1981 Jeep CJ CJ5 Description

This is a frame off, rotisserie restored 81 CJ5. Here are the basics.... 258ci straight 6, 4spd, 4wd. 33" tires.
This was taken down to a bare frame, which was put on a Cheif EZliner frame rack and adjusted to make sure it was true. A few modifications were made, it was then sandblasted and powder coated.The tub was stripped to bare metal, patches grafted in, and an additional 2x2 stainless box tube was welded into the rear gate support area for the spare tire mount. The entire tub was powder coated with zinc infused primer inside and out. The under side was also powder coated yellow. The inside was sprayed with Raptor color matched bed liner, and the exterior was worked and painted to show level. This was also done to both fenders. The entire grille, Windshield frame, and rollbar have been powder coated black with a powder clear as well. Custom nerf bars welded to the frame. Quadratec Fender Flares. Custom vinyl Graphics.Original tow hitch.
