1975 CJ6 Tow Rig in California

Going up to the Rubicon on Hwy395 doing about 70mph up the grades and this CJ-6 towing a pretty hefty camper passed us like we weren’t moving. We were stopping pretty frequently looking at the sights and must have passed eachother 4 or 5 times.  Rig was a ‘74 or ‘75 - I forget. Funny as all get out to see.

I’m guessing from Christians new avitar on EarlyCJ5.com that he was driving his Project Hatari 1971 CJ6.  I can’t imagine the odds of two old 6’s passing each other on the same road.  This would definitely never happen here in Michigan.

    First off - Great site!  Love CJ’6's!  This may sound like an odd question, but what color is this CJ-6?  I’ve got a ‘73 that my young son and I are working on, and I gave him choice of color to paint it, and he chose blue.  Well, I’ve seen several intermediates this color, and I really like it.  I am thinking Renegade Blue, but need confirmation.  Thanks!!

    Hi Alex -

    There’s no real way to be exactly sure, since the pic was taken on the road, and the owner remains unidentified.

    Try http://www.autocolorlibrary.com ...maybe they’ll have the ‘74 or ‘75 color chips to look at.

    Thanks for the link!  Based on the info in the link, I would have to guess “Jet Set Blue Poly” if it’s earlier than a ‘75, and “medium blue poly” if it is a ‘75.  Thanks again!
