Eric, what's the history w/ this super clean '5?

One owner?

Looks great!

It's a one owner out of Grants Pass, Oregon with 62 k orig miles. 1979 w/ 304 v8, 3 spd and the color is called wedgewood blue, a one year only color. Ironically it was sitting 5 miles from the J20 wrecker when I was there in June and didn't even know it. Found it online, yes. Guy was 73 years old and it hasn't been driven much over 45 mph it's whole life. The 8274 was installed when new, have original paperwork from day one on the warn including warranty card dated early 79. I am trading it to a fellow board member as I have never been a big winch guy. The black softtop is coming off too and I am gonna run a Levi blue bikini only.

Wow, that is a great find!

Thought it must've been all original for you to trek back to Oregon again!

Certainly not many original ones like this left out there - glad it's in good hands!

Well I still have to tell the Arkansas story from last year with the two j trucks and ill get to that next time I have some time. Recently I went to sandblast and on the way there bought an M715, one i had been chasing for about 2 years. There are some pics of it on the dunes in the sandblast thread. I dollied it home with the California Chevy that dollied the wrecker home. I have now put 9000 miles on that truck in 9 weeks.

Today the camo J10 sportside got delivered, the one that i had left behind at my uncles house in Sacramento, above. I used the yesterdays tractor hauling forum and found a guy who picked it up along with the parts from the other J10 and CJ parts i had bought while getting the CJ5 and he built that contraption u see on the back to keep things dry. It had a military tarp on it before this pic. He also hauled some loose parts under it.

The 10-4 got parted out so the only thing remaining still out west is the 79 CJ-5.
 
Doin a little road tripping again this weekend, went to the 4wd hardware jamboree today in columbiana ohio on the way to Akron to pick up a sign and then head further west, farthest being Madison, WI, by Saturday.

Most jeeps were coming Saturday but still a good turnout today and beautiful weather. Stayed an hour or two and talked to the silver CJ guy and m715 guy a while.

Then onto Akron for this, a Craigslist find several weeks ago:

Now Westward, more. :thumbsup:
 
That explains why I said I was mad I had to work today and you had no response... finally got my beer... after I put chains on the tractor and got the other tractor mowing agian, and sway bar bushings on the UK Jeep and had to put shocks in place as well... LOL... sounds like I am a farmer. Milk the cows, get the eggs, do this, do that and it isn't even sunup yet!

Have fun, stay safe, get a ton of good stuff!

Thanks, I been looking for one of these for a long time, ever since seeing one hang in Dans shop (I mean surgical precision operating room ;) :bow: ) in Belgium.

It's about 4' square and dates to about 1976. Jeep did the truck center marketing scheme for just a few years when the honcho came out and they were competing big time with Chevy and Ford.
 
Today it's on to Madison to meet board member MNscott and exchange some parts. Scott and I had bought some parts in MI a few years ago and small stuff has been exchanged over the years but he has a set of my doors, I have a set for him and a tailgate etc so that's the reason for my furthest western stop, Madison.

Since my last post, stopped at an old dealership in Ohio and bought another sign and some parts , the sign which I am picking up on way back Monday.
Stopped at Big Walton's in MI then onto Milwaukee Saturday morning.

Downtown Milwaukee in front of the ale house some sort of regatta with a bunch of drunk people and costumes was going on. :cheers:

Wow it's a small world. Downtown Milwaukee is very nice too and the ale house has a great beer selection.

This was the bed after meeting with Scott and another stop in Ohio:

And had to rearrange all that at my final stop and I am now homeward bound :thumbsup:
