Book Description

December 31, 2003
Is it time to rebuild the axles or install a locking differential on your vintage Jeep vehicle? Does your CJ model need a frame-off restoration? Between these covers you will find the unit repair and overhaul steps for completely rebuilding a 1946-1971 Jeep CJ! If engine, transmission, transfer case, axle, steering, electrical or metal restoration seem difficult or beyond your skills, here is the fix! Jeep vehicle expert, automotive instructor and author of the Jeep® Owner’s Bible™, Moses Ludel demystifies the most complex service procedures.

Talking with hundreds of enthusiasts 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. No longer will you struggle with pages of text steps and an occasional photograph. 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. With this ambitious effort, Moses launches a series of ‘how-to’ rebuild manuals with a photograph marking each technical step.

At the onset, Moses stripped a vintage CJ model to the bare frame, photographing every step in the process. He then disassembled and rebuilt each subassembly of the vehicle---again under the detailed scrutiny of his camera. All procedures are thoroughly explained, and even the most complex mechanical concepts can be readily understood.

For an authentic restoration to original equipment standards or sensible upgrades that will enhance the performance of your vintage Jeep CJ, this is the book. Moses Ludel brings his mastery of Jeep technology into your shop!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for the restoring sole!, January 13, 2004

This review is from: Jeep CJ Rebuilder's Manual, 1946-1971: Mechanical Restoration, Unit Repair and Overhaul, Performance Upgrades for Jeep CJ-2A, CJ-3A, CJ-3B, CJ-5 and CJ-6 and MB, M38, and M38A1 (Paperback)
I bought this book for my husband who is restoring a '56 Willies. We had look for manuals and books to guide him through the process and couldn't find any that he liked. I found this book on-line and decided to take a chance. I'm very glad I did!!!

My husband loves this book. It has step by step instructions with pictures (as many know are worth a 1000 words!) and tips. We would recomend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars keep looking, you will probably find it!, August 28, 2006
This review is from: Jeep CJ Rebuilder's Manual, 1946-1971: Mechanical Restoration, Unit Repair and Overhaul, Performance Upgrades for Jeep CJ-2A, CJ-3A, CJ-3B, CJ-5 and CJ-6 and MB, M38, and M38A1 (Paperback)
Although focussing on the rebuilding and some modification of a CJ5, this book lives up to its billing as a reference for all CJ models, even the earlier ones. The pictures are exceptionally thorough, and you can almost always find one of the model you are working on. The narrative is well crafted, and almost all needed explanations are included. The author has been successful in presenting needed steps and procedures that even an amateur can follow without bogging down in needless detail or cutting corners that the experienced reader would already know. I have been especially gratified that he includes procedures and information that the other "manuals" I use have omitted. This has been my "go to" source so far. Only weaknesses I see are that I have had to search, sometimes diligently, to find CJ2A information I needed, and the absence of parts numbers or exploded diagrams [including these was obviously not in his plan--further, they are readily available elsewhere]. If I had access to but one manual, this one would be it.
