Hi all ! I have an 56 Jeep pick up I would like to update with a newer chassis as it does not have an engine trans or transfer case. My question is which chassis would be a good fit to mount cab and box on ? Not s-10! Scout ? Thanks ..read more

55 cj5 installed hydro assist and having clearance issues with radiator. Took it out crawling and was working fine until I think the ram pushed the fittings not directly vertical and then it stoped working as good. What is everyone doing for springs/shackles for lift? I’m on 46” springs(I believe yota springs) on yota axles and 40” tires and 4.5” shackles and need more lift or something to clear this hydro assist. I had added a leaf to boost about 1.75” but after adding a winch settling has... hydro-assist clearance issues ..read more

Hey guys, been on pirate for a little while but mostly stay off due to all the negativity. But found this willys page and figured I’d post up my 55 and document a little of the build going forward. I’ve had this rig since about 2016/17 when my late buddy gave it to me, so I plan on keeping it forever in his memory and continue building it. It’s come a long way since when I got it. Anyways, all that’s pretty much left is the body and frame of the Willys. Chevy drivetrain 4.3l, carb, th350... 55 Willys Jeep CJ5 ..read more

I didn't see a kaiser section here, but this one is between Willys and AMC... Hey folks, I've been a 4x4 enthusiast since I was a kid, and have built a few neat things, most recently a Cummins 4bt powered FJ60, which I recently drove to Moab to wheel. Now that I've decided that project is reliable, I've picked up another project, a 71 Jeep CJ5. This is not my first Jeep, nor my first CJ. This particular Jeep did not cost much, as it is in pieces, and is missing some things, most notably the... 71 CJ5 TDI Conversion ..read more

i currently have a 51 cj3 as some of you might know already from me posting up some stuff. I'm curious what kind of swaps people suggest or would like to do or would like to see? my jeep already has a 327 in it and is fun and cool but i'm not totally sold that a small block is the best motor for these little guys. my idea of a good motor for a little jeep like this is reliability, gas mileage and enough power to move 35's. i don't really care about enough power to do wheelies and roast my... motor swap ideas for a old willys ..read more
