Last year about this time, a fellow Jeeper posted a link to a CJ6 for sale in Oregon. After, talking to the gentleman that was selling it we came to an agreement. Now, how to get it back to TX? I was headed to Idaho, to hunt late October, so I had a hotshot company transport it to my friends place in Utah. After my hunt, I loaded it on a trailer and headed home. This CJ6 has a lot of what I was looking for, already done, Turbo 400, 225 Dauntless, and a surprisingly strait body and very little rot!!! So after some thinking I decided to sell my 71 CJ5 and put the funds into the 6. As it looked when I picked it up. The trip home, stopped off in Moab just cuz. Home, and behind the shop. After, thinking about the build, I decided to swap out the axles on the 5 and 6. Then I wanted to improve the rock crawling ability, so I ordered a Rocky Road YJ spring conversion. I got it bolted up, I will weld it at a later time. I like the new stance. Last edited by sactoller; 10/02/19. Official member of "The Clan of Turd-like People"

I am going to add hanging brake pedal, power brakes, new tilt steering column, new seats, probably and extra (2nd) fuel tank. Fab up a new front bumper, rear bumper and stuff. So started with getting the Diamond plate off, roll-cage out... Heater and blower are out, I will run an aftermarket heater defroster. Official member of "The Clan of Turd-like People"

Got the dash off, the tangled weave of wires out and started to position the hanging brake pedal. I am waiting on a plasma cutter, which will make this fab work much easier.

It is just bolted up for now, will weld the plates on in the coming weeks. Official member of "The Clan of Turd-like People"
