1977 Jeep CJ5 review from North America
"This Jeep is the best car I've ever owned!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear passenger side axle broke - first day of use after I bought it.
Headlights lost their electric current and I had it rewired with new fuses and swiches.
Engine carburetor was over flowing gas, causing the engine to over accelerate. Transmission shifter wire melted because it was touching the exhaust pipes.
Overall it's an awesome ride!
General comments?
When you press on the gas, it's like releasing Godzilla from a cage.
It roars!
