'72 Cj-5

[HudsonHawk]

Yeah, I know it's not Miata related but I thought someone may be interested. I have come to the conclusion that the Jeep I built is too much for the type of wheeling I like to do. So here it is so I can start over and build one to do what I like to do. This is a turn key Jeep. Nothing needs to be done to it to make it work.
