Jeep Cj Rebuilder's Manual, 1972-1986: Mechanical Restoration, Unit Repair and Overhaul Performance Upgrades for Jeep Cj-5, Cj-6, Cj-7, and Cj-8/Scrambler
If working on your Jeep vehicle engine, transmission, transfer case, axles, steering system, electrical system or body tub has seemed just beyond your skill level, here is the fix! Moses Ludel, Jeep vehicle expert, automotive instructor and author of the Jeep® Owner’s Bible™, demystifies the most complex service procedures.
At his Camp Jeep® workshops, Moses discovered that hobbyists and professional Jeep vehicle mechanics alike want heavily illustrated, step-by-step ‘how-to’ manuals. For the Jeep vehicle owner who finds the typical workshop manual impossible to decipher, Moses Ludel breaks ground with this book. The author and photographer/illustrator of more than 2,500 magazine tech articles and five popular Owner’s Bible™ books, Moses undertook the Jeep® CJ Rebuilder’s Manual to meet the needs of Jeep vehicle owners and restorers. Using a pictorial, step-by-step format, this ambitious effort launches a series of ‘how-to’ rebuild manuals with a photograph marking each technical step.
Moses begins with the disassembly of an AMC-era CJ, photographing each step in the process. He then disassembles and rebuilds each powertrain, geartrain and axle component of the vehicle---again under the close-up scrutiny of his camera! Recognizing the performance expectations of contemporary owners, Moses Ludel then shifts to the popular upgrades that distinguish the ultimate trail-running CJ models. Each step is thoroughly explained, and even the most complex mechanical procedures can be readily understood.

If you are a hands on person with your Jeep or are building one up, this book will prove to be one of the most valuable sources of information.
We are VERY happy with it. Moses Ludel really knows his stuff!
Good book for hands on proyect (2007-10-14) Rating: 5/5
This book is a great book for the hands on beginner. Even if your not a mechanic with the information of this book AND a service manual you can tackle almost any job. This is not to replace a factory service manual but it does complement it. With the two books you could even repair the motor or transmission yourself. Moses does write in plain simple easy to understand english. I have other Ludel books and they are all good complements to any service manuals.
Not what you expect (2007-10-02) Rating: 2/5
The book is well illustrated and well written, but does not really apply to the average shade tree/geekmo mechanic such as myself. Hanes or Chilton does a much better job explaining average maintenance. One thing I was looking for was lacking - how to upgrade the smogged up engine by way of a weber carb conversion. The only option in this book was to go with a fuel injection system - expensive and technical. A disappointment for me, but for the master mech, excellent.
loved it (2007-03-24) Rating: 5/5
Expertly detailed by a master mechanic: his shop pratices and many tricks of the trade alone would be worth the price of the book. I found a lot of informations I can directly use in my project, not only the "how" but also the "why" and "why not". This book touches on the fact that most modifications have both advantages and inconvenients and will save me time and money. Clear and concise writing.
