For Sale - Jeep Related / FS: Jeep CJ5 Project V6 1971 - $3500
« on: March 21, 2016, 10:58:45 pm »
Posted for my brother Steve:
CJ5 project jeep looking for good home
Was a completely running jeep but I pulled it apart to repair the cracks in the body and make a better family roll cage. I did a bunch of body work replaced 70% of the body with 1/4" (rocker panels), 3/16" ( rear corners), 1/8" (rear floor, rear fenders) and made the new roll cage.
I have since developed new priorities and do not want o make the time to finish.
Some details:
- 225 V6 motor 35,000 mile on rebuild - with throttle body injection
- sm420 4 speed transmission with advanced adapter to Dana 18 transfer case
- narrow Dana 44 front end with Detroit locker, 4:56 gears, and disc brakes
- offset rear 44 with, Detroit locker, warn full float kit, disc brake, and lockout hubs
- power steering
- family style roll cage
- 4 point harnesses
- Hydraulic clutch
- 10.5 X 33 BFG all terrains on steel rims - 90% tread
- frame is partially boxed and in good shape
- front winch
- 2" lifted leaf springs
- full soft top
Currently the body is sitting on the frame with only two bolts holding it to the frame,
The hood and fenders are removed the one fender is dented and has a crack in it the other fender and hood are in good shape.
The dash is completely disassembled and will need to have the wiring harness reworked to be reassembled
The body is mostly bare metal but still has some spots with previous paint and has Bondo as filler to smooth surfaces.
To make it jeep road worthy:
- few more body mounts need to welded on frame and body needs to be bolted on, I have all the bolts, mounting material, and large washer
- rear fuel tank (with heavy skid plate) needs to be reinstalled, fuel lines need to be rerun, fuel pump needs to be remounted
- needs exhaust I have a pair of rearward exit exhaust manifolds that were to go on
- The pedals need to be re-hung (bolts holes are there), holes for the master cylinders (brakes and clutch) and hole for the steering shaft/column needs to be cut in the fire wall
- Cable style fuel pedal needs to be reinstalled
- need to cut holes in the body for the transfer case shifters
- transmission shifter hole needs to be enlarged
- Dash needs to be patched/replaced and all gauges need to be reinstalled including rewired -- all gauges worked before they were removed
- The windshield assembly bolted on
- seats and 4 point harness need to be mounted
- roll cage needs to have sharp edges ground down and bolted in -- bolts to dash reinforced dash mounts
- rear lights need to be mounted and wired - I have wrangler lights for it
- I have a rear seat for it and a center console
- soft top hardware needs be reinstalled
- front bumper needs to be bolted back on

How about plowing?
I was out Sat. from 2 to midnight and again all yesterday plowing out neighbors and my parents farm in the trusty, rusty CJ with 4 chains and the 6.5ft blade. It's nice to be back at work to rest.
I'll send a picture in for JOTM.

Regional Issues / PA Bureau of Forestry Resource plan Public Input - email or take survey
« on: November 16, 2015, 10:44:45 pm »
PA Jeeps Members,
The Harrisburg Bureau of Forestry public feedback meeting has been rescheduled to Wed. Nov. 18 at 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM. The location is Room 105, Rachel Carson State Office Bldg. 400 Market Street, Harrisburg 17101.
The new time makes it more difficult for most of us to attend. Now it is even more important for each of us to send in personal comments at: StateForestPlan2015@pa.gov or use the feedback survey here: http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/forestry/stateforestmanagement/sfrmp/2015sfrmp/survey/index.htm
The plan is available for review at http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/forestry/stateforestmanagement/sfrmp/2015sfrmp/index.htm The important pages for us about recreation are 166-184 where full-sized 4 Wheel Drive recreation is not included as a user group in the new plan. Only scenic driving is mentioned for licensed vehicles. There is still the network of Drivable Trails which are not recommended for low clearance vehicles. That is where we need to be counted as forest users. The plan points to the Bureau of Forestry's recreation page: http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/forestry/recreation/index.htm. Again, nothing more than scenic driving listed. There isn't even mention under the Other Recreation page: http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/forestry/recreation/otherrecreation/index.htm where at least motorcycles are mentioned.
Remember, it's your public land, don't get managed out of it.

Here is the press release which announced the change:
DCNR Plans Final Public Meeting, Extends Public Comment Period on Draft State Forest Management Plan
Harrisburg, PA – The Conservation & Natural Resources Advisory Council will sponsor the last of 12 statewide meetings held by the state Bureau of Forestry to seek continued public input on changes to its master management plan charting the course of Pennsylvania’s state forests for future generations.
The public session will be held 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, in Room 105 of the Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market St., Harrisburg. An effort will be made to hear all relevant comment, organizers said.
"The council is proud to host the final session in a series of public meetings that are so important in charting the future path of our state forest system," said Conservation & Natural Resources Advisory Council Chairman L. Richard Sayles. "CNRAC has an extensive history of hosting listening sessions where citizens are asked to comment on Department of Conservation and Natural Resources plans, as well as working with Bureau of Forestry and other DCNR officials on protection and proper use of our state forests and state parks.
"To maximize long-term health, sustainability and economic use of Penn’s Woods for future generations, the council extends an open invitation to attend this presentation of the bureau’s State Forest Resource Management Plan, review it, and make public comment."
Beginning Oct. 6, in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area, the bureau scheduled 12 public meetings across the state to seek comment on revisions to its forest management plan. The meetings specifically focus on proposed plan revisions. The plan can be found at http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/forestry/stateforestmanagement/sfrmp/2015sfrmp/index.htm.
Buoyed by public interest and comment on the plan, and to maximize public feedback, DCNR Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn today announced the cut-off date for written public comment has been extended from Nov. 30 to Jan. 31, 2016.
"Either by written comment, or speaking next Wednesday, I invite all our state forest visitors to learn more about the woodlands they know and love," Dunn said. "Public participation is crucial for the understanding of proposed updates, and these opportunities are in line with the bureau’s ongoing commitment to continuously interact with the public on state forest management.
"Gifford Pinchot defined conservation as ‘wise use of the earth and its resources for the lasting good of men,’ and that tenet is embodied in this plan."
The secretary noted the state’s wealth of forestland provides an abundance of benefits to Pennsylvanians, including wildlife and aesthetic beauty, vital timber products, water purification, valuable revenue from gas extraction from existing leases, and a variety of healthful recreational opportunities. Successfully balancing various forest uses, resources, and values requires thoughtful and deliberate measures, she said, which, since 1955, have shaped State Forest Resource Management Plans (SFRMPs) guiding both management and communication of its principles and goals to the public.
The latest management plan provides a broad framework from which the bureau can develop future district-level plans focusing on local resources and values, and incorporating increased public input.
The 2015 SFRMP also provides points of emphasis for future management, such as climate change, conservation of wild character, prescribed fire, lakes, river islands, cultural resources, and communication via social media and interpretative opportunities. Also, the latest plan has been stream-lined to make it more useable and accessible -- for both for staff reference and public consumption.
Written comments will be accepted until Jan. 31, 2016. Interested parties may submit comments at StateForestPlan2015@pa.gov; at the final Nov. 18 public meeting; or by mail at: Bureau of Forestry Planning Section, P.O. Box 8552, Harrisburg PA 17105-8552. There is also a web-based survey, available at the above website that is a convenient way to provide feedback on the plan.
Originally established in 1995 by the same legislation creating DCNR, the Conservation & Natural Resources Advisory Council (CNRAC) is governed by a legislative charge to serve as the foremost source of quality advice to the department in sustaining the natural environment for all Pennsylvanians to enjoy and appreciate. Focus of the council is on the conservation and stewardship of Pennsylvania’s natural resources, and there is no other entity broadly charged with providing citizen perspectives on issues affecting all DCNR-managed lands.

Look for one in a Gladiator. Most of the lower GVW's (less than the J4000) were Dana 53's. That is where I got mine. Actually, I pulled both axles (closed knuckle D44 front / D53 rear with PowerLock) which got me 4.27 gears and removable / self-adjusting brake drums.
You can also try Walck's for a used unit. I think I got a replacement clutch pack from him (although that was a long time ago.)
This guy in Felton ran a CL ad about a year ago and he had 2 old Gladiators (Jeep gladiator truck parts - call with needs.717-873-1703)

General Discussion / CJ Tire offers damage insurance - covers off-road damage also
« on: October 16, 2015, 01:20:20 pm »
CJ tires is offering damage insurance that includes free replacement of a tire damaged if it occurs before 50% of the tread is worn. The sales guy told my brother that they have already replaced tires torn from off-roading.

Found one on the front of Mike's YJ. But looks like it came from a Dana 20 anyway.

Wanted - Jeep Related / WTB: 26 Spline 1310 CV yoke for a Dana 20 / Dana 300

I need a 26 Spline 1310 CV yoke for a Dana 20 / Dana 300.
I'm putting a CV rear driveshaft in the CJ7. Found a Bronco CV driveshaft that fits perfectly. Came with a 10 spline yoke for the Tcase. Turns out my Dana 20 has the 26 spline output shafts. The 10 spline yokes are more common for older rigs.
Just wondering if anyone has one laying around. Might have been on the front of a Quadratrac or D20 in a FSJ or CJ7. There may be other applications out there.
