|  my first car cj 2a big plans for it
Hey guys well I am 15 and I have wanted a CJ 2a for a while now and my wish came true when I found one. I plan on putting a 9 inch in the rear, Dana 60 up front, 37 s, yj leafs, fuel injection, cage bumpers yata yata. Rte now I am need to get the radiator boiled and I need to fill and bleed the breaks. I drove it up my dirt road and around a little and it is fun but really bouncy it is all the leafs. Alos very very little break action. It has a buick v6 in it which starts good and runs good. The work will start once we sell our Toyota Tacoma it was supposed to be mine but I cant stand driving it so I got this and the extra money will go into the willys if your interested in the Tacoma PM me. Let me know wut you think

doesnt look too bad man. i am also working on a 3A right now. im putting wagoneer dana 44s under it, YJ rubicon express 4.5" extreme springs that will keep me sprung under and still clear the tires i wanna run, and im fixing some other misc. things that were done by the previous owner, it was built in the seventies/eighties so i can cut him a little slack. you going to be stretching the wheelbase at all? ive found out on mine that when you mount the YJ springs in the stock location that alone stretches the wheelbase about 3.5" per axle.

I agree, leave it alone and start with a YJ if you want to modify something. CJ2A's are not extremly rare, but they are alot more valuable in stock form than with alot of mods. Take the extra money you get from your Taco and buy a YJ, there are many more kits to upgrade your axles and motor. I've got a CJ2A, 1948 with a steel half-cab, original iron 4 cyl. three speed tranny, two speed x-case and original Dana axles. It'll go just about anywhere my '04 with 6 inch lift and 35s will... Don't ruin a classic, restore it.  |

I have messed with the old willys jeeps before and i will add my 2 cents. Leave it as close to stock as possible! The wheel very well with some minor mods. If you want to build a flatty into a serious offroad rig, start with something in alot worse shape and incomplete. The only part you can even use for serious wheeling is the tub, and you will be hacking the **** out of it anyways. Start with a yj frame and flatty tub and go from there. Basically what im trying to say, is that you have a survivor there, keep it that way! Chop up some old parts jeep that no one wants. I have wanted a near stock flatty forever, but they dont exist up here, and stock restored ones go for $15-20k. Congrats on owning something that alot of others can only hope of ever finding. Please dont hack it up!  |

Hack away, and in a few years look back and kick yourself in the @ss. Live and learn. These guys aren't just telling you to not hack an old classic up because it's an old classic. It's also because a yj makes a much better wheelin platform to begin with. But good luck with your project. |

I say cut it up! Do a mild lift and run a 31-35" tire and she'd be perfect. Swap some 44's under it and she'll wheel just fine. If you do it right, it's not hacking it up, it's improving. I just hope you live somewhere with mild winters, cause a Jeep is going to suck in the winter time if it's cold. You don't need a 60 and a 9" unless you have little man syndrome and want to be able to tell people you have a 60 and a 9".
