My first Jeep was a model of a CJ5 when I was 4 years old, I still have a piece of it somewhere.
My first driver was a 1965 Tuxado Park CJ5 3 on the tree with a single lever spicer 18 Tcase and high ratio 4.27 gears.
I have had over a 100 Jeeps since then and currently make do with 4 running CJ7s, a ultra nice 85 J20 (4 sale), various other frames, axles, trannys, parts waggys and the wifes Rubi.
