I've just "finished" my Willys and unfortunately must sell it.
If you want to show up at the trail in something unique check it out.
Frame:
Main rails are 2" dia .188 wall DOM.
Rest of cage is 1 5/8" dia .120 wall DOM.
Suspension: Long arm 4 link frt & rear
All arms have 3/4" teflon heims with mis-alignment
bushings on the frame end and poly bushings on the
axle side. All arms are .188 wall DOM. Springs are
from a Grand Cherokee.
Drivetrain: Has the entire drivetrain from a 1997 TJ.
2.5 liter, 5 speed, NP231 all in good shape.
Has 105,000 miles
Uses stock TJ gas tank which is tucked way up in the
body.
Has a big aluminum Griffon radiator
Has stock 4-11 dana 30 and 35. Obviously something
needs to happen here. I was going to do a locker and
30 spline axles for the 35 but maybe someones got some
killer axles laying around.
Uses a Vega manual master cylinder for the TJ brakes
and it stops well with the 32" tires that are on it.
Uses a TJ manual steering box with a CJ5 column.
I think a TJ power box and pump would be a bolt in.
Body: The body pretty much is the cage but it
does use the cowl, windshield, hood and grill
from the Willys. The title is clear and it's
registered as a 1948 CJ2A.
It drives like a mildly lifted TJ on the road and goes really well off road not to be locked. The suspension works great. It's got a lot of articulation.
$8,200 is a bargain for a rig like this.
I live in Marshall NC. (near Asheville)
I have lots of pictures I can email you: jcalhoun67@yahoo.com
