Default New Project

Been looking for the right project since the accident, and of course the sale of the Delorean... so here it is. 1982 Jeep CJ7. Its in pretty good shape... just a basic overhaul and then who knows...

I have done dozens of these, there is nothing more fun to drive in the summer, please PLEASE don't lift it and cover it in JC Whitney add-ons. That looks like a good, solid survivor. Finding CJ7's that aren't rotten is getting harder every day.

BFG 31x10.5 all terrains give the correct "look" on the stock suspension.

So I guess there is a market for concourse jeeps?
