I have an '84 CJ7 in the garage needing work right now LOL
I knew one guy who rallied in a V-8 powered CJ5 (Guy Light, from MI). Even with the super short WB, it was still hard to turn with a locked 4WD setup on gravel forest roads. He was pretty good at 'throwing' that twitchy thing sideways entering corners.... braver and more skillful than me!
