Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I recieved this book as part of Librarything's Early Reviewers program. I found this to be an excellent book covering the Jeep CJ. Great resource for modifications and performance enhancements. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I have read and reviewed several CarTech guide books over the last couple years. This is by far my favorite and I believe the best done. Michael Hanssen does an outstanding job with the description and illustration of the various tasks involved in modifying the Jeep CJ. The chapter on the tires, wheels and brakes is especially readable and full of practical advise. I would highly recommend this to any CJ owner who is in need of or considering a rebuild. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. As a jeep owner ( I have a CJ5 ) I found this book to be one of the best overall jeep book I could find. It isn't a service manual, more like a cross between a step by step and a photo catalog of all the jeeps parts in various stages of rebuild. I really like it and am happy I have it in my library. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. This is an excellent book covering the AMC manufactured jeeps from 1972 through 1986. After reviewing the history, restoration and modification are thoroughly covered with many color photographs.
I've learned a lot about the Jeep CJ and how to modify it through this book. Lots of helpful photos and a wide variety of information. This book would be an asset to your library even for those that don't own a Jeep CJ.
Identifying the Jeep CJ series vehicles as the most popular off-road vehicles of all time may actually qualify as an understatement. They really are that popular. The CJ series arguably started after World War II with the CJ-2A being introduced to the masses, and while the early CJs have their share of enthusiasts, the largest group of enthusiasts began their love affair with the AMC-powered Jeep CJ-5s beginning in 1972. Joined by the longer-wheelbase CJ-7 models introduced in 1976, the CJ models were wildly popular through their discontinuation in 1986, when the Wrangler was introduced. These were the only models originally equipped with V-8 engines in any meaningful way. This era combined the ruggedness of the early Jeeps with some of the advancements and horsepower of a more modern era; it makes a platform that is both fun to own and to modify. In Jeep CJ 1972-1986: How to Build & Modify, Jeep guru Michael Hanssen covers all of the systems that can be upgraded to improve your Jeep's performance. Upgrades include suspension components such as springs, shocks, and steering modifications; driveline components including differentials, transmissions, transfer cases, and axles; engine upgrades including engine swaps; wheel and tire upgrades; aftermarket accessories; armor such as skid plates and bumpers; brake upgrades; and more. Whether you are looking to get into serious off-roading or just want to make your classic CJ a little more fun, this book will be a valuable tool in your shop or library.

But the meat of the book is the hows and how nots of the modifications. Swapping engines for greater low torque power? It is here. Altering or changing out the clutch, transmission, suspension, you name it, it is here. Tires,wiring, even the safety devices (winches anyone?), they’re all here. And like all the CarTech books I’ve seen so far, there is a flood of photos that clearly illustrate what is happening in the written section.
Mr. Hanssen doesn’t hold your hand through whatever you might be trying on your Jeep, but he certainly sheds an arc lamp full of light on the right path. This is a must have for both novices to the Jeep culture and old timers who can look back and say, “If I’d known that I probably wouldn’t have split my knuckles so often!”
A great addition to your auto library. ( )
