Mike Gray's 1974 CJ-5 Renegade
One evening in late
spring I took my family for a ride in the
jeepfan.com 78 CJ-5 which was recently
re-assembled from a new Holley Truck Avenger
carburetor and some exhaust work. Upon
returning home there were 3 CJ's parked in front
of my house, Rich, Mark, and Mike. They
were out for some pre-summer air and paid a
visit, luckily I returned home in time to catch
them.
The very first
thing that caught my eye was a bright yellow
CJ-5 Renegade. I grabbed the camera and
had Mike bring the Jeep into my yard for a few
pictures.
 The
Jeep is a 1974 CJ-5 Renegade that has been
restored to near factory condition. The
304 under the hood is completely stock and is
still mated to the T-15 3 speed transmission.
The interior is still stock and only has a few
add-ons like a tach and temperature gauge.
The original steel
body was replaced with a Four Wheel Hardware
fiberglass tub and fenders. The hood,
grill, and windshield remain steel. A
small SuperLift lift was added to replace the
worn out leaf springs.

The factory color
and decals were maintained to keep this Jeep all
original. Other cool little details are
the factory rear bumper and factory spare tire
still on the aluminum slotted rim.
All this Jeep needs
is a complete set of factory aluminum slots! |
