Jim’s Jeep CJ5

1979 Jeep CJ-5

My Dad Jim, a Vietnam vet, bought this CJ5 in 1991. Even though it was only 12 years-old, it was pretty beat up. Jim did a frame-off restoration. My Mom picked the paint color, Ford Light Evergreen Frost Metallic. The half doors were custom made but we’re not sure by who, my Dad found them at a swap meet in Yuma, Arizona. In 2016 my Dad gave me the CJ. Since then I put on a BDS 4.5” YJ conversion lift, 33s, KC lites and Fox shocks.
