Synopsis

Build and modify your Jeep CJ to unlock its full potential with instruction from Jeep guru Michael Hanssen.

In Jeep CJ 1972-1986: How to Build & Modify, Michael covers all of the systems that can be upgraded to improve your Jeep's performance. Upgrades include suspension components such as springs, shocks, and steering modifications; driveline components including differentials, transmissions, transfer cases, and axles; engine upgrades including engine swaps; wheel and tire upgrades; aftermarket accessories; armor such as skid plates and bumpers; brake upgrades; and more.

Identifying the Jeep CJ series vehicles as the most popular off-road vehicles of all time may actually qualify as an understatement. They really are that popular. The CJ series arguably started after World War II with the CJ-2A being introduced to the masses, and while the early CJs have their share of enthusiasts, the largest group of enthusiasts began their love affair with the AMC-powered Jeep CJ-5s beginning in 1972. Joined by the longer-wheelbase CJ-7 models introduced in 1976, the CJ models were wildly popular through their discontinuation in 1986, when the Wrangler was introduced. These were the only models originally equipped with V-8 engines in any meaningful way. This era combined the ruggedness of the early Jeeps with some of the advancements and horsepower of a more modern era; it makes a platform that is both fun to own and to modify.

Whether you are looking to get into serious off-roading or just want to make your classic CJ a little more fun, this book will be a valuable tool in your shop or library.

About the Author

"Michael Hanssen has been living the Jeep lifestyle since he was 3 years old riding in his dad's 1970 Jeep CJ-5. Years of trail riding, building, and modifying Jeeps along with following off road Jeep racing only served to drive a hobby into obsession. In the late 90's this obsession combined with a knack for being ""good with computers"" led to a development of jeepfan.com, a Jeep based website that blossomed into a full fledged site all about Jeep life. Hundreds of articles later the site still serves the Jeep community to provide a wealth of information on all things Jeep."
