Hunting Machine, with pictures!
After years of love, my 1974 CJ5 Jeep has finally called it quits...
...and my new 2009 Megacab was baptized by fire!
I am incredibly impressed with it's off-road capabilities! Not to mention the heater (the Jeep was always a little drafty)!
The Jeep had an amazing run, but I am officially converted to my full-size Dodge!

No worries, the Jeep will never be scrapped, we go way too far back! It's just going to have to sit on hold for awhile until enough time and money become available... Needs a frame-up restoration.
The Jeep is one of the last years that a V8 (304) was put on the small wheel base. That engine will never die, but it certainly killed the frame! The frame is broken directly behind the front leaf pack, classic CJ5 problem. Lovin' the potential 4bt idea, someday...

Thanks for sharing the pics. Nice jeep and the dodge looks like it gets the job done too. Only one problem! It looks like you were hunting but where are the Pics of the bed of the truck? We want to see some critters.
