This 1979 Jeep CJ-5 was purchased in 2018 by the seller, who performed the build for their daughter.
A replacement 304ci V8 was installed and modified with an FiTech fuel injection system, an Edelbrock intake manifold, and MSD ignition.
Power is sent through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range Dana transfer case, and the truck rides on a 2″ suspension lift with Rough Country shocks and 16″ Ion Alloy wheels.
A replacement frame was sourced and installed over the fiberglass body, which has an orange bed liner finish.
