I have a rock ready CJ-5 (82') I've done extensive work to it, new T-18 (gota have it!) newly rebuilt 258 I6, fuel injection, welder, Summer Bro axles w/ARB in the rear, Powerlok up front, 4:10's full cage, 33 BFG's 2"body lift. She's a rok crawler now. My only complaint is it's a CJ-5. The 5 is small! If your a pack rat like me, taking everything including the kitchen sink, camping, you'll soon discover how small it is. If I were to "do it allover again" I'd start with a 6cyl YJ (wrangler)more room, more power. There are tons of aftermarket goodies for them now, coil spring suspensions, etc...
Don't take this posting wrong, I'd sooner sell my house than my jeep, I just wish it were a CJ-7. I was young and dumb when I bought it in 83' Oh well, to live and learn huh? As someone else posted, it's all about what YOU want. And how much money you really want to spend. Our idea of what's best is slightly biased from our own experiences.
Hope this helped a little.
