UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.

Jack spotted this diesel modified CJ-5.

“Mercedes turbo diesel powered Jeep cj-5 for sale. It was built by the folks at Mercedes diesel 4×4 in eastern Pa and the build is documented on their site, they are the innovators of the Mercedes swap and all work is top notch. This CJ runs great, has lots of cool factor with the 5cyl om617 engine and gets 20+ MPG. It has a BDS 2″ lift on it, 4speed, new bestop supertop,32″ BFG radial all terrain tires. The frame is the cleanest I have ever seen and the all steel body is fair too, it just has some rust blisters. It hasn’t been run in winter on salty roads and has been kept up with.”

“I am selling my 71 cj6. This is a one of a kind vehicle and I can guarantee nobody has one like it. I have completely built it from the ground up. A cj6 is from the factory 20” longer than a cj5. I took this cj6 and cut it down the middle from front to back and widened it 14.5 inches! Yes that means it took two of everything to build this jeep, two grills, two hoods, windshield frames ect. The body sits on a 73 chevy blazer frame with 3/4 ton axles and 37 in tires. The engine is a 5.9 12 valve cummins out of an 89 dodge pickup. If you know about diesels then you know that this engine is as reliable as they get, best diesel ever made. It has a tf727 automatic transmission that was rebuilt less than 2000 miles ago, in fact the entire jeep has les than 2000 miles on it sense it was built. here is a parts list.

Mitch Needs Another Perkins Engine

July 14, 2016 • CATEGORIES: Features, wanted • TAGS: . This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

If you’ve been following Mitch Carter on Facebook, you know he’s been doing some great jeeping in his stock diesel-powered CJ-6 (Moab & Black Bear Pass among other places) … at least until he ran into an engine problem.

Now he’s hoping to find a second perkins 4.192 diesel engine. He thinks massey ferguson tractors, forklifts, generators, etc. Even a 4.203 indirect injected one would get him by until i can rebuild the original engine. If you have one, email me at d@ewillys.com or comment below and I’ll get you in touch with him.

I’ve known Mitch since he was a young kid. He does a lot for the PNW jeeping community and is always willing to lend others a hand.

About his engine problem he wrote, “I got crossed up on a rock on the alpine loop, and the fan bit the radiator. We patched it as good as we could which got us off the trail and over one pass to silverton. And this is where i made the mistake of leaving the cap off the radiator so it wouldn’t build pressure…. the gauge only read 200* but it was fooled by hot air and not water. The engine was much hotter and I fear it’s toast. Very little compression, hard to start but will still turn over and run badly while making equally bad noises.”
