1979 CJ 5 - Tods jeep resurrection

[M4wdFab]

I think the wheels could be painted or powdercoated- and you probably could get new center caps, or just leave them off.


what size are you trying to get again?

summit has these and they would ship today:  and a bunch other

I just ordered those a few min before your post came through.  Through this process, I've found that Summit isn't accurate with status of some of the wheels.  I had to call them to verify that they actually had stock.  I had tried to do the same with Quadratec, but found them to be less than helpful.  I had asked what they had in stock for a 15x7, black, steel wheels with a 5x5.5 bolt pattern...they told me that if I need to give specific part numbers for them to check.  What a pain.

Those wheels from Summit are supposed to ship this evening from OH and go direct to Jared.

summit is great-  type in "wheel" in the search-  then on the left side, you can narrow your search by width, bolt pattern, back space, color, price


i found 7-10 wheels in the 60$ range that would work for you in "black"


the status is usually pretty good.

wiper arms / wipers installed
intake air hose installed
driver seat holes drilled and mounted 1" lower



hows the wheels looking? or do you want it this week?  i think im done as far as i can go.  Ill get the paper work / bill together.

should pass inspection minus tires, possibly a rear view mirror (has 2/3 so should pass)

Wheels/tires will be delivered this week to you Mike. I'll let you know before we head up.

[TT Flier]

I have the review mirror and can drop that off this evening.  Other than that, I think we are done??

[M4wdFab]

i think so!  i did a final light check and let the cooling system warm up again last night.  Looks good.  I can give you the 3 second tour of the 4 screws on the side of the carb you might find your self monkeying with from winter / summer driving.

Hopefully Wednesday it will be nice for a good test drive to make sure all is good at speed!


i wont be in the shop tonight, but you can drop it in the ford, or wait till tomorrow.

If the wheels are good, we will get a sticker on it and all should be good!

[TT Flier]

I would appreciate the demo on the carb.

Wednesday is supposed to be sunny and 70+...could be a great night for a test drive.

[jacel86]

What time are you out of work tomorrow Mike? I could ditch out early to drop these tires to you.
(I'll use it as an excuse to actually make a meeting for a change)

[M4wdFab]

i will probably be out around 5:30 and could stop at the shop

[M4wdFab]

let me know what time today for tires, i left my phone at home 

i should be there at 5.  tons of meetings today but might be able to shoot out for a little bit. 

[jacel86]

I need to get some stuff in Rochester myself anyway so I'll run them up end of day. Probably be there just after 5
