CJ frames have been known to crack and should be inspected and reinforced at least from the bellhousing forward. Complete replacement frames are also available for those beyond rescue. We like the bobbed fenders on this CJ better than the rounded factory look.

CJs have had their engines swapped since before color TV. Just about every engine has been stuffed in to provide big horsepower. The coolest swap we've seen is with a 3.9L Cummins diesel. No major rpm, but enough torque to make a V-8 look weak.

The '81-'86 CJs came with five-bolt locking hubs. Liberal use of the stupid pedal will certainly loosen the bolts and break them. Get Warn hubs if you refuse to upgrade (they seem to be the strongest and have a lifetime warranty). Internal hub conversions are available from Warn as well for those who get tired of the snappity hubs. Early six-bolt hubs are also a good swap alternative if used with studs.
