http://raleigh.craigslist.org/cto/4015422282.html I saw this ad on Craig's list. I see a coil spring on the rear axle along with the leaf spring. Anyone know what this is? |

Looks to me like it's some kind of homemade overload spring made from some leftover piece of farm equipment. |
Old retired fart living in Ione, WA. I have a 1964 CJ3B. Recently overhauled original motor, transmission and overdrive. 11" Bronco drum brakes on all 4. Needs a new coat of paint but that will have to wait till next summer, it's next summer and I'm working on that now UPS & FEDEX will continue to profit

Maybe it's a spring from a giant sized conibear used for trapping gators ? :lol: Ha Ha ! |
