CJ-5 Brother


My big brother John always wanted a Jeep. On a trip to Los
Alamos a couple weeks ago, I spotted this little 74 CJ-5 in Aztec



Body, transmission, oil pan, differentials look fine. Engine is
clean and it's a V-8, hummana!

In LA, I showed John the Jeep and he said its exactly what he wants.
I said, "You want a bushwacker or a pretty one." "I want a bushwacker.
How much?" I said "3750", he replied "I can't afford that until the girls
get out of college." (Which could be 7 years from now). I thought to myself
my brother is postponing fun in his life for 7 years.

What's the point of that?

John has done so much for me, I figured it was appreciation time




So I bought it for him.







Got the trailer lights working and pulled the present to LA for wee little surprise, CJ style







Mom's excited



Tight fit for Maggi, how will John fit?



Pulled my sick brother out of bed and let him have it!



He was surprised and excited. A real boy toy, just for me!











Didn't need the ramps but used them anyway



Buckle up Maggi, we's Jeepin'



He fits, well sorta. Lucky it's a softtop



Short, fun ride ends at 4197







Looks good from here



Have fun John!!
