Nice CJ in my parking garage today

[jakeman]

Nice Jeep but I don't know why people put tires like that on such a machine. Probably some old man's toy to drive around town when he gets the itch. There is a CJ5 just like it in my hood and same type of tires and yes, it is a retired gentleman who has owned the Jeep for decades.

A long time ago I had a buddy that had a CJ. He had 2 sets of wheels & tires for it. He could change them out pretty quick.

I also had a buddy that was a Landcruiser freak. He did it a little different. He had 3-4 vehicles (he actually had 6-8 but a bunch of them were for parts, but 3-4 of them he drove) and he had a daily driver with street tires. He never saw one he didn’t want to buy, but as far as I know he never sold anything or even any parts.

winch looks like it been used...

Sure does and by someone that doesn't know how to respool the cable correctly.

I hope the person that owns the vehicle pictured keeps it just like it is. The jeep in the picture doesn't need big fat tires or any other 'look at me' crap on it.

That's a slick CJ!

I have a DJ-5($400 craigslist find I built when I was in college), CJ-6 (very stock), and CJ-7 (that I've spent way too much money on preparing for some kind of mad max scenario), but as most of you that have met me in person know I usually just drive my 1990 XJ because air conditioning rules.

Apparently they still make General XP2000 tires.
I drove a Cutlass with those in the '80's.

Nice! Had an '80 Cj5 wish I had it now. Have an '08 Rubicon now I bought new for the wife.

Had a '73 CJ6 bought new with the 304. It was a Jeep with rag top and doors, 3 speed on the floor, no air, radio and any other amenities. Added sidewinder pipes. Good thing I was young because it rode rough no matter the terrain.

It's probably the right tire for 99% of the driving most people do. Frankly, most Jeep owners are wasting expensive rubber.
