Jeep Cj5 Vs Cj7. My 1976 jeep cj5 with 304 v8 walk around and drive. Thats the main thing you'll notice.
Personally i owuld just look for a good deal on a good running good looking jeep and not discriminate as to what model or year it is, if.
For stopping power, the cj 7 5.0 v8 braking system includes drums at the front and drums at the rear. Land rover series ii vs. Mechanically they are pretty much the same. Looking forward to your cj vs fj experience, although it is a challenge of one's objectivity to compare a battered underpowered cj with a newly restored sexed up fj.
