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 Rebuilders 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. 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!
