1975 CJ5 levis edition
Sierra Patrol, I had one just like it, same year, color, and Levi Pkg, just not near as nice as yours. Did yours have a 304 V8. I remember being geared so low, I did not need 1st gear around town. Top speed 45mph around what seemed like 3000rpm. I bought from my brother-n-law.
My 74 Datsun 620 I learned to drive in 1978
Then the 79 Datsun 620 KC; torsion bars cranked, Dick Cepek Minitrucker mud tires, custom paint from the body shop where I was working, and a quadraphonic 8-track tape player. For a short time, I had my home sound system speakers riding behind me (15" sub, mid, and tweeter) with my seat all the way forward leaned up. Had to take them back out so I could sit comfortably. This was long before I heard anything about the installing a subwoofer in a vehicle.
Added Bushwacker Extend-a-Fender flares, soft tonno, Frenched marker lights on the side front and rear, and a set of radial ATs that rode WAY better than the bias ply Dick Cepek mud tires ever thought about riding.
My old beat up CJ5 I bought from my brother-n-law. Had to replaced all the wheel cylinders after taking a side trip through the ditch when one failed. Bump steer that kept me guessing which way she was going after each bump in the road. And more add-a-leaf helper springs than should be allowed to be stacked. My mom made seat covers out of my old blue jeans to cover the original Levi seats that were coming apart.
And a corner of my wife's 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix (wish I had this one now).
I'd pay 15 grand to have this one back today ):
), then Sold in 1996
