CJ5 vs CJ7
 

I'm sure I could probably find something if I search, but one of you
probably has a link or a chart of some sort. I would like to know the
fifferences between the CJ5 and CJ7. I found a CJ5 ad in the local paper
here and the price id definitely right unless it is a basket case. All I
know about it is it is a 1979 CJ5 and the asking price is $1700 OBO with a
"must sell" in the ad. I have left a message with the guy and am waiting for
a call back. I have to say I am ignorant about the CJ5 and would like to
know the main differences from a CJ7. I do like the looks of the 5. I sure
hope this thing isn't sitting in a pile of boxes or something, LOL.

TIA
Chris

Re: CJ5 vs CJ7
 

The 5 has a shorter wheel base and it's a narrow trac axles I believe. And,
don't some CJ7s have narrow trac to a certian year?

There are some things which made me happy I bought a later year CJ. Right
now I can't think of any but if I were to buy another CJ I would want the
latest year made (86).

You might want to find out about:

1. oil pressure (make sure the gauge is working)
2. compression check

To make sure the engine is ok.

Of course, ask about miles and what kind of engine.

My 2 cents.

Re: CJ5 vs CJ7
 

The post '76 CJ5 is basically the same as the CJ7 but with a shorter
wheelbase. Issues with them depend upon the year. Pre-76 is a whole other
matter.
