My CJ isn’t exactly a restoration project. Since it was pretty far from stock when I bought it, I have taken the approach of “if it breaks, it must be the weak point, so upgrade reasonably”.
I still have the original front axle and transfer case, but lots of other stuff has changed over the years. I’ve only added power steering (oh yeah, I have two manual saginaw boxes for anyone who wants them) and converted the rear Dana 44 to a full floater setup from Warn, and rebuilt the motor.
