Description

While so many trucks over the years have tried to convince us that they are tough and off-road-ready, one look at this 1979 Jeep CJ5, and it's easy to see what rugged really looks like. Redone with a full fiberglass replacement tub and repainted in this brilliant white, this CJ5 features exterior upgrades, including a tubular bull bar and trail lights up front, side steps and fender flares along the sides, and a tow hitch and tubular bumper in the rear.

Inside, we find a clean, Spartan interior with a body-color dashboard, high-back vinyl bucket seats up front and a matching bench in back, black carpeting, and a roll bar. Adding to that, a body-color fire extinguisher is included, highlighting the attention to detail this truck has received during its restoration. A three-spoke, power-assisted Grant GT steering wheel sits just ahead of a chrome windshield wiper motor cover that matches the knobs used to collapse the windshield, as well as the expletive bar in front of the passenger seat. A simple three-pod gauge cluster sits in the middle of the dash, while the floor-mounted gearshift sits next to the dual-shifter four-wheel drive transmission controls, further proving this truck's readiness to go off-road.

Under the hood, we find a 304 cubic-inch overhead valve V-8 engine. A single four-barrel Edelbrock carburetor sits atop this naturally aspirated motor, while matching Edelbrock headers expel spent gases out through a chrome-tipped dual exhaust. That power is routed through a tried-and-true three-speed manual transmission before being sent to either the rear wheels or all four corners, provided you engage the manually locking front hubs. Powder-coated black fifteen-inch beadlock-style wheels are wrapped in massive 37-inch off-road tires that look great on or off road.
