Mike, heres some photos of my 1963 Willys Jeep CJ-5 frame off restoration took about 4 years to get it on the road. Put in a new floor, fabricated and patch paneled the rest added some wood because I like to work with wood and for something different. Roll bars were put on after some of the photos. Also have photos of different stages of restoration. Still is a work in progress. Thanks Bill Wagner Chicago, Il

These are some pictures of my 1961 Willy’s CJ5 Jeep. The Serial is 57548134623 and it was manufactured in July of 1961. When I brought it home in Dec. of 2010 it had 9279 miles. It belonged to Fire District 9 of Spokane, WA. from new to 1995 when it was sold at surplus. I bought it from the gentleman who purchased it at surplus and displayed it in his showroom of his Dodge dealership for 9 years. We live in Royal City, WA. and make our living producing hay for export, domestic dairy, feed stores and horses. We enjoy going for evening drives around the countryside and taking in the views that can only be found driving a convertible! I joke and tell people that this is my Therapy Jeep because it is much more fun to work on and drive than tractors and balers. The parts are less expensive too! <br><br> Bob Wieldraayer<br> Royal City, WA.

This is my 1959 Willys CJ5. I bought it a few years ago for $400. The Jeep has 18,017 Original Miles, Original Drive-train, it even had the Original Tires on it and with a little tinkering on the carb it runs very well. It spent its life on a cattle ranch, and was stored in the barn when not being used. I had planned on swapping the 134 F-Head engine for a 4 Cylinder John Deere Turbo Diesel, But after hearing from many people that I have a \"Diamond in the Rough\" I have since decided to fix it up back to its original beauty.

Hi Mike. Attached please find a chronology of photos of the restoration of my 1966 CJ5. When I purchased the Jeep, I bought it from the original owner and it only has 38,000 miles on it. The restoration process took me just over a year. I hope you enjoy the photos! Thanks for all of your help in supplying the parts to complete the restoration and for answering the dozens of questions I had along the way.
Thanks,

I wouldn’t romnceed a 6 in lift if you aren’t gonna do some serious 4 wheeling. As far as tire 31/10.50 s look pretty good and you don’t need a lift for those. I run cooper discoverers in that size on my 99 and they cost me about $150 each, and look really good.
Wow nice pictures. I know what im going to be spending my money on!
Thanks Tom – and my apologies for the misspelling! I’ve got you all fixed up now. 🙂 Have a great weekend…

I would like to have my last name spelled correctly please.
