Restoring an Older Jeep CJ

Fiding a late 1940s to 1971 Jeep CJ, in restorable condition, might not be the hardest thing to do. However, restoring an older Jeep CJ into a back-country rock crawling, highway traveler or urban commuting machine that will turn heads and provide you with years of motoring, is a completely different story.

If you are looking for such a machine, one book that is indispensable to guide you through the restoration process is Jeep CJ Rebuilder's manual, 1946 to 1971, written by Moses Ludel and published by Bentley Publishers. This comprehensive restoration and repair manual covers Jeep CJ-2A, CJ-3A, CJ-3B, CJ-5, CJ-6, MB, M38, and M38A1 models, from 1946 to 1971.

With more than 500 pages containing over 1300 photos of actual restoration procedures, plus the author's knowledge and extensive Jeep CJ experience, this manual is a must-have for the 1946-1971 Jeep CJ owner, restorer or enthusiast.

Need a transmission diagram or clutch linkage exploded view?
Borg Warner T-90, T-98A/T-18, and T-14 transmissions are covered.

Rebuilding a 134 L- or F-head engine?
They're covered, with the author's personal notes from his own rebuilds.

From the frame and suspension, through the steering and brakes, the fuel and exhaust systems - everything you need to know to guide you through your project.

What about finding parts? At the end of the book the author lists many parts suppliers from across the country, from California to New York.

Jeep CJ Rebuilder's manual, 1946 to 1971 is an essential handbook for your Jeep CJ project.
