I remember reading the add, it has a Warn OD on the back of the Spicer 18 'case. She'll go more than 55-60.
Yea about 63.2 MPH, because the F head just ain't got the HP to overcome the wind resistance because drag increases times 4 per MPH of the speed...... :) (Actually I never noticed a huge difference between the L and F head 134 to make a big difference.)

I had a Warn OD on a 1962 CJ5 and drove that for years, about the only gain was I had another shift lever to do "splits of 6 FWD speeds" but that gets old on the highways. ( Maybe thats why my knees hurt now.... all that clutch work)

Congrats on your new purchase.

Last 3B I bought, I paid 50 dollars for............................ of course that was 1974........ ;)

It isn't an official club run so the tire thing isn't necessarily an issue, but I can see why you wouldn't want to run it with w/o front & rear tow points.

Little details... You just need to make it a family outing... You can seat all 4 of you in the CJ, right?

Just throw a 2x6 across the rear fender wells for them to sit on and tell them to hold tight to the backs of the front seats... What is the problem? :roll:
