What was the deal with the CJ-7? he stopped for quite a while on some of the rocks.
And on a few more trips you won't have to worry about chopping the top cause it will do it all by its self.

his 350 is not in the greatest shape I guess it is way under powered and bogs down way easy. 6.55:1 first geat with 2:1 atlas and 4:10's in the axles it is pretty well set up but the motor needs work

I was looking at those too and possibly replacing my JCR setup. Dan at ruffstuff is a great guy with some great parts as well.
