Going with a POS Exchange that had issues but were resolved by a reputable knife mechanic. Robert Klass Kissing Crane with a blade for every occasion, even a wine happy hour. Nice horn and the scissor spring isn't broken. Don't tell LJ, he may want this one back!

My great-uncle kept a bunch of junker Jeeps around the large farm he ran, and gave Granddad two--the CJ-3 and a rusted out CJ-5 with some rare parts (factory V-6, a Kelly Bonanza III cab). Without my Granddad's permission, my Dad heavily modified the CJ-3, and did a crappy job of it. We had a long battle over whose it actually was (which the title clearly lists my Granddad and grandmother), but after some underhanded behavior by my Dad and a woman he married about 10 years ago, I said it's time I got started. The CJ-5 is a write-off, but still has loads of useful bits on it, so it will be as Dad intended--a parts donor. I want to save its V-6 and cab for a nice CJ-5 that's not rusted out.

CJ-3 is a mess. I t was heavily lifted, the rear axle's diff was welded, and some gaudy accessories were added. He added bucket seats that don't even have seatbelts! I even suspect the tailgate was removed and replaced with a welded-in piece of sheet steel. `Most of the original bits are in an outbuilding and the body of a 1950s Hackney milk truck, so I don't have to go searching for new ones.

I'm not very knowledgeable, but a neighbor of mine is a Jeep nut and is currently working on a CJ-5. And, I read the Haynes guide a few times since I bought it 5 years ago and the project was on the backburner due to issues in "who owns the darn thing.

First of all, I plan to just change the gas, change all the fluids, air up the tires, and get a new battery; as well as making sure the brakes are good. The next stage will be replacing the modified rear axle with the unmolested Dana 44 from the CJ-5. Removing other mods and trying to take it back closer to stock is for when I have a bit more income. I plan to go KISS and have lockers, but all mechanical. The end project is a go-anywhere farm work vehicle. It's also got a period correct mechanical Warn winch up front that runs off the PTO.

Another thing I'm doing is buying back the F-250 my Granddad bought new in '88 from this same neighbor (who bought it from my Dad; whom my Granddad sold the F-250 to in 2000 when he bought the '98 RAM I now drive). It's being built out as a workhorse also.
