You know one of those big suckers you load your tub into and have at it. Where do I look for one and how much am I looking at spending on one. Any tips and such are greatly apreciated. If I grab that Cj-8 Im better off having one then not. Thanx
Pete

Thats exactly what Im talking about. But when I hear rotisserie I think chicken.   . I doubt I'll find one used but I'll keep an eye out. Maybe look for an auto body place thats closing or such. That will definately make the job much easier.

That is a great rotisserie for a CJ. I thought I had seen a homemade one before. The reason we went with an aftermarket is for the jacking ability to get the center of gravity correct as it always has different bodies on it. That and it was also a good buy (got it used)... 
Right now it's sporting a 65 Chevy II!

does the fact that the same article has been linked 3 different times by 3 different users in this same thread seem funny to anyone else?

no, it means 3 different users know exactly where to look
Early CJ 5 is a great site with all kinds of info about early cjs, I like the 71 and earlier cj for a number of reasons, own 2 so naturally it is a place I like to go and get info from.
Having said that, I like the crowd here, seem to get along a lot better as the humor has a twist to it I like.
But all in all the internet is a small place, you are going to like it or hate it as you will find yourself running into a lot of the same guys everywhere you go. |
