  • Replacement Soft Top Kit for a 1980 Jeep CJ-5
  • The correct replacement soft top kit for your 1980 Jeep CJ-5 is the Bestop Supertop Soft Top for Jeep part # B5159715 for black denim, part # B5159701 for black, or part # B5159704 for tan. This system features a 23 oz fabric compared to the 18 oz fabric included with the Rampage soft top kit and it includes the doors unlike the Rampage soft top kit. The Rampage Complete Soft Top Kit part # RA68035 will not work with your CJ-5 as it is designed for YJ models. I have attached a review video...

  • What Is Needed To Tow A 1965 Jeep With A Motorhome And A 2002 Dodge Ram
  • At this time we do not have a base plate kit option for the 1965 Jeep CJ5. So flat towing would require a custom fabricated base plate kit to be made up. Once you have a custom base plate kit, you can use the Tracker Tow Bar, # RM-020, which is designed for towing long distances and more frequently. With this tow bar you will need a set of Quick Disconnects, # RM-201, to easily connect and disconnect the tow bar from the base plates. You will also need the a Safety Chain Kit, # RM-643...

  • Availability Of Tan Soft Top With Bow System For 1969 Jeep CJ5
  • You will instead want to go with Bestop Supertop Soft Top for Jeep - Tan # B5159504 which includes the bow system / support bars, the necessary hardware, fabric top, and two soft doors. The Bestop Tigertop for Jeep CJ-5 1955-1975, M-38A1 1951-1962 - Black # B5140501 requires your 1969 Jeep CJ-5 to have a bow system in place, which you do not have so it wouldn't fit.

  • Is There a Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 1972 Jeep Renegade?
  • It appears no one is manufacturing a trailer hitch receiver for your 1972 Jeep Renegade, which is likely due to the age of your Jeep. I recommend looking at the Curt Weld-On 2" Receiver # E17 for your Jeep. This receiver is bare steel so you will be able to weld it and any support plates to your Jeep before painting the assembly. If you are unsure you can visit a nearby fabrication shop to get their opinion on what they will be able to fabricate.

  • Availability Of Trailer Hitch Receiver For 1973 Jeep CJ-5 V8
  • The reason the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13412 you were looking at will not fit a 1973 Jeep CJ-5 is due to it being designed for the 1976 - 1983 CJ-5. In 1976 Jeep changed the frame from a partially open design to a full boxed frame which is why this hitch does not fit the pre 1976 models. At this time there is not a custom fit trailer hitch receiver for your 1973 Jeep CJ-5 but it may be possible to install a universal trailer hitch receiver like the...
