building the 67 cj-5 right now and realized that the name on the side said JEEP. look over at the '79 and it says Jeep. is there a significance to this? patent issues? also who own the "jeep" in '67? i was guessing Kaiser.

.................97 s-10....................................79 cj-5........................................03 wj......................................67 cj5...................................87 samurai..........

If memory serves they used the stamp JEEP on their models. Later on when the tubs ran out or the die was changed, the word JOOP was stamped and stick on letters were made to go over them. My '79 CJ7 & '84 CJ8 says JEEP, my '86 CJ7 says JOOP on the side, so I guess Peach has a JOOP instead of a Jeep. Pisses me right off :1thumb:

P.S. Maybe we need to make a new category on the forum & a new JOOP club :grin:

he's not talking about the jeep/joop/blob(tj) stampings.
he's talking about how some cj's have a stamping that says JEEP and others that say Jeep

like the jeep in this link that has JEEP on the side

Been good. Even though a few hours ago i was about to jump off my balcony just to get away from the crying. It's all good now though. Got the truck on the road last night though. Still has the death whobble, but it's driveable. I just need to find a CJ or YJ to swap everything into now.

I looked in my older manuals and searched my resources but I could not find anything on this either other than body changes.

In the MB/GPW days of WWII they would make changes from year to year to half year. An example being when plastic was short they made the Sheller steering wheel that had plastic spokes from 1941 to early 1942 to wire spokes after June of 42. Through the years I've noticed this as far as the later CJs in body changes, not to major.
