1979 Jeep CJ5 custom rock crawler / Mudding / Beach Cruising

1979 Jeep CJ

Hey up for sale is my custom CJ5 crawler built mainly by Southen Offraod in Pelham, AL

The Jeep is totally custom from front to back, full roll cage, AMC V8, 4:1 dual transfer case with custom front drive shaft, on board air and the list goes on. The jeep has won a few amateur Comps but for the last few years just been mostly sitting around, I fire her up and roll around from time to time but I've slowly come to relies she needs a new home. She has less then 500 miles since shes been built on her.

The jeep was built to be street legal in AL except for the beadlocks but I've never known any one to get a ticket for that.

I would definitely have the motor tuned and everything a good once over before going very far but she's drives around just fine.

Has a new clutch as of July.

The jeep is sold as is, which is 100% running but it has been off the road for a few years sitting covered. She needs new bushings at a few of the shock mount points. The air compressor works and builds pressure in the tank but it leaks out, though i think it may be my accessory hose I used to check it. The passenger side seat has been used as a cat scratching post a few times.

The jeep was built with 37" tires in mind but they shop ordered the wrong ones and she's been on 42 since.

I have a set of 8 lug rims with super small tires on them to so it can fit on a U-hal trailer or small car trailer.

I never had to get a tag for it as i mostly took it to events or off road parks and a few places close by. It's too old to have a Title in Alabama but the bill of sale is the title here in AL (I have called to check.)

Series buyers only! I am in and out of town selling it so i got local friends and family who can help out with in person stuff.Local pick up only.
