Description
1971 Jeep CJ-5
I bought this jeep as I planned to pull it behind our RV so I installed Blue Ox tow hooks and completed the wiring for the rear tail and signal lights to the standard 6 pin connector which is mounted on the front bumper. I also installed a breakaway switch and wired it into the cab area for connection to a break buddy.
I still had things I wanted to go through on the jeep and ran out of time so ended up buying a newer jeep already set up to tow so used it all summer and have decided to keep it so likely won't use this jeep much now.
I really don't know too much about these older jeeps but if you have any specific questions, please just call me and I can try and answer them the best I can.
I had still planned to go over the brakes as it does pull to the right when you brake. It does have 4 wheel drums so may be as easy as an adjustment or may need repair as well. I will try and get some time over the winter to look at it if it doesn't sell.
The good
-V6 dauntless motor ( apparently a very solid engine from what I'm told)
-4wd high and lo work although I have only tested it around the parking lot
-E-brake works
-All lights,horn,fan blower work
-Turn signals work (I added an aftermarket turn signal switch assembly and completed the wiring
-I bought a Rain Gear cover (extremely durable) for storing the jeep. It does have a partial soft top but it is not in great shape so figured the Rain Gear cover would protect it better
-Very solid body. Again I am not a jeep expert by any means but had a buddy of mine who knows jeeps quite well have a look over it and he said it was very solid for this year of jeep.
The bad..
-Missing one hood latch
-Does have a few minor leaks (possibly oil or transfer case- just noticed some leakage when I had it parked in the garage and never spent the time looking into it as I was originally planning on going over the jeep this winter anyway)
-Doesn't have power steering so definitely not as easy to steer as power equipped jeeps. Apparently you can convert to power steering which dramatically increases the driveabilty.
-Tires are ok but not the best condition.
Please call with any questions if you are serious. I do have a bunch more pictures on a photobucket album if you want to call or text me, I can get you the web address for you to look at them.
For any USA potential buyers, I can take the Jeep to Sweet Grass, MT for an additional $500 extra. I know sometimes the border crossing might be a hassle for some but I have taken a couple cars across over the years with no issues and there is a border storage place right at Sweet Grass that is very economical so could easily drop Jeep there and can be trucked from that location. I would also consider delivering to certain states close to Montana but please call if that is of interest.
