i won the ebay auction!!!!
« on: November 22, 2009, 06:32:00 PM »
i am proud to announce that i am an owner of a JEEP.
i won the auction in the last 10 seconds.

It is a 1977 CJ5 out of Washington State.
No rust.
It has a 1971  4bolt main Chevy 350 with a T18 tranny 4 speed.
Dana 44 with ARB locker
Dana 30 with ARB locker and manual hubs.
Warn 8274 winch
lots of Tuffy boxes.
Full soft top
Only 130,000KMS with only 100,000kms on the motor
Previous owner had it for 18 years. A 61 yr old retired cop.
He has no wheelin pics as it was used for backcountry roads in Utah and Arizona. i believe him.  i have had many emails and phone conversations to feel 'good' about his descriptions.
Always garage kept.
New 32x10.50 Maxxis Bighorns.
LOTS more...
i will probably fly down there and drive it back or go pick it up using the tow bar that comes with it.

pics to follow.

That's a sweet lookin CJ... congrats!

Flat towing through the mountains in the winter may be a little scary though... have ya looked into having it brought up on a transport truck?

PM me if ya have any questions on the importation process... I have done 5 to date (4 newer than 15yrs and 1 older than 15yrs). Process is very easy if ya know what your doing.

Thanks everyone.
Oh yeah, it has 4 wheel disc brakes!

Clay, i will know more about Toy run when i finalize plans to get it. i should know by Tuesday.

Kevin,
Thanks for any help. Do you have connections to Transport?
Dom, do you?

Would flat towing be tough? i have a Dodge ext cab Longbox...

i might just drive it. It would be an adventure!

Sweet ride, Tom!  If I had the time, I'd drive it.  But Muffintop (Kevin) knows the shipping and you probably can't do it yourself for the same price as shipping it here based on what he has told me. 

Can't wait to see ya on the trail!

And so you should be proud. You're now the owner of a very classy jeep.  :)  Nice find.
He sure has some good money into a rig never wheeled before. I'll have to remember that one line if I go to sell mine. Never been off road. Just used it for the backcountry  roads of Alberta. ;D
Seriously though, very fine rig, and I'm sure you'll love it once you get use to it. The old rigs come with their own personallity that only the original owner can appreciate. 8)

Thanks Gun.
It could be a 'line' but i tried every angle to get him to send me wheelin pics. He was embarrassed that he has none. His wife and him pull a tent trailer and travel. It also has spent 1/3 of those miles on engine being pulled behind a truck.
Retired couple. Former law enforcement.
Super nice guy.
it is weird to say, but i trust that this jeep has been babied.

Woo hoo!

But you can use that 'line' too if you ever part with your CJ. lol.
