UPDATE: Terry points out that the cowl suggests this is a CJ-3B. After looking at it again, I’d say he is right.

CJ-5 Surrey
Speaking of unique Surreys, Mike wrote the following Comment:
“Back in 1962, One of my dad’s favorite hangouts, Lee’s tavern on Crooks Ave. in Clifton, NJ bought a special order CJ5 with a pink surrey fringe top and matching upholstery. It was the talk of the town. This Jeep was a double twist on the phrase “special order”. It was a first generation Tuxedo Park model with the featured color scheme of white body with red grille and red wheels, along with the surrey top and seat covers which were installed over stock upholstery at the factory. The local legend story at the time was; He had to wait 6 months for delivery.”
So, I spent some time searching for a CJ-5 Surrey picture. I didn’t find any real ones, but I did find one toy: A CJ-5 toy from 1960.

Update on Sam’s Bolt-on Rack and Pinion for early jeeps
February 2, 2012 • CATEGORIES: Builds, Features, Tips & Tricks • TAGS: Sam. This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
Since sam last reported about the prototype bolt-on rack and pinion system for early jeeps, he has made a few changes to improve the ability to install the system onto jeeps that have been lifted. He reports that the system is installed on a number of jeeps without any issues. The system dramatically improves steering at low speeds and at highway speeds.

Wagner-Trac on a CJ-2A
February 2, 2012 • CATEGORIES: Features, Tires and Rims, Unusual, videos This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.
Glenn spotted these Wagner-Tracs on a CJ-2A. While it has a CJ-2A body, this is probably a CJ-5 or CJ-3B frame, because the tracks require a wheel base of exactly 81 inches. The tracks are one of six produced and bolt onto the axles.
According to the information at the video’s homepage:
“The Tracks were manufactured by a company called “A. F. Wagner Industries Inc.” of concord California. They were made sometime during the mid 60s and there was only 6 sets made and were apparently expensive and thus may be the reason there were so few made. They are called “Wagner-Trac” and were made specifically as a set of tank tracks for a jeep with a wheelbase of 81 inches. The wheelbase is not adjustable so the wheelbase is critical and just like a tank you would have to install turning brakes to drive the Jeep because the steering is null and void as soon as you bolt them on. They are all steel construction so were probably designed for offroad only.”
