Cool B&W photo from 1976, Pete managed to get his 1970 CJ-5 sporting a steel hard top stuck in the obstacle course mud hole at the EC4WDA Wanamakers race grounds during a work weekend. The Jeep ran a 225 V6, T-14 3 speed, and Warn Overdrive. For many years the EC4WDA held races at this …
This 1974 CJ belongs to long time PA Jeeps member Robert Behler and is a staple of the PA Jeeps All Breeds Jeep show since perhaps the beginning. While we don’t know the owner (and I swear I’ve never seen him) it’s become a thing to see what has changed with this Jeep annually over …
We don’t cover much FSJ on jeepfan.com and perhaps we should. Occasionally one pops up that catches our eye a little more than others. Along with our lack of coverage of the FSJ we tend to love and appreciate Jeeps that stay true to being a Jeep and not looking like a toy. 1974 was …

The controversial Jeep quickly turned into possibly the most successful open roof style Jeep model ever. Just …
Some off road pics from OK Auto Rock Krawl 2000. The grounds in Monticello NY offered some great off roading, mud, hills, rocks. All there.
After the installation of the new suspension some further sprucing up of the jeepfan.com 1978 CJ-5 was in order. The Mickey Thomson MTZ tires on the Classic II wheels served the Jeep well from both a performance and appearance perspective but a look change just felt needed. US Mags makes many styles of wheels but …
The final piece to the Old Man Emu suspension install on our 78 CJ-5 is the addition of the Crabtree Tool & Die YJ style 4″ shackles on both the front and rear of the CJ. These shackles are real nice and are super heavy duty. Thick steel plates with a center bolt and grease-able spring …
