patrickt Every year was an adventure with SI. Thank God the jeep was only 2,400 lbs. The AMX motor in it was very warm with a .550" cam. As long as the idle was in the 775-800 rpm I would pass. Anything below and I failed. The other thing is the Jeep CJ5 is a roadster. The safety chains where a pain. My side pipes where factory installed and got I letter for Jeep about they where factory and failed every year. Had to get the Senior inspector to get the sticker. In those days a was a full @$$hol!. I never had a problem after a 67 vette went through behind me one day and the guy who owned it was a state MVState inspector. The vette had side pipes.
I still have the jeep, may put it back on the road at the end of the year if gas is $4.00 pre gallon. At lease the cobra handles better than the jeep, braking goes to the jeep along with 2 wheel driving. CJ's are not stable trucks at any speed. I could jump 2 lanes everytime I was passed by a tractor trailer and never move the wheel.
