    All those parts(release handle and cables) are available new for the 75 still.
    The same stuff for the 95 should be too long as its the longer wheel base

    Are you talking about the drums on the rear axle? If so then no. YJ is a 5 on 4.5in boltpattern your CJ is 5 on 5.5in.

    I got my new release handle from AMC 4x4 salvage.

    http://www.amc4x4.com/

    They may have been discontinued but she had a few in stock still(as of a month ago).
