Thought the LX was little to clean, very nice ride.
Anyway, nice getting lost with you.

Re: "65 CJ-5A Tuxedo Park Mark IV

Since the rear spring mounts that welded to the frame side aren't going to work, didn't drop the spring far enough, new rear spring mounts were made. to bad the mounts is blurry but it's a great shot of the brake clean and grinder.

Re: "65 CJ-5A Tuxedo Park Mark IV

Rear bumper time. Started with this idea for a rear bumper, it will also serve as the rear shackle mounts too. There will be a tow hook on each side of the hitch but I'm not really good with loffs and faces, so no hook shown. The hitch will also be inserted into the angle brackets of the stock early...

I was thinking it's about time to tie the front together and a bumper would do just fine, or at least the start of a bumper, things always seem to change.

Re: "65 CJ-5A Tuxedo Park Mark IV

Who ever built this Jeep originally did a very good job. There are a few thing I don't like but over all the conversion was clean. One reason the front came off, there was no front crossmember. They tried a big plate welded across the front frame but NO support for the radiator except the small stra...

The left side will probably need more support than just the latch, maybe just a plate for the bottom bar to sit on while closed. This will help the the bouncing fatigue at the pivot mount. There are a couple of places that sell bearing mounts for the right side (to lazy to look right now) but it loo...

The cage was certainly a liability in that case. . .really too bad.

The seats also look like they came loose and I'm sure the s...
