Work on the 1978 Jeep CJ-5 included installing Skyjacker shocks and 15″ Cragar wheels, rebuilding the 304ci V8, and resealing the three-speed manual transmission. The truck was repainted black, the frame was powder-coated, and the interior was refreshed with Rugged Ridge seats, a replacement steering wheel, a Kenwood stereo, and a Rockford Fosgate subwoofer and speakers. Additional equipment includes an HEI distributor, Patriot headers, a dual exhaust system, a dual-range transfer case, a powder-coated roll bar, and a bimini-style soft top.
The body was removed from the frame, the paint was removed, the hood, tailgate, and fenders were replaced, and the truck was repainted black. Equipment includes a powder-coated roll bar, a bimini-style soft top, and black bumpers.
Chrome 15″ Cragar wheels are mounted with 31×11.5″ Falken Rubitrex tires. A lift kit as well as a Skyjacker steering stabilizer and shocks have been fitted.
Interior refurbishment work included fitting black vinyl-trimmed Rugged Ridge seats along with a Kenwood stereo and a Rockford Fosgate subwoofer and speakers. The steering wheel, glovebox, glovebox door, windshield wiper motor, shifter knobs, shifter boots, seatbelts, pedal covers, and sun visors are also said to have been replaced.
The three-spoke steering wheel fronts a replacement 90-mph speedometer and supplementary gauges. A replacement Equus tachometer was installed in preparation for the sale.
The 304ci V8 was rebuilt during the refurbishment, at which time it was bored 0.030″ over and fitted with an HEI distributor, Patriot headers, and a dual exhaust system with Dynomax mufflers.
The three-speed manual transmission sends power to the rear or all four wheels through a dual-range transfer case. During the build, the transmission was resealed, Ten Factory axle shafts were installed, and the frame was sandblasted and powder-coated.
