It has been 25 five years in the making but I finally got a cj5 all my own again. I promise not to sell it, or do something silly like sell it for siding for the house. Plan to have a driver that is nice with a little more then stock goodies.

Thats a gloss black alright. It looks really good. Did you rattle can it or mix and spray with a gun?

The color is por with 2 coats of top coat. The color is really to my likeing. The only thing is the shop smells big time when I did it and I keep my hunting dogs in the shop. I blasted it first then pored it. It had 2-72 gears and I had a pro do the ring gear work. It now has 3-73. It has all new bearings etc. I never did any ring gear work so it was farmed out all the rest will be done by me. It will be worked on the run. It is really in great shape. I bought it off the second owner 60000 on it. And when you look at it it shows with lack of rust etc. In fact the owner still emails to see how the progress on her is going.

Good to hear you found yourself another CJ. Well done on the axles.
Question, what tranny is behind your 304? Is it stock?
I'm thinking it should be a T-176.
