.
