So I got myself a 71 cj5 to make into a rock crawler. Anyone else here have a 4x4 toy?

Toy Tacoma.....but it's more of a mud mangling mobile to get the duck killing machine to his favorite water hole.Oh and it's layered in whisky dent repellent.

I've seen a few conversions to diesel the only issue is really just the weight. With the proper gearing power is not a problem so a small diesel does the trick well.

My dad used to have a cj5 with a 327 small block & 4/11 gears it really wasn't that great off roadto but it could pop wheelies on the street.
