I own a 1978 CJ-5. Not sure of the model. It doesn't have an opening tailgate. My father Jim bought the Jeep from a farmer in Southern CA about 8 years ago. It was in great shape to start with. Only 45K original miles on the inline 6 motor. Since purchasing the Jeep we have done quite a few upgrages, all from the Quadratec Catalog.

  • 32" Goodyear MTR's x5
  • Warn Bumpers front and rear
  • Warn Tire Carrier
  • Warn 9000ti Winch
  • Warn Rocker Guards
  • KC Slimlite fog and spot lights
  • Dual Optima Yellow Top Batteries
  • Mean Green Starter and Alternator
  • Phantom Gauges (RPM, Volts, Gas Level, Water temp, Oil Press)
  • Water Pump
  • Tuffy Center Console
  • Billet knobs (Wipers, Vents, Heater)
  • ARB Compressor
  • ARB Lockers front and rear
  • Mastercraft Seats (Drivers, Passengers, Rear)
  • 3" Skyjacker Lift
  • Carpet Kit
  • Pioneer Stereo
  • New Steering Wheel
  • Upgraded to a performance distributor
  • Aluminum Dash Panel
  • Upgraded fuel tank
  • Fuel Tank Skid Plate
  • Kentrol Stainless hinges and hood loops/latches.
  • RockIt Differential Guards front and rear
  • American Racing Polished Atlas Series 160 Wheels
  • One Piece Rear axle upgrade
  • Uniden CB Radio
  • Bestop

and many more I am sure I am overlooking. We saved the receipts on everything. This Jeep gets quite a few compliments every time I take it out. It is lots of fun to drive. I also have a 97 Jeep Wrangler TJ which you can just see in the background of the first photo.
