CJ-3B Rock Crawlers

"Little Red", a 1958 CJ-3B, belongs to Rick Kirby of Lenoir City, Tennessee. Rick says, "My son and I purchased it 3 years ago and did a frame-up resto on it. We installed a 4.3 V-6, T-18 trans, 38" swampers, Scout axles, detroit lockers. We love it. This is my 7th Jeep."

"These pictures were taken at the Upper Tellico OHV area. It is close to Tellico Plains, Tennessee, which is about 60 miles southeast of Knoxville. It is one of the best places in the USA to offroad."
 

Meanwhile, Rob Richardson in upstate New York has built "Shore Patrol", a 4.3L V6-powered CJ-3B. He says, "I shouldn't even call it a 3B because the donor frame and axles are from a 1955 CJ-5. I put an aftermarket 3B body on it and painted it canary yellow.
 

Modifications to Rob's Jeep include:

• 4.3 Chevy motor (carburated)
• TH350 automatic tranny mated to Spicer 18 transfer case (Advance Adapters)
• 4 inch suspension lift (Skyjacker)
• Power steering ('85 Chevy Blazer)
• GM tilt steering column (Blazer)
• 33" x 12.5 Dick Cepek tires on chrome rims

Thanks to Rick and Rob for the photos. -- Derek Redmond
