FLAT-TOWING CJ-5Q I am buying a ’74 Jeep CJ-5 from a buddy of mine. It’s in pretty good shape, but I’m going to be flat-towing it about 500 miles to my home.

SKY HIGH: Charlie Melchner's 1977 Silverado on 46s

Charlie Melchner wanted to build a real truck. By his definition, that meant relying on a bit more than a simple set of lift blocks to keep him riding high on his colossal tires.
